Abstract
A method for operating a wireless communication device in a cellular network comprising a plurality of base nodes, the wireless communication device is operating in enhanced coverage mode with a first base node of the plurality of base nodes. The method comprises: —measuring signaling from at least one second base node, —determining an indication relating to the camping priority of said second base node, —in case the second base node has a higher camping priority than the first base node, but the second base node does not support enhanced coverage mode and said measured signaling indicates insufficient suitability of the second base node to serve the wireless communication device in normal coverage mode: —suspending measurement of signaling of the second base node, —measuring signaling from at least a third base node providing the same camping priority as the first base node.
