Abstract
A method and device for assigning a cell to a wireless communication apparatus, and corresponding apparatus is provided. The method for assigning a cell to a wireless communication apparatus is performed when the wireless communication device leaves a standby mode so as to send a request for access to a desired service belonging to a class of services. The method may include elaborating, for each cell and for each class of service supported by the cell, an index relating to the loading rate of the class of services within the cell. The communication apparatus may then receive the loading rate indices of the cells liable to be assigned to the communication apparatus. The communication device then may select, from among the cells liable to be assigned to the communication apparatus, the cell to which the communication apparatus is assigned, at least, as a function of the loading rate indices.
