Managing UE subscription establishment

摘要

Methods, systems, and devices are described for managing user equipment (UE) subscription establishment with networks outside of a home network. A UE may determine whether it is authorized to operate in an unsubscribed state and/or to initiate a local subscription establishment procedure with a non-home network. A home network operator may authorize the UE to operate in an unsubscribed state and/or to initiate a local subscription establishment procedure at non-home networks. When authorized to do so, the UE may initiate a subscription establishment procedure.

1. A method of wireless communication, comprising:
identifying, by a user equipment (UE), an access network as a candidate for connection, wherein the access network is outside of a home public land mobile network (HPLMN) of the UE, and wherein identifying the access network as a candidate for connection comprises: determining an availability of the access network for a connection by the UE as roaming user or as an unsubscribed user; determining whether the access network supports a local subscription establishment procedure; determining that the UE is authorized to initiate the local subscription establishment procedure with the access network; and establishing, by the UE through the local subscription establishment procedure with the access network, a local subscription based at least in part on determining that the access network supports the local subscription establishment procedure and determining that the UE is authorized to initiate the local subscription establishment procedure, wherein the local subscription is different from a home subscription with the HPLMN.
