A method, computer program product and a wireless network node operate to determine a content of a multi-radio access technology priority list that includes n entries (n>1) prioritized from a highest priority radio access technology to a lowest priority radio access technology, where an entry for the highest priority radio technology includes a measurement delay timer value, and to send the determined multi-radio access technology priority list to a user equipment. The user equipment stores the multi-radio access technology priority list and sends measurement results to the wireless communications network for one of the n entries that is associated with a currently camped-on radio access technology and for one of the n entries that is associated with an active neighbor radio access technology. In response to detecting a loss of the highest priority radio access technology, the user equipment initializes a timer to the timer value and terminates further making measurements from a cell associated with the highest priority radio access technology until the timer expires.
