Detect when window resize event is done

I have a site that needs to reload after resizing and have found my own limit of coding a script, that automatically reloads the page:

I want the script to behave like follows:

if window width was < 768px and stays < 768px I do not want to reload the page

if window width was >= 768px and goes < 768px I want to reload the page once

if window width was < 768px and goes >= 768px I want to reload the page

if window width was >= 768px and stays >= 768px it always should reload

The last part is done easy using the following code:

// After resize events
var id;
$(window).resize(function() {
    clearTimeout(id);
    id = setTimeout(doneResizing, 500);
});
function doneResizing(){
    if($(window).width() > 767) {
        if (window.RT) clearTimeout(window.RT);
          window.RT = setTimeout(function()
          {
            this.location.reload(false); /* false to get page from cache */
          }, 200);
    }
}

I think I have to create a var that stores the current $(window).width(); and than check with if {} else if {} else {}, but from this point my mind looses the control.

// After resize events
var id;
var startWidth = window.innerWidth; //get the original screen width

$(window).resize(function() {
    clearTimeout(id);
    id = setTimeout(doneResizing, 500);
});
function doneResizing(){
    if ($(window).width() > 767) {
        this.location.reload(false);
    } else {
        if (startWidth > 767){
            this.location.reload(false);                
        }
    }
}
