Abstract

A method for performing, by a user equipment (UE), a registration to a network in a wireless communication system is disclosed. More specifically, the UE performs a registration to a first public land mobile network (PLMN) via a first base station, receives a disaster related message indicating that a disaster roaming service is provided, checks whether the UE is provided with the disaster roaming service based on the disaster related message, selects a second PLMN providing the disaster roaming service when the UE is provided with the disaster roaming service as a result of the check, transmits a registration request message to the selected second PLMN based on the disaster related message, and receives, from the second PLMN, a response message to the registration request message.

Claims (39)

1. A method comprising:

selecting a public land mobile network (PLMN);

determining an access identity which is applicable in the PLMN;

determining whether an access attempt based on the access identity is allowed;

based on the access attempt being allowed, transmitting, to an Access and Mobility management Function (AMF), a registration request message; and

receiving, from the AMF, a registration accept message,

wherein, i) based on that there is no available PLMN except for PLMNs in a list of forbidden PLMNs and, ii) based on that disaster related information for a specific PLMN of the PLMNs in the list of forbidden PLMNs represents that the specific PLMN accepts disaster roamers:

the specific PLMN is selected, and

the access identity applicable in the specific PLMN is an access identity based on an access identity number related to a disaster roaming, among a plurality of access identity numbers related to user equipment (UE) configuration; is determined.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving a system information block including information for PLMNs related to the disaster roaming.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the disaster related information is broadcast per PLMN.

4. A user equipment (UE) comprising:

an RF module configured to transmit and receive a radio signal;

at least one processor functionally connected to the RF module; and

at least one computer memory operationally connected to the at least one processor and storing instructions, based on being executed by the at least one processor, which configure the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:

selecting a public land mobile network (PLMN);

determining an access identity which is applicable in the PLMN;

determining whether an access attempt based on the access identity is allowed;

based on the access attempt being allowed, transmitting, to an Access and Mobility management Function (AMF), a registration request message; and

receiving, from the AMF, a registration accept message,

wherein, i) based on that there is no available PLMN except for PLMNs in a list of forbidden PLMNs and, ii) based on that disaster related information for a specific PLMN of the PLMNs in the list of forbidden PLMNs represents that the specific PLMN accepts disaster roamers:

the specific PLMN is selected, and

the access identity applicable in the specific PLMN is an access identity based on an access identity number related to a disaster roaming, among a plurality of access identity numbers related to UE configuration.

5. The UE of claim 4 , further comprising:

receiving a system information block including information for PLMNs related to the disaster roaming.

6. The UE of claim 4 , wherein the disaster related information is broadcast per PLMN.

7. At least one non-transitory computer-readable media storing instructions that, based on being executed by at least one processor, perform operations comprising:

selecting a public land mobile network (PLMN);

determining an access identity which is applicable in the PLMN;

determining whether an access attempt based on the access identity is allowed;

based on the access attempt being allowed, transmitting, to an Access and Mobility management Function (AMF), a registration request message; and

receiving, from the AMF, a registration accept message,

wherein, i) based on that there is no available PLMN except for PLMNs in a list of forbidden PLMNs and, ii) based on that disaster related information for a specific PLMN of the PLMNs in the list of forbidden PLMNs represents that the specific PLMN accepts disaster roamers:

the specific PLMN is selected, and

the access identity applicable in the specific PLMN is an access identity based on an access identity number related to a disaster roaming, among a plurality of access identity numbers related to user equipment (UE) configuration.

8. The at least one non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 7 , further comprising:

receiving a system information block including information for PLMNs related to the disaster roaming.

9. The at least one non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 7 , wherein the disaster related information is broadcast per PLMN.
