Abstract: A cell site of a cellular communication network may have both a Long-Term Evolution (LTE) base station and a New Radio (NR) base station to support NR Standalone connectivity and Non-Standalone (NSA) dual connectivity. The NR base station broadcasts system information from which a cellular device can determine relative service qualities of a NR Standalone connection and an NSA connection. The cellular device receives these qualities and compares them to determine whether to initially attach to the LTE base station or to the NR base station. Similarly, during cell reselection, the cellular device receives service quality information from a target LTE base station so that the cellular device can determine whether to attach to the target LTE base station or to an associated NR base station.
