A novel and efficient connected mode cell reselection procedure is proposed to improve the mobility performance for user equipments (UEs) configured with extended connected mode Discontinuous Reception (DRX) cycle in LTE systems. A UE-centric mobility mechanism with which a UE performs cell reselection in RRC connected mode is proposed. The UE is allowed to select a target cell without handover signaling in the source cell and when needed to initiate signaling with the target cell, for which signal quality is much better. In this way, handover failures due to failed signaling in the source cell can be avoided. More specifically, the proposed mobility mechanism reduces signaling overhead and is inherently robust towards different DRX cycle settings, i.e., longer DRX cycles do not cause more failures, or more overhead, or more battery consumption.
