Abstract: A communication system including a UE, a base station, and a PLMN is disclosed. The UE may access a radio cell supported by a communication satellite. The UE may select a preferred PLMN for each of multiple potential geographic locations of the UE. The UE may transmit, to the base station via the radio cell and the communication satellite, an indication of the preferred PLMN for each of the multiple potential geographic locations of the UE. The base station may attempt to determine a current geographic location of the UE. The base station may determine a serving PLMN as the preferred PLMN for the current geographic location of the UE and may later determine a second PLMN if the current geographic location changes. The base station determination may not be visible to the UE which may reduce UE signaling and resource usage.
