Systems and methods for handling user equipment parameters upon authentication rejection

Abstract

A system and method for wireless communication are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a wireless communication device receives an authentication reject message from a wireless communication node as part of a procedure. In response to receiving the authentication reject message, the wireless communication device deletes a network list to which the wireless communication node belongs. The network list may include a Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) list or an equivalent Standalone Non-Public Network (SNPN) list. Additionally, the wireless communication device may reset various counters, including a registration attempt counter, an attach attempt counter, a service attempt counter, and a Tracking Area Update (TAU) attempt counter. The procedure may be a registration procedure, an attach procedure, or a Tracking Area Update (TAU) procedure. The system and method may also be implemented in an apparatus comprising a transceiver and a processor configured to perform the described operations.
