Abstract

Wireless communication is disclosed using a wireless communication device, such as a user equipment (UE) having a high-gain antenna. In a cell that uses at least one of reference signal received power (RSRP)-based cell selection or RSRP-based cell reselection, the wireless communication device may determine an offset RSRP by applying an offset to a measured RSRP if a signal quality of communications from a serving base station of the cell fails to satisfy a signal quality threshold. The UE may initiate at least one of a cell selection or cell reselection operation based on the offset RSRP.
