Abstract
Radio networks such as Public Land Mobile Networks (PLMNs), user equipment devices (UEs), servers such as Internet-of-Things servers, and core network entities may be adapted to facilitate transfers of connections of wireless devices. For example, a first PLMN may provide restricted access to a UE to assist the UE in finding a second PLMN for a full connection. Entities may be adapted to support for non-coverage related PLMN transfers, such as transfers initiated by UEs, PLMNs, servers, and core network entities, e.g., in response to changing usage, congestion, etc.
Claims20
An apparatus comprising a processor, a memory, and communication circuitry, the apparatus configured to communicate via the communication circuitry, the apparatus further comprising computer-executable instructions stored in the memory of the apparatus which, when executed by the processor of the apparatus, cause the apparatus to:
- receive, from a first network, system information, the system information relating to network support for restricted access for network selection assistance;
- send, to the first network, a registration request, the registration request signaling a limited registration;
- receive, via the first network, network information from a server;
- de-register from the first network;
- and
- register with a second network.
A method performed by an apparatus comprising a processor and a memory, the method comprising:
- receiving, from a first network, system information, the system information relating to network support for restricted access for network selection assistance;
- sending, to the first network, a registration request, the registration request signaling a limited registration;
- receive, via the first network, network information from a server;
- de-registering from the first network;
- and
- registering with a second network.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored thereon computer-executable instructions, which, upon execution by one or more processors, caused the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
- receiving, from a first network, system information, the system information relating to network support for restricted access for network selection assistance;
- sending, to the first network, a registration request, the registration request signaling a limited registration;
- receive, via the first network, network information from a server;
- de-registering from the first network;
- and
- registering with a second network.
