ANDSF policies for WLAN and PLMN selection

摘要

In embodiments, a user equipment (UE) may be able to identify one or more access network discovery and selection function (ANDSF) policies which the UE can use to select a wireless local area network (WLAN) and/or a WLAN access point (AP) to which the UE should connect. The UE may then be able to use the identified ANDSF policy or policies to select the WLAN and/or WLAN AP prior to selection, by the UE, of a WLAN public land mobile network (PLMN) to which the UE should connect.

主权项

1. A user equipment (UE) comprising:
a network selection module to access an access network discovery and selection function (ANDSF) policy; a communication module coupled with the network selection module, the communication module to:
receive an indication of a wireless local area network (WLAN) access point (AP) of a WLAN that interworks with a visited operator of a visited public land mobile network (VPLMN) of the UE; andtransmit a request to connect the UE to the WLAN AP of the WLAN that interworks with the visited operator based at least in part on the ANDSF policy.
