The invention discloses a
cell reselection method and device applied to a multi-carrier condition. According to the
cell reselection method and device, UE adjusts
cell reselection strategies according to acquired cell load information, priority information and other information, so that the problem of cell overload can be avoided; cell priority configuration related to the capabilities of the UE is introduced, so that UE supporting specific functions can preferentially reside in cells supporting the functions, and therefore, the improvement of user experience can be benefitted. The present invention discloses a method and device for reducing the access load of cells. According to the method and device for reducing the access load of the cells, as for cells where overload has already occurred, the
current load of the cells can be effectively alleviated through limiting access requests or
paging for services with high time
delay tolerance. According to the cell reselection method, the cell reselection device, the method and device for reducing the access load of the cells provided by the technical schemes of the invention, the advantages of existing
cell selection strategies are retained, and at the same time, the problem of load unbalance of the cells can be avoided; an existing
system is just slightly modified, and the compatibility of the
system will not be affected. The methods and devices have the advantages of simplicity in implementation and high efficiency.
