Abstract
Techniques are provided for implementing a cell selection procedure to get a user equipment (UE) into service on prioritized RAT after an out-of-service detection. For example, some aspects of this disclosure relate to a method including determining, by a user equipment (UE), whether the UE has a loss of service, and in response to determining that the UE has the loss of service, initiating an initial cell selection (ICS) and starting a timer. The method further includes determining whether a suitable cell is identified during the ICS and determining whether the timer has expired. The method further includes, in response to determining that a suitable cell is not identified during the ICS and the timer has expired, pausing the ICS, and performing an intermediate stored information cell selection (ISICS) to identify a suitable cell.
