Systems and methods are disclosed for de-prioritizing an LTE anchor cell based on NR cell measurements. A UE may register on a first cell of a first Radio Access Technology (RAT), process a configuration message from a network prioritizing an anchor band of the first RAT, perform a first cell reselection from the first cell to a second cell of the first RAT that is in the anchor band, and perform cell measurements on one or more cells of a second RAT. In response to determining that none of the cell measurements for the one or more cells of the second RAT exceeds a threshold, the UE de-prioritizes the second cell in ranked cell prioritization data and performs a second cell reselection from the second cell of the first RAT to another cell of the first RAT based on the ranked cell prioritization data.
