Abstract
The present application relates to improving a roaming service. In an example, user equipment (UE) initiates a cell selection process to choose between a first cell and a second cell. The UE evaluates a first uplink (UL) channel condition of the first cell and a second UL channel condition of the second cell based on the initiation. The UE selects the first cell or the second cell based on the evaluated first UL channel condition and second UL channel condition. The UE initiates a random access channel (RACH) procedure based on the selected first cell or second cell.
