Abstract
The invention relates to a method for performing cell re-selection in a cellular network, and a subscriber terminal and a network part using the method. In the method: (402) the subscriber terminal measures received powers of neighbour cells in accordance with system information received from a current cell; (406) one of the neighbour cells is selected as a new cell; (408) the subscriber terminal receives a part of the system information sent by the new cell; (408, 412) the time it takes to receive the system information of the new cell is calculated using length information in a system information part sent by the new cell.
