Abstract

One disclosure of the present specification provides a method for a terminal roaming in a second Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) to change the connection to a first PLMN to which the terminal is subscribed. The method may include a step for the first PLMN to receive a first message including first information from a base station in the second PLMN. The method may include a step for inspecting whether a procedure for deregistering from the second PLMN is required. The method may include a step for performing the procedure for deregistering from the second PLMN on the basis of the inspection result. The method may include a step for selecting the first PLMN. The method may include a step for performing a procedure for registering to the first PLMN.

Claims (55)

1. A method of performing wireless communication by a user equipment (UE) comprising:

registering with a second Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) and receiving a disaster roaming service from the second PLMN, based on a first PLMN being in a disaster condition;

receiving, from the second PLMN, an indication based on the disaster condition in the first PLMN being over;

performing a deregistration procedure with the second PLMN, based on the indication;

selecting the first PLMN; and

performing a registration procedure with the first PLMN.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the indication includes information to cancel the connection with the second PLMN and to access the first PLMN and to perform a registration procedure with the first PLMN.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the indication includes information that an emergency state of the first PLMN ended.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the deregistration procedure comprises:

transmitting a deregistration request message to an Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF) of the second PLMN through the base station of the second PLMN; and

receiving a deregistration accept message from the AMF of the second PLMN through the base station of the second PLMN.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the registration procedure comprises:

transmitting a registration request message to AMF of the first PLMN through a base station of the first PLMN;

receiving a registration accept message from the AMF of the first PLMN through the base station of the first PLMN.

6. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the indication includes information on an end time of service by the second PLMN,

wherein the UE does not request service from the second PLMN, after the end time elapse.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the indication is received through an SIB (System Information Block).

8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

transmitting a request message to maintain connection to specific application server, before the deregistration procedure; and

receiving a resumption request message from the specific application server, after the registration procedure.

9. A method for a second Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) comprising:

performing a registration with a User Equipment (UE) for disaster roaming, based on a first PLMN being in a disaster condition;

providing a disaster roaming service to the UE;

determining that the disaster condition in the first PLMN is over;

transmitting, to the UE, an indication, based on the disaster condition in the first PLMN being over;

performing a deregistration procedure with the second PLMN UE, based on the disaster condition in the first PLMN being over.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the indication includes information to cancel the connection with the second PLMN and to access the first PLMN and to perform a registration procedure with the first PLMN.

11. The method of claim 9 , wherein the indication includes information that an emergency state of the first PLMN ended.

12. The method of claim 9 , wherein the deregistration procedure comprises:

receiving a deregistration request message from the UE; and

transmitting a deregistration accept message to the UE.

13. The method of claim 9 ,

wherein the indication includes information on an end time of service by the second PLMN,

wherein the second PLMN does not provide service to the UE, after the end time.

14. The method of claim 9 , wherein the first message is received through an SIB (System Information Block).

15. The method of claim 9 , further comprising:

transmitting a request message to maintain connection to a specific application server, before the deregistration procedure.

16. A device performing wireless communication, comprising:

at least one transceiver;

at least one processor;

wherein the at least one processor is configured to perform operations, comprising:

registering with a second Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) and receiving a disaster roaming service from the second PLMN, based on a first PLMN being in a disaster condition;

receiving, from the second PLMN, an indication based on the disaster condition in the first PLMN being over;

performing a deregistration procedure with the second PLMN, based on the indication;

selecting the first PLMN; and

performing a registration procedure with the first PLMN.

17. The device of claim 16 , wherein the indication includes information to cancel the connection with the second PLMN and to access the first PLMN and to perform a registration procedure with the first PLMN.

18. The device of claim 16 , wherein the indication includes information that an emergency state of the first PLMN ended.

19. The device of claim 16 , wherein the deregistration procedure comprises:

transmitting a deregistration request message, by the processor, to an Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF) of the second PLMN through the base station of the second PLMN; and

receiving a deregistration accept message, by the processor, from the AMF of the second PLMN through the base station of the second PLMN.

20. The device of claim 16 , wherein the registration procedure comprises:

transmitting a registration request message, by the processor, to an AMF of the first PLMN through a base station of the first PLMN;

receiving a registration accept message, by the processor, from the AMF of the first PLMN through the base station of the first PLMN.
