Original Abstract Submitted

Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for NR cell prioritization based on carrier bandwidths. An embodiment operates by storing a plurality of neighboring cell frequencies and respective carrier bandwidths of the plurality of neighboring cell frequencies. The embodiment determines whether a carrier bandwidth corresponding to a neighboring cell frequency of the plurality of neighboring cell frequencies is less than a serving cell carrier bandwidth. In response to a determination that the carrier bandwidth corresponding to the neighboring cell frequency is less than the serving cell carrier bandwidth, the embodiment determines a biased signal strength measurement by adding an offset to a signal strength measurement corresponding to the neighboring cell frequency, where the offset is determined based at least in part on a data throughput requirement of the UE. The embodiment evaluates a signal strength criteria of the neighboring cell frequency using the biased signal strength measurement corresponding to the neighboring cell frequency.
