Abstract

A method for a User Equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the includes transmitting, by the UE which is outside of coverage, a first message for registration to a first cell on a selected first Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN), wherein the first PLMN which is not included in a list related to forbidden PLMNs; receiving, by the UE, a second message related to registration failure with the first PLMN; selecting, by the UE, a second PLMN; and transmitting, by the UE, a third message for registration to a second cell on the selected second PLMN, wherein zero or more PLMNs, which are included in the list related to forbidden PLMNs, are excluded in a selection of the second PLMN, and wherein the first PLMN with which the registration has failed is further excluded in the selection of the second PLMN, although the first PLMN is not included in the list related to forbidden PLMNs.

Claims (19)

1. A method for a User Equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

transmitting, by the UE which is outside of coverage, a first message for registration to a first cell on a selected first Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN), wherein the first PLMN is not included in a list related to forbidden PLMNs;

receiving, by the UE, a second message related to registration failure with the first PLMN;

selecting, by the UE, a second PLMN; and

transmitting, by the UE, a third message for registration to a second cell on the selected second PLMN,

wherein zero or more PLMNs, which are included in the list related to forbidden PLMNs, are excluded in a selection of the second PLMN, and

wherein the first PLMN with which the registration has failed is further excluded in the selection of the second PLMN, although the first PLMN is not included in the list related to forbidden PLMNs.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein each of the first message and the third message is a location registration request.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the second message includes information about a cause of registration rejection.

4. The method according to claim 3 , wherein the information about the cause indicates ‘PLMN not allowed’.

5. A User Equipment (UE) of outside of coverage in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:

a memory; and

a processor coupled with the memory,

wherein the UE transmits a first message for registration to a first cell on a selected first Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN), the first PLMN being not included in a list related to forbidden PLMNs, receives a second message related to registration failure with the first PLMN, selects a second PLMN, and transmits a third message for registration to a second cell on the selected second PLMN,

wherein zero or more PLMNs, which are included in the list related to forbidden PLMNs, are excluded in a selection of the second PLMN, and

wherein the first PLMN with which the registration has failed is further excluded in the selection of the second PLMN, although the first PLMN is not included in the list related to forbidden PLMNs.

6. The UE according to claim 5 , wherein each of the first message and the third message is a location registration request.

7. The UE according to claim 5 , wherein the second message includes information about a cause of registration rejection.

8. The UE according to claim 7 , wherein the information about the cause indicates ‘PLMN not allowed’.
