Embodiment Construction

[0014] Accordingly, the present invention advantageously provides an apparatus, and method associated therewith, that performs I-WLAN PLMN selection, wherein a wireless device selects a PLMN with which to communicate via I-WLAN means.

[0015] Through operation of embodiments of the present invention, it provides a way to perform I-WLAN PLMN selection in which EHPLMNs are identified and considered in accordance with a selection process.

[0016] In one aspect of the invention, an EHPLMN list or file is maintained in the wireless device. This list is stored e.g. in the memory of the mobile device, or in a removable memory module, e.g. (U)SIM card, R-UIM card, compact flash card, micro SD card, memory stick, etc., but Not limited to this. When the wireless device performs a scanning operation to detect and then make a selection, the EHPLMN list is accessed according to the I-WLAN PLMN selection procedure. With an I-WLAN, if a PLMN is available and also in the EHPLMN list, this...

Abstract

Apparatus, and an associated method, for selecting an EHPLMN pursuant to I-WLAN PLMN selection. An EHPLMN listing is created and maintained at user equipment. Available I-WLAN PLMNs are collected and buffered. A comparator compares entries on the EHPLMN listing and the collected identities. And, I-WLAN PLMN selection is made responsive to the comparison.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention generally relates to a method of performing I-WLAN PLMN (Internet-Wireless Local Area Network Public Land Mobile Network) selection, wherein a wireless device selects a PLMN to communicate with in an I-WLAN manner. More specifically, the present invention relates to an apparatus, and an associated method, by which I-WLAN PLMN selection is performed, wherein EHPLMNs (Equivalent Home Public Land Mobile Networks) are determined, according to considering a selection process. [0002] An EHPLMN list or file is maintained in the wireless device. When the wireless device performs a scan operation to detect and then make a selection, the EHPLMN list is queried according to the I-WLAN PLMN selection procedure. If an available I-WLAN PLMN is available and also in the EHPLMN list, a selection is made for it. And, if multiple such PLMNs are available, a further selection is made among them, either automatically or manually, according to a pr...
