APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR PROCESSING PRIORITY INFORMATION IN A WIRELESS DEVICE

A User Equipment, UE, is disclosed. The UE comprises a controller configured to perform reselection according to a priority-based reselection algorithm between cells using priority information; a transceiver circuitry configured to receive an incoming message including priority information; and a memory configured to store the received priority information. The controller is further configured to, when the UE moves to a cell of a different RAT and in response to a determination that the received priority information comprises defined limits in excess of defined numbers of frequencies, (i) delete the stored received priority information; or (ii) delete priority information for any frequencies in excess of said limits.
