4. The UE can receive cell broadcast service messages.
In the ETSI specification TS 25.304, the idle mode tasks were subdivided into 3 processes: 1. PLMN selection & reselection; 2. Cell selection & reselection; 3. Location registration.

subdivided into 3 processes:
if the UE is in the RRC connected mode states: CELL_FACH, CELL_PCH & URA_PCH
3G RPLS / AA / 10/2008

The mobile phone tries to find a suitable cell to camp on. With a suitable cell, all network services are available. If it is unable to find such a cell, it attempts to camp on any non-barred cell. It enters an internal "limited service" state. In this state, only emergency calls can be carried out. The same state is given, when no USIM was inserted in the UE or the location registration failed. The UE is also responsible for cell reselection in the RRC connected mode states CELL_FACH, CELL_PCH and URA_PCH. The purpose of camping on a cell are the same as in the RRC idle mode with the exception of RRC connection establishment (because the RRC connection already exists). The cell reselection procedure is the same in the RRC idle and RRC connected mode.

[-50 ... 50] dB, default: 0 dB. HOPS: AdjsQoffset1 (AdjsQoffset2), HOPG: AdjgQoffset1 WCELL: Treselection The UE triggers the reselection of a new cell if the cell reselection criteria are fulfilled during the time interval Treselection. This parameter is part of SIB 3. [0 ... 31] seconds, default: 2 seconds. The remaining parameters were already specified under NSN Parameters for Cell Reselection (Part IV).
3G RPLS / AA / 10/2008
Cell Reselection: Measurement Requirements

How often are measurements conducted for cell re-selection evaluation? What happens, if the criterion S is no longer fulfilled for the cell, the UE camps on? Serving Cell At least once every DRX cycle, the UE must measure the CPICH Ec/Io & CPICH RSCP level of the Serving Cell and evaluate the S criterion. Hereby, the UE filters measurement results. It takes at least 2 measurements, and the time difference between the measurements must have been at least TmeasureFDD/2. If the serving cell is not fulfilling the cell selection criterion S for Nserv consecutive DRX cycles, the UE has to start measurements on all neighbouring cells. The Nserv is known by the UE with the DRX cycle length. The UE has to find a suitable cell within 12 seconds. If it fails, and the UE is in the RRC idle mode, it initiates the cell selection procedures for the selected PLMN. If it fails to find a suitable cell within 12 seconds, and the UE is in the RRC connected states CELL_FACH, CELL_PCH or URA_PCH, it is considered to be out of service area.
