A method in a wireless device includes receiving, from a network node, an indication of a current coverage enhancement, CE, mode of the wireless device with respect to a first cell. The method also includes determining an estimated signal quality of the wireless device with resect to the first cell and if the current CE mode is a normal CE mode and the estimated signal quality of the wireless device with respect to the first cell is one of greater than and equal to a lower threshold and less than an upper threshold, adapting at least one requirement to meet enhanced CE mode requirements corresponding to an enhanced CE mode.
