Abstract

A wireless device receives, from a base station of a first public land mobile network (PLMN), an indication of a failure of a second PLMN. In response to the failure, the wireless device sends, to the base station, an identifier of the second PLMN.

Claims (37)

1. A method comprising:

receiving, by a wireless device from a base station of a first public land mobile network (PLMN), an indication of a failure of a second PLMN comprising a PLMN identifier of the second PLMN; and

in response to the failure, sending, by the wireless device to an access and mobility management function, a registration request indicating the failure of the second PLMN, the registration request comprising:

one or more of a subscriber concealed identifier (SUCI) and a permanent equipment identifier (PEI) of the wireless device; and

the PLMN identifier of the second PLMN.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the indication of the failure of the second PLMN comprises an indication of a network disaster of the second PLMN.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving, from the base station, a configuration message.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the configuration message comprises the indication of the failure of the second PLMN.

5. The method of claim 3 , wherein the configuration message comprises the PLMN identifier of the second PLMN.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising determining, by the wireless device and based on the failure of the second PLMN, the first PLMN as a serving PLMN.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising determining, by the wireless device and based on the failure of the second PLMN, the first PLMN as a serving PLMN during a network disaster of the second PLMN.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the registration request is sent via the base station of the first PLMN.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the registration request does not comprise a 5G globally unique temporary identifier (5G-GUTI) of the wireless device.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the registration request indicates a registration type.

11. A wireless device comprising:

one or more processors; and

memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the wireless device to:

receive, from a base station of a first public land mobile network (PLMN), an indication of a failure of a second PLMN comprising a PLMN identifier of the second PLMN; and

in response to the failure, send, to an access and mobility management function, a registration request indicating the failure of the second PLMN, the registration request comprising:

one or more of a subscriber concealed identifier (SUCI) and a permanent equipment identifier (PEI) of the wireless device; and

the PLMN identifier of the second PLMN.

12. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the indication of the failure of the second PLMN comprises an indication of a network disaster of the second PLMN.

13. The wireless device of claim 11 , further comprising receiving, from the base station, a configuration message.

14. The wireless device of claim 13 , wherein the configuration message comprises the indication of the failure of the second PLMN.

15. The wireless device of claim 13 , wherein the configuration message comprises the PLMN identifier of the second PLMN.

16. The wireless device of claim 11 , further comprising determining, by the wireless device and based on the failure of the second PLMN, the first PLMN as a serving PLMN.

17. The wireless device of claim 11 , further comprising determining, by the wireless device and based on the failure of the second PLMN, the first PLMN as a serving PLMN during a network disaster of the second PLMN.

18. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the registration request is sent via the base station of the first PLMN.

19. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the registration request does not comprise a 5G globally unique temporary identifier (5G-GUTI) of the wireless device.

20. A system comprising:

a wireless device comprising: one or more processors; and memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the wireless device to:

receive, from a base station of a first public land mobile network (PLMN), an indication of a failure of a second PLMN comprising a PLMN identifier of the second PLMN; and

in response to the failure, send, to an access and mobility management function, a registration request indicating the failure of the second PLMN, the registration request comprising:

one or more of a subscriber concealed identifier (SUCI) and a permanent equipment identifier (PEI) of the wireless device; and

the PLMN identifier of the second PLMN; and

the base station, wherein the base station comprises: one or more processors; and memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the base station to send, to the wireless device, the indication of the failure of the second PLMN comprising the PLMN identifier of the second PLMN; and

the access and mobility management function, wherein the access and mobility management function comprises: one or more processors; and memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the access and mobility management function to receive, from the wireless device, the registration request indicating the failure of the second PLMN.
