1. A user equipment device (UE), comprising:
a radio; and
a processor operably connected to the radio and configured to cause the UE to:
enter an idle mode and camp on a first cell, wherein the UE performs intra-frequency measurements, inter-frequency measurements, or both, while in the idle mode;
determine a motion status of the UE, wherein the motion status is determined over a first amount of time;
enter a reduced measurements mode based at least in part on the motion status of the UE over the first amount of time;
determine that a reference signal received power (RSRP) from the first cell is less than a first RSRP value; and
exit the reduced measurements mode in response to the determination that the RSRP from the first cell is less than the first RSRP value.
