Abstract
A cell reselection method and mobile communication terminal using the method are disclosed. The method includes calculating first path loss parameters of a serving cell and neighboring cells; determining whether the serving cell is suitable for a communication service using the first path loss parameter thereof; performing, if the serving cell is determined to be unsuitable, a cell reselection operation; calculating, if no suitable cell is found through the cell reselection operation, a second path loss parameter of the serving cell using information on the distance from a base station of the serving cell to the mobile communication terminal; redetermining whether the serving cell is suitable using the second path loss parameter thereof; and setting an operation mode of the mobile communication terminal on the basis of the redetermination result. As a result, errors in determination of the suitability of the serving cell may be reduced.
