Abstract
An eNodeB (eNB), user equipment (UE) and method of cell reselection are generally described. While in Radio Resource Control (RRC) Idle mode, the UE may receive via a system information broadcast a cell reselection probability and a cell-specific priority list including a list of neighboring eNBs and their priorities for both macro and small cells operating on at least one frequency different from that of the serving eNB. The UE may generate a random number and compare the random number to the cell reselection probability to determine whether the UE is to reselect. The UE may randomly select among eNBs that have the same, highest priority. The UE may receive a predetermined set of cell reselection criteria from the eNB via a system information broadcast to determine whether or not to perform reselection.
