LTE 2 reselection mechanisms are used in UMTS Legacy Based : This is ranking based system and it applies to intra-frequency, inter-frequency as well as for GSM reselection. Priority Based : This mechanism applies for cell reselection from WCDMA to LTE  Priority based method results into 2 different scenarios: High Priority UMTS to Low Priority LTE  Low Priority UMTS to High Priority LTE  Both legacy based and priority based cell reselection can be active at the same time. Reselection from Low Priority UMTS to High Priority LTE If LTE frequency is of higher priority than the current frequency, measurements are always performed . Measurement Condition: The UE searches every layer of higher priority at every Thigher_priority_search = ( 60*Nlayers ) seconds. Nlayers is the total number of configured higher priority E-UTRA frequencies Reselection Condition: Cell reselection occurs if UE finds a cell with an Srxlev value greater tha...
