Method for selecting PLMN of terminal in wireless communication system and apparatus for same

Abstract

A method for a user equipment (UE) to perform public land mobile network (PLMN) selection in a wireless communication system, and which includes selecting, by the UE, a first PLMN; in response to the first PLMN not providing direct communication resources, selecting, by the UE, a second PLMN providing direct communication resources; performing, by the UE, a registration on the second PLMN; receiving, by the UE, a failed registration code of “PLMN not allowed” due to a failing of the registration on the second PLMN; and performing, by the UE, the direct communication on the second PLMN in a limited service state. Further, the UE remains on the first PLMN based on a normal service state and the UE does not perform an additional PLMN selection during a duration of the direct communication in the second PLMN based on the limited service state.
