Abstract
Certain aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment may receive a network identifier of a cell; determine that the cell is a first type of cell; and perform an access procedure to attempt to connect to the cell, wherein a first type of access procedure associated with the first type of cell or a second type of access procedure associated with a second type of cell is performed based at least in part on whether the network identifier indicates a particular type of access procedure. Numerous other aspects are provided.
Claims30
A method of wireless communication performed by a user equipment (UE), comprising:
- receiving a network identifier of a cell;
- determining that the cell is a first type of cell;
- and
- performing an access procedure to attempt to connect to the cell, wherein performing the access procedure comprises performing a first type of access procedure associated with the first type of cell or a second type of access procedure associated with a second type of cell based at least in part on whether the network identifier indicates a particular type of access procedure, wherein performing the first type of access procedure comprises determining whether the UE has a subscription for a network identified by the network identifier, and wherein performing the first type of access procedure does not include determining whether the UE stores a closed subscriber group (CSG) identifier for the cell.
A user equipment (UE) for wireless communication, comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- one or more processors operatively coupled to the memory, the memory and the one or more processors configured to:
- receive a network identifier of a cell;
- determine that the cell is a first type of cell;
- and
- perform an access procedure to attempt to connect to the cell, wherein performing the access procedure comprises performing a first type of access procedure associated with the first type of cell or a second type of access procedure associated with a second type of cell based at least in part on whether the network identifier indicates a particular type of access procedure, wherein performing the first type of access procedure comprises determining whether the UE has a subscription for a network identified by the network identifier, and wherein performing the first type of access procedure does not include determining whether the UE stores a closed subscriber group (CSG) identifier for the cell.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing one or more instructions for wireless communication, the one or more instructions comprising:
- one or more instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a user equipment (UE), cause the one or more processors to:
- receive a network identifier of a cell;
- determine that the cell is a first type of cell;
- and
- perform an access procedure to attempt to connect to the cell, wherein a first type of access procedure associated with the first type of cell or a second type of access procedure associated with a second type of cell is performed based at least in part on whether the network identifier indicates a particular type of access procedure, wherein performing the first type of access procedure comprises determining whether the UE has a subscription for a network identified by the network identifier, and wherein performing the first type of access procedure does not include determining whether the UE stores a closed subscriber group (CSG) identifier for the cell.
An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:
- means for receiving a network identifier of a cell;
- means for determining that the cell is a first type of cell;
- and
- means for performing an access procedure to attempt to connect to the cell, wherein a first type of access procedure associated with the first type of cell or a second type of access procedure associated with a second type of cell is performed based at least in part on whether the network identifier indicates a particular type of access procedure, wherein means for performing the first type of access procedure comprises means for determining whether the apparatus has a subscription for a network identified by the network identifier, and wherein the means for performing the first type of access procedure does not include means for determining whether the apparatus stores a closed subscriber group (CSG) identifier for the cell.
