Techniques of handling forbidden list for localized services

An apparatus for wireless communication, the apparatus being a user equipment (UE), comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• at least one processor coupled to the memory and configured to:
• receive a reject message without integrity protection from a Standalone Non-Public Network (SNPN);
• add an identity of the SNPN to a forbidden list for access to localized services;
• start a timer;
• increment an SNPN-specific attempt counter;
• and
• in response to occurrence of at least one of an expiry of the timer, the UE being switched off, a Universal Integrated Circuit Card (UICC) containing a Universal Subscriber Identity Module (USIM) being removed, or an entry of a list of subscriber data being updated, remove the identity of the SNPN from the forbidden list when the SNPN-specific attempt counter has a value greater than zero and less than a UE implementation-specific maximum value.

A computer-readable medium storing computer executable code for wireless communication of a user equipment (UE), comprising code to:

• receive a reject message without integrity protection from a Standalone Non-Public Network (SNPN);
• add an identity of the SNPN to a forbidden list for access to localized services;
• start a timer;
• increment an SNPN-specific attempt counter;
• and
• in response to occurrence of at least one of an expiry of the timer, the UE being switched off, a Universal Integrated Circuit Card (UICC) containing a Universal Subscriber Identity Module (USIM) being removed, or an entry of a list of subscriber data being updated, remove the identity of the SNPN from the forbidden list when the SNPN-specific attempt counter has a value greater than zero and less than a UE implementation-specific maximum value.
