Abstract

Described herein are methods performed by user equipment (“UE”) for carrier aggregation deployment and organization in unlicensed bands. The method includes initiating a cell selection process with a target cell, wherein the target cell sends a plurality of information blocks, receiving a first information block, prior to reading a second information block, determining whether the target cell is suitable for the UE to camp on based on the first information block, and terminating the cell selection process when the target cell is determined to be unsuitable for camping based on the first information block. The terminating may include comparing data from the first information block to data stored in a database. The method further includes determining whether the UE is in a stationary state or is in a state of motion, and using this information to improve cell selection delay on target cell.
