Abstract
Aspects of the disclosure relate to mechanisms for enhancement in UE cell selection to prioritize cells supporting 5G New Radio (NR) in standalone mode (SA) and in non-standalone (NSA) mode. In some examples, a UE may identify a plurality of cells within an area including a location of the UE. Each cell supports at least one radio access technology (RAT) and at least one frequency. The UE may determine a selection order of the plurality of cells based on the supported RATs and frequency bands to prioritize cells supporting the latest RAT (e.g., 5G NR) and select a serving cell based on the selection order.
