CELL SELECTION AT TRANSITION FROM IDLE MODE TO CONNECTED MODE

An apparatus that is in idle mode and registered to a first radio access technology network and to a second radio access technology network may camp on a cell which is one of cells linked for spectrum sharing. The cells linked comprise at least a cell of a first type and a cell of a second type. When the apparatus is camping on such linked cell and detects a need to transit from the idle state to a connected state, the apparatus selects one of the linked cells, and performs initial access to a cell selected to transit from the idle mode to the connected state. The cell selected may be different than the cell camped on.
