A wireless device (104 2) configured to interact with a radio access network, RAN, node (102 2) and a core network, CN, node, the wireless device comprising: a processor (118 2); and, a memory (120 2) that stores processor-executable instructions, wherein the processor interfaces with the memory to execute the processor-executable instructions, whereby the wireless device is configured to: obtain at least one threshold identifying when the wireless device qualifies to use a mobility history list; wherein the obtain operation further comprises: receiving, from the RAN node, an update to the at least one threshold where the update is based on a start of an overload situation in a wireless communication network; and receiving, from the RAN node, another update to the at least one threshold where the another update is based on an end of the overload situation in the wireless communication network; determine based on the at least one threshold whether the wireless device qualifies to use the mobility history list; and based on a determination that the wireless device is to use the mobility history list, transmit a message including a list of one or more cells visited by the wireless device. a processor (118 2); and, a memory (120 2) that stores processor-executable instructions, wherein the processor interfaces with the memory to execute the processor-executable instructions, whereby the wireless device is configured to: obtain at least one threshold identifying when the wireless device qualifies to use a mobility history list; wherein the obtain operation further comprises: receiving, from the RAN node, an update to the at least one threshold where the update is based on a start of an overload situation in a wireless communication network; and receiving, from the RAN node, another update to the at least one threshold where the another update is based on an end of the overload situation in the wireless communication network; determine based on the at least one threshold whether the wireless device qualifies to use the mobility history list; and based on a determination that the wireless device is to use the mobility history list, transmit a message including a list of one or more cells visited by the wireless device. obtain at least one threshold identifying when the wireless device qualifies to use a mobility history list; wherein the obtain operation further comprises: receiving, from the RAN node, an update to the at least one threshold where the update is based on a start of an overload situation in a wireless communication network; and receiving, from the RAN node, another update to the at least one threshold where the another update is based on an end of the overload situation in the wireless communication network; receiving, from the RAN node, an update to the at least one threshold where the update is based on a start of an overload situation in a wireless communication network; and receiving, from the RAN node, another update to the at least one threshold where the another update is based on an end of the overload situation in the wireless communication network; determine based on the at least one threshold whether the wireless device qualifies to use the mobility history list; and based on a determination that the wireless device is to use the mobility history list, transmit a message including a list of one or more cells visited by the wireless device.
