1. A terminal device comprising:
receiver circuitry configured to receive at least one system information block including parameter data from a base station in a cellular wireless telecommunication network, the parameter data including at least absolute priorities for frequencies;
a storage device configured to store an identifier that uniquely identifies the terminal device; and
control circuitry configured to control the terminal device, when operating in an idle mode, to perform cell reselection based on the absolute priorities for frequencies included in the received parameter data and based on a result of a comparison operation performed with a numerical value of the stored unique identifier,
wherein the control circuitry is configured to calculate an offset used during the cell reselection based on a value of only a last digit of the unique identifier.
