Publication number: 20240007878Abstract: User equipment (UE) may detect a disaster condition, and the resolution thereof, based on broadcast information, RRC messaging, NAS messaging, the ability to connect to an allowable PLMN, and indications from forbidden PLMNs. In a disaster condition, a UE may perform an enhanced PLMN selection procedure wherein, for example, the UE will not consider PLMNs that are in a disaster situation if the disaster situation applies to a current location of the UE, prioritize forbidden PLMNs for disaster roaming connection. For disaster roaming connection, the UE may be configured by an otherwise forbidden PLMN with information about what services the UE can access and what type of authentication procedure the network is able to perform with UE. Upon detecting that the disaster condition is over, the UE move back to an allowable PLMN.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 30, 2021Publication date: January 4, 2024Inventors: Michael STARSINIC, Quang LY, Catalina MLADIN, Jiwan NINGLEKHU, Pascal ADJAKPLE, Hongkun LI
