Abstract: A method for performing, by a user equipment (UE), a registration to a network in a wireless communication system is disclosed. More specifically, the UE performs a registration to a first public land mobile network (PLMN) via a first base station, receives a disaster related message indicating that a disaster roaming service is provided, checks whether the UE is provided with the disaster roaming service based on the disaster related message, selects a second PLMN providing the disaster roaming service when the UE is provided with the disaster roaming service as a result of the check, transmits a registration request message to the selected second PLMN based on the disaster related message, and receives, from the second PLMN, a response message to the registration request message.

Abstract: An access point provides a hidden wireless network that is configured with a set of SSIDs so that the hidden network is discoverable with multiple different SSIDs. Based on detection of a probe request frame which indicates an SSID from a device, the access point determines if the SSID for which network availability is requested matches one of the SSIDs in the set. If the SSID does match one of those included in the set, the SSID correctly identifies the hidden network, and the access point responds with a probe response frame. Devices connected to the hidden network may have initiated the establishment of the connection with a different SSIDs despite the hidden network being a single wireless network. Scaling the number of supported SSIDs therefore does not impact the frequency with which the access point transmits beacon frames for the hidden network.

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.
