A method of wireless communication of a user equipment, UE (104, 350, 404), comprising: receiving (401, 502) a priority list associated with preferred radio frequencies from a serving base station (102, 180, 402), each radio frequency of the preferred radio frequencies associated with a first set of neighbor base stations operating on a first radio access technology, RAT; determining (403, 504) if the UE (104, 350, 404) is able to reselect to the first RAT; performing (417, 516) a priority-based cell reselection procedure for the first set of neighbor base stations when the UE (104, 350, 404) is able to reselect to the first RAT, based on the priority list; and performing (405, 506) a rank-based cell reselection procedure for a second set of neighbor base stations (408, 410) based on signal strength when the UE (104, 350, 404) is unable to reselect to the first RAT, wherein the performing the rank-based cell reselection procedure comprises: determining that a first signal strength associated with the serving base station meets a reselection threshold criteria; determining a respective second signal strength associated with each of the second set of neighbor base stations upon determining that the first signal strength meets the reselection threshold criteria, the second set of neighbor base stations being different from the first set of neighbor base stations operating on the first RAT; ranking each neighbor base station in the second set of neighbor base stations based on the respective second signal strength for each neighbor base station; and reselecting to a highest ranked neighbor base station in the second set of neighbor base stations, the highest ranked neighbor base station operating on a second RAT different from the first RAT. receiving (401, 502) a priority list associated with preferred radio frequencies from a serving base station (102, 180, 402), each radio frequency of the preferred radio frequencies associated with a first set of neighbor base stations operating on a first radio access technology, RAT; determining (403, 504) if the UE (104, 350, 404) is able to reselect to the first RAT; performing (417, 516) a priority-based cell reselection procedure for the first set of neighbor base stations when the UE (104, 350, 404) is able to reselect to the first RAT, based on the priority list; and performing (405, 506) a rank-based cell reselection procedure for a second set of neighbor base stations (408, 410) based on signal strength when the UE (104, 350, 404) is unable to reselect to the first RAT, wherein the performing the rank-based cell reselection procedure comprises: determining that a first signal strength associated with the serving base station meets a reselection threshold criteria; determining a respective second signal strength associated with each of the second set of neighbor base stations upon determining that the first signal strength meets the reselection threshold criteria, the second set of neighbor base stations being different from the first set of neighbor base stations operating on the first RAT; ranking each neighbor base station in the second set of neighbor base stations based on the respective second signal strength for each neighbor base station; and reselecting to a highest ranked neighbor base station in the second set of neighbor base stations, the highest ranked neighbor base station operating on a second RAT different from the first RAT. determining that a first signal strength associated with the serving base station meets a reselection threshold criteria; determining a respective second signal strength associated with each of the second set of neighbor base stations upon determining that the first signal strength meets the reselection threshold criteria, the second set of neighbor base stations being different from the first set of neighbor base stations operating on the first RAT; ranking each neighbor base station in the second set of neighbor base stations based on the respective second signal strength for each neighbor base station; and reselecting to a highest ranked neighbor base station in the second set of neighbor base stations, the highest ranked neighbor base station operating on a second RAT different from the first RAT.
