摘要

Apparatus (48), and an associated method, for facilitating effectuation of control over when a mobile node (12) operable in a communication system (10) generates control signaling pursuant to a control procedure (62), such as a network search and selection procedure (64) or a registration procedure (66). A determiner (52) determines whether prior-sent control signals appear to have been successfully delivered to the network. If not, a selector (54) selects whether to increase a wait period prior to commencement of a subsequent control procedure, such as another network searching and selection procedure.
