Abstract

A terminal and system are disclosed. The terminal includes an obtaining unit and a processing unit. The obtaining unit is configured to obtain a dedicated priority list and a valid time of the dedicated priority list from a Long Term Evolution (LTE) system. When the terminal camps on a cell of a non-LTE system, the processing unit is configured to perform cell reselection according to the dedicated priority list before the valid time expires, and perform cell reselection according to a public priority list after the valid time expires, where the public priority list is obtained from one of the LTE system and the non-LTE system. According to an embodiment of the invention, the terminal performs cell reselection by using the dedicated priority list obtained from the LTE system so as to free the non-LTE system from establishing the dedicated priority list.
