1. A method performed by a communication device, comprising:
receiving information from a first communication node;
determining, based on the information from the first communication node, whether the first communication node is associated with a different public land mobile network, PLMN, identifier than that of the communication device; and
in response to the first communication node being associated with a different PLMN identifier than that of the communication device;
associating a lowest priority value, which is associated with a frequency for cell selection and reselection, to a second communication node in communication node reselection, wherein the second communication node, when assigned with the lowest priority value, is not barred from candidate cells for cell selection and reselection, and still has a chance to be selected by the communication device for cell selection and reselection.
