PUBLIC LAND MOBILE NETWORK SELECTION BY USER EQUIPMENT IN AN INACTIVE MODE AT A RADIO RESOURCE CONTROL LAYER

摘要

This document describes techniques and apparatuses for handling Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) selection while user equipment (110) is in an inactive mode at a radio resource control layer. In aspects, the UE performs (502) a cell-selection procedure that selects a first cell that serves a first Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN). The UE establishes a radio connection (504) to the first PLMN. The UE transitions (506) from a connected mode at a radio resource control layer to an inactive mode at a radio resource control layer. After a period of time, the UE performs a cell-reselection procedure (508) that selects a second cell that serves a second PLMN. The UE determines (510) if the second PLMN is an equivalent PLMN to the first PLMN. If the second PLMN is an equivalent PLMN to the first PLMN, the UE sends (512) an indication to a lower layer that triggers an action.
