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.
Claims20
A user equipment (UE) for wireless communication, comprising:
- one or more memories;
- and
- one or more processors, coupled to the one or more memories, wherein the one or more processors are configured to:
- receive, from a network node, a broadcast communication indicating a plurality of standalone non-public networks (SNPNs), wherein the broadcast communication indicates, for each SNPN of the plurality of SNPNs, whether a SNPN permits access to subscribers of a network different from that of the SNPN;
- select, from the plurality of SNPNs, a first SNPN based at least in part on the first SNPN permitting access subscribers of the network different from the first SNPN;
- and
- register with the SNPN using subscription information of the network to which the UE is subscribed.
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), wherein the broadcast communication indicates, for each SNPN of the plurality of SNPNs, whether a SNPN permits access to subscribers of a network different from that of the SNPN;
- selecting, from the plurality of SNPNs, a first SNPN based at least in part on the first SNPN permitting access subscribers of the network different from the first SNPN;
- and
- registering with the SNPN using subscription information of the network to which the UE is subscribed.
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), wherein the broadcast communication indicates, for each SNPN of the plurality of SNPNs, whether a SNPN permits access to subscribers of a network different from that of the SNPN;
- select, from the plurality of SNPNs, a first SNPN based at least in part on the first SNPN permitting access subscribers of the network different from the first SNPN;
- and
- register with the SNPN using subscription information of the network to which the UE is subscribed.
