Abstract
Solutions pertaining to adjusted public land mobile network (PLMN) search in mobile initiated connection only (MICO) mode in mobile communications are proposed. An apparatus implemented in a UE activates a MICO mode. The apparatus then postpones a periodic PLMN search in response to the UE being in the MICO mode, with the periodic PLMN search being controlled by a timer.
Claims18
A method, comprising:
- activating, by a processor of a user equipment (UE), a Mobile Initiated Connection Only (MICO) mode;
- postponing, by the processor, a periodic public land mobile network (PLMN) search responsive to the UE being in the MICO mode until deactivating, by the processor, the MICO mode;
- and
- performing, by the processor, the periodic PLMN search responsive to the MICO mode being deactivated considering the periodic PLMN search is controlled by a timer.

An apparatus implementable in a user equipment (UE), comprising:
- a transceiver configured to communicate wirelessly;
- and
- a processor coupled to the transceiver and configured to perform operations comprising:
- activating a Mobile Initiated Connection Only (MICO) mode;
- and
- postponing a periodic public land mobile network (PLMN) search responsive to the UE being in the MICO mode,
- wherein the periodic PLMN search is controlled by a timer, and
- wherein, in postponing the periodic PLMN search, the processor is configured to utilize another timer, which is different than the timer, to control the periodic PLMN search when the MICO mode is activated.
