Abstract

Des modes de réalisation de la présente divulgation concernent des dispositifs, des procédés, des appareils et des supports de stockage lisibles par ordinateur de sélection de cellule. Un premier dispositif reçoit, en provenance d'un second dispositif, une indication d'une liste de cellules associée à une caractéristique et et une d'une liste de cellules autorisées et/ou d'une liste de cellules exclues. Le premier dispositif détermine, sur la base d'une capacité du premier dispositif, au moins l'un des éléments suivants : une ou plusieurs cellules autorisées pour le premier dispositif sur la base d'une ou de plusieurs cellules dans la liste de cellules autorisées et d'une ou de plusieurs cellules dans la liste de cellules associées à la caractéristique, ou une ou plusieurs cellules exclues pour le premier dispositif sur la base d'une ou de plusieurs cellules dans la liste de cellules exclues et d'une ou de plusieurs cellules dans la liste de cellules associées à la caractéristique. En tant que telle, une commande de resélection de cellule séparée pour des dispositifs prenant en charge et ne prenant pas en charge de nouvelles caractéristiques est fournie.
