Introduction • In current D5 page 529 line 28 : – If Cell Bar bit = 1, this cell is not allowed for network entry or re-entry Motivate – In page 366 line 37 states that • If the AMS reads cell_bar=1 in SFH, this which means this cell does not allow access of new AMS and the AMS shall select a different cell to restart network entry procedure. – In page 387 line 17 states that • If an idle mode AMS is paged by an ABS whose Cell Bar bit=1, then the AMS shall not perform network re-entry to this ABS. – In page 807 line 15 states that • If Cell Bar bit = 1, this cell is not allowed for network entry or re-entry Problem Statement • Since the cell is not allowed for network entry or re-entry by operator or the ABS is out of service. • Therefore, the AMS shall not perform HO network entry or re-entry to a cell with Cell Bar bit=1 in its S-SFH. • To consistency with other paragraphs, we suggest to modify the wording “is” to “shall”. Proposed Text [Modify the following text in Table 837—S-SFH SP1 IE format] Name Size (bit) Notes Cell bar information 1 If Cell Bar bit = 1, this cell isshall not be allowed for network entry or re-entry
