Abstract
Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may determine whether a standalone non-public network (SNPN), to which the UE is not subscribed, permits access to subscribers of a network to which the UE is subscribed. The UE may register with the SNPN based at least in part on a determination that the SNPN permits access to subscribers of the network to which the UE is subscribed. Numerous other aspects are provided.
Claims30
A method of wireless communication performed by a user equipment (UE), comprising:
- receiving, from a network node, a broadcast communication indicating a plurality of standalone non-public networks (SNPNs), and indicating, per SNPN, of the plurality of SNPNs, whether the SNPN supports access from UEs not subscribed to the one or more SNPNs;
- comparing an SNPN identifier of an SNPN to a set of SNPN identifiers, the set of SNPN identifiers comprising subscription permanent identifiers (SUPIs) corresponding to the plurality of SNPNs, wherein the set of SNPN identifiers is based at least in part on the broadcast communication;
- determining, based at least in part on the comparing, that the SNPN permits access from UEs subscribed to a network different from the SNPN;
- selecting the SNPN, from the plurality of SNPNs, based at least in part on the SNPN identifier of the SNPN having a highest priority among the set of SNPN identifiers corresponding to the plurality of SNPNs;
- and
- registering with the SNPN using subscription information of the network to which the UE is subscribed, based at least in part on determining that the SNPN permits access to subscribers of the network to which the UE is subscribed.

A user equipment (UE) for wireless communication, comprising:
- a transceiver;
- one or more memories;
- and
- one or more processors coupled to the transceiver and the one or more memories, wherein the one or more processors are configured to:
- receive, from a network node via the transceiver, a broadcast communication indicating a plurality of standalone non-public networks (SNPNs), and indicating, per SNPN, of the plurality of SNPNs, whether the SNPN supports access from UEs not subscribed to the plurality of SNPNs;
- compare an SNPN identifier of an SNPN to a set of SNPN identifiers, the set of SNPN identifiers comprising subscription permanent identifiers (SUPIs) corresponding to the plurality of SNPNs, wherein the set of SNPN identifiers is based at least in part on the broadcast communication;
- determine, based at least in part on the comparing, that the SNPN permits access from UEs subscribed to a network different from the SNPN;
- select the SNPN, from the plurality of SNPNs, based at least in part on the SNPN identifier of the SNPN having a highest priority among the set of SNPN identifiers corresponding to the plurality of SNPNs;
- and
- register with the SNPN using subscription information of the network to which the UE is subscribed, based at least in part on determining that the SNPN permits access to subscribers of the network to which the UE is subscribed.
7 more elements
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a set of instructions for wireless communication, the set of instructions comprising:
- one or more instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a user equipment (UE), cause the UE to:
- receive, from a network node, a broadcast communication indicating a plurality of standalone non-public networks (SNPNs), and indicating per SNPN, of the plurality of SNPNs, of whether the SNPN supports access from UEs not subscribed to the plurality of SNPNs;
- compare an SNPN identifier of an SNPN to a set of SNPN identifiers, the set of SNPN identifiers comprising subscription permanent identifiers (SUPIs) corresponding to the plurality of SNPNs, wherein the set of SNPN identifiers is based at least in part on the broadcast communication;
- determine, based at least in part on the comparing, that the SNPN permits access from UEs subscribed to a network different from the SNPN;
- select the SNPN, from the plurality of SNPNs, based at least in part on the SNPN identifier of the SNPN having a highest priority among the set of SNPN identifiers corresponding to the plurality of SNPNs;
- and
- register with the SNPN using subscription information of the network to which the UE is subscribed, based at least in part on determining that the SNPN permits access to subscribers of the network to which the UE is subscribed.
4 more elements
An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:
- means for receiving, from a network node, a broadcast communication indicating a plurality of standalone non-public networks (SNPNs), and indicating, per SNPN, of the plurality of SNPNs, whether the SNPN supports access from UEs not subscribed to the plurality of SNPNs;
- means for comparing an SNPN identifier of an SNPN to a set of SNPN identifiers, the set of SNPN identifiers comprising subscription permanent identifiers (SUPIs) corresponding to the plurality of SNPNs, wherein the set of SNPN identifiers is based at least in part on the broadcast communication;
- means for determining, based at least in part on the comparing, that the SNPN permits access from UEs subscribed to a network different from the SNPN;
- means for selecting the SNPN, from the plurality of SNPNs, based at least in part on the SNPN identifier of the SNPN having a highest priority among the set of SNPN identifiers corresponding to the plurality of SNPNs;
- and
- means for registering with the SNPN using subscription information of the network to which the apparatus is subscribed, based at least in part on determining that the SNPN permits access to subscribers of the network to which the apparatus is subscribed.
