Claim:
1. One or more non-transitory computer-readable media having instructions, stored thereon, that when executed cause a user equipment (UE) to: obtain, from an evolved Node B (eNB) of a wireless communication network, priority information to indicate a relative priority of individual carrier frequencies or individual cells, among a plurality of carrier frequencies or cells of the wireless communication network, for use by the UE to select a carrier frequency to monitor during a radio resource control (RRC) idle mode of the UE when a mobility of the UE is below a threshold; obtain, from the eNB, an indicator to indicate whether the UE is to ignore the priority information for selection of the carrier frequency or cell to monitor during the RRC idle mode when the mobility of the UE is above the threshold; estimate a mobility of the UE; if the estimated mobility is above the threshold and the indicator has a first value, select a carrier frequency or cell to monitor during the RRC idle mode without regard to the priority information; if the estimated mobility is above the threshold and the indicator has a second value, select a carrier frequency or cell to monitor during the RRC idle mode based on the priority information; and if the estimated mobility is below the threshold, select a carrier frequency or cell to monitor during the RRC idle mode based on the priority information without regard to whether the indicator has the first value or the second value.
