SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PRIORITIZING NETWORK SELECTION TO ACHIEVE PLMN CONTINUITY WHEN MOVING BETWEEN NETWORKS OF DIFFERENT TYPES

摘要

Systems and methods for prioritizing network selection to achieve PLMN continuity when moving between networks of different types are provided. In network centric embodiments, the network generates a PLMN list that prioritizes networks for which PLMN continuity is possible, for example when moving from cellular to GAN or vice versa. In mobile station centric embodiments, the mobile station generates a PLMN list that prioritizes networks for which PLMN continuity is possible, for example when moving from cellular to GAN or vice versa. This can be based on the mobile station recognizing past behaviour of the networks.
