Abstract: A user equipment (UE) executes a cell measurement method to shorten the time from radio link failure to reconnect to a telecommunication network. The UE detects at least one of a plurality triggering events for neighbor cell measurements associated with evaluating of the signal quality of the reference signals in the narrowband downlink channel in the serving cell. The UE performs neighbor cell measurements on reference signals in a narrowband downlink channel in one or more neighbor cells in a cell measurement period in response to the at least one of a plurality triggering events. The neighbor cell measurements are performed before radio link failure (RLF) associated with the user equipment. The UE selects at least one target cell among the one or more neighbor cells through the neighbor cell measurements and performs a cell reestablishment procedure.
