Methods, devices, and systems for configuring enhanced non-public network

A method for wireless communication, comprising:

• supporting, by a radio access network (RAN), a network access feature corresponding to access to a stand-alone non-public network (SNPN) by:
• broadcasting, by the RAN, a broadcast message to a user equipment (UE), wherein the broadcast message comprises:
• a group identifier (ID) comprising at least one network ID,
• a first indication indicating that access to the SNPN using credentials from an entity from the SNPN is supported, and
• a second indication indicating whether the SNPN allows an access attempt from a UE that is not explicitly configured to select the SNPN;
• and
• receiving, through radio resource control (RRC) signaling, a third indication indicating a selected network ID, wherein the RRC signaling comprises an RRCSetupComplete message.

An apparatus comprising:

• a memory storing instructions;
• and
• a processor in communication with the memory, wherein, when the processor executes the instructions, the processor is configured to cause the apparatus to perform:
• supporting a network access feature corresponding to access to a stand-alone non-public network (SNPN) by:
• receiving a broadcast message from a radio access network (RAN), wherein the broadcast message comprises:
• a group identifier (ID) comprising at least one network ID,
• a first indication indicating that access to the SNPN using credentials from an entity from the SNPN is supported, and
• a second indication indicating whether the SNPN allows an access attempt from a UE that is not explicitly configured to select the SNPN;
• and
• sending, through radio resource control (RRC) signaling, a third indication indicating a selected network ID, wherein the RRC signaling comprises an RRCSetupComplete message.

A non-transitory computer program product comprising a computer-readable program medium storing instructions, wherein, the instructions, when executed by a processor, are configured to cause the processor to perform:

• supporting a network access feature corresponding to access to a stand-alone non-public network (SNPN) by:
• receiving a broadcast message from a radio access network (RAN), wherein the broadcast message comprises:
• a group identifier (ID) comprising at least one network ID,
• a first indication indicating that access to the SNPN using credentials from an entity from the SNPN is supported, and
• a second indication indicating whether the SNPN allows an access attempt from a UE that is not explicitly configured to select the SNPN;
• and
• sending, through radio resource control (RRC) signaling, a third indication indicating a selected network ID, wherein the RRC signaling comprises an RRCSetupComplete message.
