Abstract
User equipment and method of notifying a wireless communication network of impending autonomous cell reselection from a serving cell to a second cell. The user equipment comprises: monitoring logic, determining logic and notification logic. The monitoring logic is operable to monitor signals received from said serving cell and said second cell; the determining logic is operable to determine whether the signals received from said serving cell and said second cell meet predetermined cell reselection warning criteria, and the notification logic is operable, if said predetermined cell reselection warning criteria are met, to notify said serving cell of said impending autonomous user equipment cell reselection to said second cell. Accordingly, user equipment is operable to send an indication of cell reselection to a network prior to fully triggering a cell reselection procedure, thereby allowing a network to make preparations for an impending cell reselection event, thereby minimizing potential disruption to a network user.
