Methods, systems, and devices for
wireless communication are described that provide for
cell selection or reselection at a
user equipment (UE) based on
cell selection preference criteria of the UE. The UE may receive a set of
cell selection criteria that provides a priority order for
cell selection based on one or more cell features, cell types, or combinations thereof. The UE, based on one or more
signal measurements of available cells and the
cell selection criteria, may select one of the available cells for communications. The UE may also maintain a feature cell
database in which a number of cells and an associated feature
mask may be stored and used to identify cells having features or types associated with the
cell selection criteria for use in cell prioritization.
Cell selection criteria may be used for cell selection / reselection procedures, mobility procedures, or any combinations thereof.
