while in an RRC_INACTIVE state, and performing activities associated with dedicated cell reselection priority information stored at the wireless device, send an RRC message to the network requesting to enter an RRC_CONNECTED state;
receive, in response to the RRC message requesting to enter an RRC_CONNECTED state, an RRC message from the network directing the wireless device to enter an RRC_IDLE state or to remain in RRC_INACTIVE state; and
in response to the received RRC message and if the received RRC message does not include dedicated cell reselection priority information,
discard the stored dedicated cell reselection priority information; and
discontinue the activities associated with the dedicated cell reselection priority information;

wherein performing activities associated with dedicated cell reselection priority information comprises performing cell reselection according to dedicated priorities while a validity timer of the cell reselection priority parameter is running.
