Abstract

A method to be utilized in cell reselection in a mobile communication network offers a cell reselection mechanism based on absolute priorities. The mobile terminal measures several characteristics of a radio channel. The mobile terminal is configured to determine for each of the cells if the characteristics of the radio channel meet corresponding predetermined criteria compared to the received threshold values, and in response to outcome of the comparison determining at least one radio channel for reselection of a cell. A mobile terminal and a system for implementing the method are also described.
