5.2.4.10  Cell reselection with CAG cells |R16|  p. 36

In addition to normal cell reselection, a UE may optionally use an autonomous search function to detect CAG cells on serving and non-serving frequencies. However UE shall follow the cell reselection criteria based on dedicated frequency priorities and only follow the autonomous cell search result if the result fulfils also the existing cell reselection criteria based on dedicated frequency priorities.

5.2.4.11  Reselection priorities for slice-based cell reselection |R17|  p. 36

The UE derives reselection priorities for slice-based cell reselection by using:
  • NAS provided NSAG information, only for NSAG(s) associated with the network slice(s) provided by NAS for cell reselection (see TS 23.501, TS 24.501),
  • sliceInfoList and/or sliceInfoListDedicated per frequency with nsag-CellReselectionPriority per NSAG, if provided in system information and/or dedicated signalling (see TS 38.331),
  • cellReselectionPriority per frequency provided in system information and/or dedicated signalling (see TS 38.331).
The UE considers an NR frequency to support all slices of an NSAG if
  • the nsag-ID and TA of the NSAG indicated for the NR frequency (see TS 38.331) are included in the NSAG information provided by NAS. If FreqPriorityListDedicatedSlicing is configured, UE only considers the NSAG-frequency pairs indicated in FreqPriorityListDedicatedSlicing for slice-based cell reselection.
The UE considers a cell on an NR frequency to support all slices of an NSAG if
  • the nsag-ID and TA of the NSAG indicated for the NR frequency in dedicated signalling but not in SIB16 (see TS 38.331) are included in the NSAG information provided by NAS; or
  • the nsag-ID and TA of the NSAG indicated for the NR frequency in SIB16 (see TS 38.331) are included in the NSAG information provided by NAS; and
    • the cell is either listed in the sliceAllowedCellListNR (if provided in the sliceInfoList) or the cell is not listed in the sliceExcludedCellListNR (if provided in the sliceInfoList); or
    • Neither sliceAllowedCellListNR nor sliceExcludedCellListNR is configured in the sliceInfoList.
The UE shall derive reselection priorities for slice-based cell reselection according to the following rules:
  • Frequencies that support at least one prioritized NSAG received from NAS have higher reselection priority than frequencies that support none of the NSAG(s) received from NAS.
  • Frequencies that support at least one NSAG provided by NAS are prioritised in the order of the NAS-provided priority for the NSAG with highest priority supported on the frequency.
  • Among the frequencies (one or multiple) that support the highest prioritised NSAG(s) with the same NAS-provided priorities, the frequencies are prioritized in the order of their highest nsag-CellReselectionPriority given for these NSAG(s). If no nsag-CellReselectionPriority is given for a NSAG at a frequency, the lowest priority value is used (i.e, lower than any of the network configured values for these frequencies).
  • Frequencies that support none of the NSAG(s) provided by NAS are prioritized in the order of their cellReselectionPriority.
For a UE performing slice-based cell reselection, if the highest ranked cell or best cell in a frequency fulfils the inter- freqeuency cell reselection criteria (see clause 5.2.4.5) based on reselection priority for the frequency and NSAG derived according to this clause or fulfils intra-frequency and equal priority inter-frequency cell reselection criteria (see clause 5.2.4.6), but this cell does not support the NSAG according to this clause:
  • if this cell supports any other NSAG(s) according to this clause, the UE shall re-derive a reselection priority for the frequency by considering the NSAG(s) supported by this cell (rather than those of the corresponding NR frequency);
  • Otherwise, the UE shall re-derive a reselection priority for the frequency as if none of the NSAG(s) provided by NAS is supported.
This re-derived reselection priority is used for a maximum of 300 seconds, or until new network slice(s) and/or NSAG information are received from NAS. UE shall ensure the cell reselection criteria above are fulfilled based on the newly derived priorities.
