US 2018/0007621 A1 · METHOD FOR SELECTING PLMN OF TERMINAL IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM AND APPARATUS FOR SAME

Abstract

A method for a UE to perform public land mobile network (PLMN) selection associated with ProSe direct communication in a wireless communication system according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: selecting a PLMN; and registering with the PLMN, wherein the UE performs ProSe direct communication in the selected PLMN without executing PLMN selection any more, even if the UE fails to register with the selected PLMN, wherein ProSe direct communication in the selected PLMN is performed in a limited service state, wherein the UE is in the limited service state when the UE has not discovered a suitable cell, when the UE receives “PLMN not allowed” or when the UE receives “GPRS not allowed”.
