BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Mobile telecommunications technologies are driving the world toward an increasingly connected and networked society. Compared to existing wireless networks, next-generation systems and wireless communication techniques will need to support a much broader range of use cases and provide a more complex and sophisticated array of flexibilities and access requirements. Long-Term Evolution (LTE) is a wireless communication standard for mobile devices and data terminals developed by the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP). LTE Advanced (LTE-A) is a wireless communication standard that enhances the LTE standard. The fifth generation of wireless systems, known as 5G, builds upon the LTE and LTE-A wireless standards and is committed to supporting higher data rates, a large number of connections, ultra-low latency, high reliability, and other emerging business needs. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Techniques for configuring and / or reselecting cells are described. A first example wireless communication method comprises transmitting, through a network node, one or more black cell lists to a communication node, wherein each black cell list describes a range of physical cell identifiers (PCIs) of one or more network nodes that are prevented from being used by the communication node for reselection, and wherein each black cell list is associated with one or more network identifiers (IDs) of one or more network nodes or an indication of a network type indicating a type of service provided by a network node. In some modes, one or more black cell lists are transmitted in a System Information Block (SIB). In some modes, one or more black cell lists are transmitted in a Radio Resource Control (RRC) signal. In some modes, the network type includes a Public Network Integrated Non-Public Network (PNI-NPN), a Standalone Non-Public Network (SNPN), or a Non-Public Network (NPN). In some modes, one or more black cell lists are configured for the intra-frequency of the network node or for each inter-frequency of the network node. A second method of wireless communication comprises transmitting, through a network node, one or more neighbor cell lists to a communication node, wherein each neighbor cell list describes one or more physical cell identifiers (PCIs) of one or more network nodes that can be used by the communication node for reselection and wherein each neighbor cell list is associated with one or more network identifiers (IDs) of one or more network nodes or an indication of a network type indicating a type of service provided by a network node. In some modes, one or more neighbor lists are transmitted in a System Information Block (SIB). In some modes, one or more neighbor lists are transmitted in a Radio Resource Control (RRC) signal. In some modes, the network type includes a Public Network Integrated Non-Public Network (PNI-NPN), a Standalone Non-Public Network (SNPN), or a Non-Public Network (NPN). In some modes, one or more neighbor lists are configured for the intra-frequency of the network node or for each inter-frequency of the network node. A third method of wireless communication comprises receiving, by a communication node from a network node, one or more black cell lists, wherein each black cell list describes a range of physical cell identifiers (PCIs) of one or more network nodes that may be used by the communication node and wherein each black cell list is associated with one or more network identifiers (IDs) of one or more network nodes or an indication of a network type indicating a type of service provided by a network node, and performing a cell reselection process using a black cell list from one or more black cell lists according to a rule in which an attribute of the black cell list matches an attribute of the network node with which the communication node is configured to communicate. In some modes, the rule specifies that the black cell list is associated with a network ID attribute that is the same as that of the network node with which the communication node is configured to communicate. In some modes, the rule specifies that the black cell list is associated with an indication of a network attribute type that is the same as that of the network node with which the communication node is configured to communicate. In some modes, one or more black cell lists are received in a System Information Block (SIB). In some modes, one or more black cell lists are received in a Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling. In some modes, the network type includes a Public Network Integrated Non-Public Network (PNI-NPN), a Standalone Non-Public Network (SNPN), or a Non-Public Network (NPN).In some modes, one or more black cell lists are configured for the intra-frequency of the network node or for each inter-frequency of the network node. A fourth method of wireless communication comprises receiving, by a communication node from a network node, one or more neighbor cell lists, wherein each neighbor cell list describes one or more physical cell identifiers (PCIs) of one or more network nodes that may be used by the communication node and wherein each neighbor cell list is associated with one or more network identifiers (IDs) of one or more network nodes or an indication of a network type indicating a type of service provided by a network node, and performing a cell reselection process using a neighbor cell list from one or more neighbor cell lists according to a rule in which an attribute of the neighbor cell list matches an attribute of the network node with which the communication node is configured to communicate. In some modes, the rule specifies that the neighbor list is associated with a network ID attribute that is the same as that of the network node with which the communication node is configured to communicate. In some modes, the rule specifies that the neighbor list is associated with an indication of a network attribute type that is the same as that of the network node with which the communication node is configured to communicate. In some modes, one or more neighbor lists are received in a System Information Block (SIB). In some modes, one or more neighbor lists are received in a Radio Resource Control (RRC) signal. In some modes, the network type includes a Public Network Integrated Non-Public Network (PNI-NPN), a Standalone Non-Public Network (SNPN), or a Non-Public Network (NPN).In some modes, one or more lists of neighboring cells are configured for the intra-frequency of the network node or for each inter-frequency of the network node. In another exemplary aspect, the methods described above are incorporated in the form of processor-executable code and stored on a non-transient, machine-readable storage medium. When executed by a processor, the code contained on the machine-readable storage medium causes the processor to implement the methods described in this patent document. In another additional exemplary modality, a device is described that is configured or operable to perform the methods described above. The above aspects and others and their implementations are described in greater detail in the drawings, descriptions and claims.

For example, in NR, System Information Block 1 (SIB1), as shown below, can include a different Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) ID.

For the neighbor cell list, a cell-specific Qoffset is provided. Qoffset describes a specific cell offset between two cells (or two network nodes) and can be used to prioritize one cell over another. One use of cell-specific Qoffset in LTE is to prioritize certain cells, such as closed subscriber group (CSG) cells. Similarly, Qoffset can also be used to prioritize certain closed access group (CAG) cells. However, in the current system setup, because the normal UE and the CAG UE can receive, query, or use the same neighbor cell list, the normal UE might unnecessarily obtain the high rank for some CAG cells and read the corresponding SIB1. For the black cell list, when the Independent Non-Public Network (SNPN) or CAG was implemented in the mixed operator, it affected the pre-existing R15 UE reselection mechanism. The R15 UE could not decode the range of a physical cell identifier (PCI) in NR version 16 (R16), so the R15 UE had to read the SIB1 from the SNPN / CAG cell with the larger range. To address this issue, the PCI range of the CAG / SNPN UE may be included in the blacklist. However, once the cell is shared by CAG and PLMN, it will cause misunderstandings for R16 CAG UE if it refers to the same blacklist shown in FIGURE 1 and as described below. In such a scenario, if a cell is shared by PLMN1 for public service and PLMN2+CAG1 for CAG service, the cell blacklists the PCI 1 range according to Proposal 1. The R15 UE that binds to PLMN1 (or is connected to the RAN node via PLMN1) will ignore the PCI 11 range during reselection. However, for the CAG UE that binds to PLMN2+CAG1, the CAG UE can read the PCI 2 range but will find that part of the PCI 2 range is blacklisted, leading to confusion. In order to overcome at least some of the technical problems described, this patent document describes example techniques for improving cell reselection technology. The example headings for the various sections below are used to facilitate understanding of the disclosed subject matter and do not limit the scope of the claimed subject matter in any way. Accordingly, one or more features of one example section may be combined with one or more features of another example section. Furthermore, 5G terminology is used for explanatory purposes in the explanation, but the techniques described herein are not limited to 5G technology and may be used in wireless systems that have implemented other protocols. EXAMPLES Example 1 - Techniques for transmitting a black cell list In some modes, a network node can transmit a black cell list, where the black cell list can be configured or transmitted on the SIB or a dedicated Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling as shown in FIGURE 2. Example 2 - Configuring the black cell list In some configurations, a network node can configure and transmit a black cell list to include a network type, such that the network type describes the type of service provided by that network node. A network type can include a Public Network Integrated Non-Public Network (PNI-NPN), a Standalone Non-Public Network (SNPN), or a Non-Public Network (NPN). A user equipment (UE) can receive the black cell list and, based on the network types and / or network IDs, use the neighbor cell list for cell reselection. Example 2.1: The black cell list can be configured for all NPN network IDs for intrafrequency A network node can transmit an intrafrequency black cell list to a UE using a SIB3 information element shown below, wherein the network node can include IntraFreqBlackCellList-NPN in the black cell list (in bold and italics), wherein the IntraFreqBlackCellList-NPN element can describe a list of intrafrequency neighbor cells included in the blacklist for a network node configured to provide a service type such as the NPN network type.

The network node can also transmit on SIB3 a first black cell list indicating that the pre-existing intraFreqBlackCellist includes PCI range 1 and range 2, and a second black cell list indicating that the intraFreqBlackCellist-NPN includes PCI range 3 and range 4. The name of the first black cell list indicates that it is associated with an intrafrequency for a first type of network that provides a public network service type, and the name of the second black cell list indicates that it is associated with an intrafrequency of a second type of network that provides an NPN service type.In this example scenario, after the UE receives the SIB1 and SIB3 information, if the UE is bound to Public Network 1, it can exclude PCI range 1 and range 2 from the candidate reselection list when the UE performs a cell reselection process. Similarly, in this example scenario, if the UE is bound to Non-Public Network (NPN) 1, it can exclude PCI range 3 and range 4 from the candidate reselection list when the UE performs the cell reselection process. In some modes, the network node transmitting a SIB can implicitly provide the UE with a network identifier of the network node, at least because the UE can determine that the UE is bound to, for example, Public Network 1 or NPN 1 of the network node, as described in Example 2.1. Example 2.2: The black cell list can be configured for all NPNs for interfrequency > your NCNNC -jccc A network node can transmit interfrequency black cell lists to a UE using a SIB4 information element shown below, where the network node can include InterFreqBlackCellList-NPN in the black cell list (in bold and italics), where the InterFreqBlackCellList-NPN element can describe a list of interfrequency neighbor cells included in the blacklist for the network node configured to provide a service type such as the NPN network type.

The network node can also transmit on SIB4, for an interfrequency, a first black cell list indicating that the pre-existing interFreqBlackCellist includes PCI range 1 and range 2, and a second black cell list indicating that the interFreqBlackCellist-NPN includes PCI range 3 and range 4. The name of the first black cell list indicates that it is associated with an interfrequency for a first type of network providing a public network service, and the name of the second black cell list indicates that it is associated with an interfrequency for a second type of network providing an NPN service.In this example scenario, after the UE receives the SIB1 and SIB3 information, if the UE is bound to Public Network 1, it can exclude PCI Range 1 and Range 2 from the candidate reselection list when performing a cell reselection process. Similarly, in this example scenario, if the UE is bound to Non-Public Network (NPN) Network 1, it can exclude PCI Range 3 and Range 4 from the candidate reselection list when performing the cell reselection process. There can be more than one interfrequency for a single cell, so each interfrequency cell blacklist can be associated with a network type. Example 2.3: The black cell list can be configured for SNPN or CAG for intrafrequency A network node can transmit intrafrequency black cell lists to a UE using a SIB3 information element shown below, where the network node can include IntraFreqBlackCellList-SNPN in a first black cell list (in bold and italics) and IntraFreqBlackCellList-CAG in a second black cell list (in bold and italics), where the IntraFreqBlackCellList-SNPN and IntraFreqBlackCellList-CAG elements can respectively describe lists of intrafrequency neighbor cells included in the blacklist for a network node configured to provide a service type such as network type SNPN and / or network type CAG.

The network node can also transmit on SIB3 a first neighbor cell list indicating that the pre-existing interFreqNeighCellist includes PCI identifier 1 and PCI identifier 2, and a second neighbor cell list indicating that the interFreqNeighCellist-NPN includes PCI identifier 3 and PCI identifier 4. The name of the first neighbor cell list indicates that it is associated with an INT frequency for a first network type providing a public network service type, and the name of the second neighbor cell list indicates that it is associated with an interfrequency to a second network type providing an NPN service type.In this example scenario, after the UE receives the SIB1 and SIB3 information, if the UE is bound to Public Network 1, it can include PCI Identifier 1 and PCI Identifier 2 when performing a cell reselection process. Similarly, in this example scenario, if the UE is bound to Non-Public Network (NPN) Network 1, it can include PCI Identifier 3 and PCI Identifier 4 when performing the cell reselection process. A single cell can have more than one interfrequency, so each interfrequency neighbor cell list can be associated with a network type.

The 1215 transmitter transmits or sends information or data to another node.

The receiver receives information or data transmitted or sent by another node.For example, a communication node can receive one or more lists of black cells and / or one or more lists of neighboring cells. This patent document describes several techniques for improving cell reselection technology. In a first example technique, a network node can transmit a black cell list, where the black cell list can be configured or transmitted on a dedicated SIB or RRC signaling, where a network node can provide a service type such as a network type that can include PNI-NPN or SNPN or NPN, where the black cell list can be configured or transmitted for each network ID or network type, and / or where the black cell list can be configured for intra-frequency or inter-frequency operation. In a second example technique, a network node can transmit a neighbor cell list, where the neighbor cell list can be configured or transmitted on a SIB or dedicated RRC signaling, where a network node can provide a service type such as a network type that can include PNI-NPN or SNPN or NPN where the neighbor cell list can be configured or transmitted for each network ID or network type, and / or where the neighbor cell list can be configured for intra-frequency or inter-frequency. In a third example technique, a UE can receive the blacklisted cells and perform cell reselection by excluding cells from the blacklist that fall under the relevant network types / network IDs from the list of candidates for cell reselection. In a fourth example technique, a UE can receive the list of neighboring cells and perform cell reselection by considering the list of neighboring cells under the relevant network types / network IDs for cell reselection.
