- the UE selects a corresponding cell if it finds a cell that satisfies a cell selection criterion. If a suitable cell that satisfies the cell selection criteria is not found through this process, the UE performs an initial cell selection process.
- the terminal After the terminal selects a cell through a cell selection process, the strength or quality of a signal between the terminal and the base station may change due to a change in mobility or a wireless environment of the terminal. Therefore, if the quality of the selected cell is degraded, the terminal may select another cell that provides better quality. When reselecting a cell in this way, a cell that generally provides better signal quality than the currently selected cell is selected. This process is called cell reselection.
- the cell reselection process has a basic purpose in selecting a cell that generally provides the best quality to a terminal in view of the quality of a radio signal.
- the network may determine the priority for each frequency and notify the terminal. Upon receiving this priority, the UE considers this priority prior to the radio signal quality criteria in the cell reselection process.

If the terminal is set to E-FPP, the terminal needs to detect the designated cell belonging to the frequency. For this purpose, the terminal needs to measure the frequency in which the designated cell is included. And, the terminal needs to evaluate whether reselection needs to be completed to the designated cell.
- the terminal performs frequency measurement, but the frequency measurement is related to the priority of the serving frequency and the target frequency and the serving cell. Is controlled by the signal strength / quality. That is, when the terminal configured as E-FPP considers the frequency reselection priority as the prioritized terminal, the terminal may not detect the designated cell. For example, if a priority of a frequency including a designated cell is lower than a priority of another frequency, the terminal may not measure the frequency including the designated cell, and the terminal may not detect the designated cell. . Furthermore, the terminal cannot measure the designated cell. Therefore, a method for measuring the frequency by the terminal needs to be newly proposed.

If the terminal detects and measures a cell at a selected frequency layer that is known to have no list of specified cells, the terminal may reselect the cell.
