Mechanisms for hosting network selection

Abstract

A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) may trigger a search for a hosting network based on one or more of a request from a user for localized service, a periodic search, a loss of coverage, or meeting one or more validity conditions of the localized service. The WTRU may select one of a closed access group (CAG) or a stand-alone non-public network (SNPN) based on one or more of a universal subscriber identity module (USIM) elementary file, a user preference in local non-volatile memory (NVM) storage, a last searched technology, a power-up sequence preference, a value provided by a network, or a WTRU camped status. The WTRU may register with the CAG or SNPN based on the selection of the CAG or SNPN. One or more of the USIM elementary file, the power-up sequence preference, or the value provided by the network may be received by the WTRU in configuration in-(HNSM) formation.
