Description

[0001] Cross-referencing This disclosure claims priority to Indian Patent Application No. 202321061963 (filed on September 14, 2023), the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field

[0002] This disclosure generally relates to mobile communications, and more specifically, to the selection order of standalone non-public network (SNPN) for localized services used in mobile communications for user reselection procedures. Background Technology

[0003] In current 3GPP (Generation Partnership Project) specifications for wireless communications (e.g., mobile communications), users can request their mobile station (MS) (or user equipment (UE)) to initiate a reselection and registration with an available standalone non-public network (SNPN) at any time, depending on the SNPN selection mode of the UE. The previously selected SNPN refers to the SNPN selected by the mobile station before the user reselection process began. However, the SNPN selection used for localization services during the user reselection process is not yet defined. Therefore, there is an urgent need to propose a solution for the SNPN selection sequence for localization services during the user reselection process in mobile communications. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The following abstract is for illustrative purposes only and is not intended to be limiting in any way. That is, the following abstract aims to introduce the concepts, key points, benefits, and advantages of the novel and non-obvious techniques described herein. Detailed descriptions of specific embodiments will follow. Therefore, the following abstract is not intended to identify the essential features of the claimed subject matter, nor is it intended to determine the scope of the claimed subject matter.

[0005] The objective of this disclosure is to propose solutions or strategies to address the problems described herein. More specifically, the various solutions proposed in this disclosure are believed to provide solutions for the localization of user reselection procedures in mobile communications, specifically for independent, non-public network selection ordering. It is believed that implementations of one or more solutions proposed in this disclosure can solve or mitigate the aforementioned problems.

[0006] In one aspect, a method can involve a user equipment (UE) initiating reselection and registering to an available standalone non-public network (SNPN) for accessing one or more localized services.

[0013] Detailed embodiments and implementations of the present application claims are disclosed herein. However, it is to be understood that the disclosed embodiments and implementations are merely for the purpose of illustrating the subject matter of the present application claims, and can be implemented in various forms. The present disclosure can take many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the exemplary embodiments and implementations set forth herein. Rather, these exemplary embodiments and implementations are intended to be illustrative of the disclosure, and to provide a complete disclosure of the scope of the present disclosure. In the following description, well-known features and techniques can be omitted for the sake of not unnecessarily obscuring the presented embodiments and implementations.

[0014] SUMMARY According to implementations of the present disclosure, various techniques, methods, schemes, and / or solutions related to an independent non-public network selection order for localized services in a user reselection procedure in mobile communications are involved. According to the present disclosure, a plurality of possible solutions can be implemented separately or jointly. That is, although these possible solutions are described separately in the following, two or more possible solutions can be implemented in some combination.

[0015] Figure 1 An example network environment 100 in which various solutions and schemes of the present disclosure can be implemented is shown. Figures 2 to 3 Implementation examples of various proposed schemes in the network environment 100 according to the present disclosure are shown. The following description of various proposed schemes refers to the Figures 1 to 3 .

[0016] Referring to Figure 1The network environment 100 can involve a user equipment (UE) 110, such as a mobile device or smartphone, in wireless communication with a wireless network 120 as part of a communication network. The wireless network 120 can be a public land mobile network (PLMN) that includes a 5G / New Radio (NR) domain and a 4G / Long Term Evolution (LTE) domain. The user equipment 110 can initially be in wireless communication with the wireless network 120 through a base station or network node 125, such as an eNB, gNB, or transmission-reception point (TRP). In the network environment 100, the user equipment 110 and the wireless network 120 can implement various aspects of the independent non-public network selection order for localized services related to the present disclosure for user reselection procedures in mobile communications, as described herein.

[0017] Notably, while various proposed aspects can be described below separately or individually, in actual implementations some or all of the proposed aspects can be used or implemented jointly. Of course, each proposed aspect can also be used or implemented separately or individually. Further, as described herein, lower layers can refer to layers below the radio resource control (RRC) layer in a 5G mobile management (5GMM) protocol stack, such as the packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) layer, the radio link control (RLC) layer, the medium access control (MAC) layer, the physical (PHY) layer, etc.

[0018] According to a first proposal of the present disclosure, when a user requests the user equipment 110 to initiate reselection and register to an available standalone non-public network for accessing localized services, the user equipment 110 can use the following order for standalone non-public network selection for user reselection. First, in case the user equipment 110 supports access to a standalone non-public network providing localized services and access to localized services is enabled in this standalone non-public network, the user equipment 110 can use the standalone non-public network selection parameters for accessing localized services in this standalone non-public network in the selected entries of the “subscriber data list” or associated with the selected public land mobile network subscription: (1) the standalone non-public network the user equipment 110 last registered to, selected by an entry of the following list of entries (2) and / or (3), if the validity information of this entry still holds, and / or excluding previously selected standalone non-public networks; and / or (2) the standalone non-public networks identified in priority order by the standalone non-public network identities included in an entry of the “list of priority standalone non-public networks controlled by the credential holder for accessing localized services in standalone non-public networks”, if the validity information of this entry holds, and / or excluding previously selected standalone non-public networks; and / or (3) the standalone non-public networks broadcast a network selection group identity (GIN) that is included in an entry of the “list of priority network selection group identities controlled by the credential holder for accessing localized services in standalone non-public networks” in priority order, if the validity information of this entry holds. If there are multiple such standalone non-public networks broadcasting the same network selection group identity, the order in which the user equipment 110 attempts to register on these standalone non-public networks is user equipment implementation specific, excluding previously selected standalone non-public networks. Second, alternatively or in addition, the standalone non-public network the user equipment 110 last registered to or an equivalent standalone non-public network, unless this registered standalone non-public network is selected by an entry of the list of entries (2) or (3) above and the validity information of this entry no longer holds or access to localized services is no longer enabled in the standalone non-public network.

[0019] According to a second proposal of the present disclosure, in the following cases: (i) the user requests the user equipment 110 to initiate reselection and registration to an available standalone non-public network; and / or (ii) there is at least one entry in the "subscriber data list"; and / or (iii) there are zero, one or more entries in the "subscriber data list", the user equipment 110 has a universal subscriber identity module (USIM) and a public land mobile network subscription, and the user equipment 110 is configured with standalone non-public network selection parameters associated with the public land mobile network subscription, then the user equipment 110 can select one entry in the "subscriber data list" or the public land mobile network subscription (if any) according to the following order for automatic standalone non-public network selection (if available and allowed).

[0020] When the user equipment 110 supports access to standalone non-public networks providing localized services and / or is enabled for access to localized services in the standalone non-public networks, the user equipment 110 can use the standalone non-public network selection parameters for access to localized services in the standalone non-public networks in the selected entry of the "subscriber data list" or associated with the selected public land mobile network subscription: (1) the standalone non-public networks identified in priority order by the standalone non-public network identities included in the entry of "credential holder controlled prioritized standalone non-public network list for accessing localized services in standalone non-public networks" that each broadcast an indication that access is supported using the credentials of the credential holder, and / or if the validity information of the entry is satisfied, and / or excluding previously selected standalone non-public networks; and / or (2) the standalone non-public networks in priority order broadcast a network selection group identity that is included in the entry of "credential holder controlled prioritized network selection group identity list for accessing localized services in standalone non-public networks" that each broadcast an indication that access is supported using the credentials of the credential holder, if the validity information of the entry is satisfied, and / or excluding previously selected standalone non-public networks. If there are multiple such standalone non-public networks broadcasting the same network selection group identity, the order in which the mobile station attempts to register on these standalone non-public networks is mobile station / user equipment implementation specific.

The apparatus 210 and the apparatus 220 can perform various functions to implement the schemes, techniques, procedures, and methods described herein related to the order of standalone non-public network selection for localized services in user reselection procedures in mobile communications, including the various proposed designs, concepts, schemes, systems, and methods described above, including the network environment 100, and the procedures described below.

[0027] Each of apparatus 210 and apparatus 220 can be a communication entity capable of communicating using various aspects presented by the present disclosure. For illustrative purposes and not limitation, the following describes the capabilities of apparatus 210 as a user equipment (e.g., user equipment 110) and apparatus 220 as a network node (e.g., network node 125) in a network (e.g., wireless network 120 as a 5G / NR mobile network) in the context of example flow 300.

[0028] Example Flow Figure 3An example flow 300 according to an embodiment of this disclosure is illustrated. Flow 300 may represent one aspect of implementing the various designs, concepts, schemes, systems, and methods proposed above. More specifically, flow 300 may represent one aspect of a concept and scheme relating to a localized service involving a user reselection process in mobile communications, related to this disclosure, concerning an independent, non-public network selection order. Flow 300 may include one or more operations, actions, or functions, as shown in flow blocks 310 and 320. Although shown in discrete block form, the individual blocks of flow 300 may be split into more blocks, merged into fewer blocks, or omitted according to desired implementation. Furthermore, the blocks / sub-blocks of flow 300 may be arranged according to... Figure 3 The process can be executed in the order shown, or in a different order. Furthermore, one or more blocks / sub-blocks of process 300 can be executed repeatedly or iteratively. Process 300 can be implemented by devices 210 and 220 and any variations thereof. For illustrative purposes only and without limitation, process 300 is described below in the context of device 210 as a user equipment (e.g., user equipment 110) and device 220 as a communication entity (e.g., network node 125 as a network node or base station) within a network (e.g., wireless network 120). Process 300 may begin with block 310.

[0029] At 310, process 300 may involve the processor 212 of device 210 initiating a reselection and registration via transceiver 216 to an available independent, non-public network to access one or more localized services. Process 300 can continue from 310 to 320.

[0030] At 320, process 300 may involve the processor 212 of device 210 performing an independent non-public network selection via transceiver 216 to sequentially reselect users. Device 210, as a user equipment, may support access to an independent non-public network providing one or more localized services, and enable access to those one or more localized services within that independent non-public network.

[0031] In some implementations, when performing a standalone non-public network selection, process 300 may involve processor 212 using one or more standalone non-public network selection parameters to perform a standalone non-public network selection to access one or more localized services in the standalone non-public network, in connection with a selected entry in the subscriber data list or in association with a selected public land mobile network (PLMN) subscription.

[0032] In certain embodiments, when performing independent non-public network selection in sequence for user reselection, the process 300 can involve the processor 212 first considering an independent non-public network identified in a priority order by the independent non-public network identities included in the entry of "Credentialed Controller Controlled Priority Independent Non-Public Network List for Accessing Localized Services in Independent Non-Public Networks" that supports access using the credentials of the credential holder, and broadcasted by each broadcasted indication, if the validity information of the entry is satisfied, excluding a previously selected independent non-public network. Next, the process 300 can involve the processor 212 considering an independent non-public network identified in a priority order by the network selection group identities included in the entry of "Credentialed Controller Controlled Priority Network Selection Group Identity List for Accessing Localized Services in Independent Non-Public Networks" that supports access using the credentials of the credential holder, and broadcasted by each broadcasted indication, if the validity information of the entry is satisfied, excluding the previously selected independent non-public network.

[0033] In certain embodiments, the order in which a user equipment attempts to register on multiple independent non-public networks in response to the multiple independent non-public networks broadcasting the same network selection group identity can be user equipment implementation specific.

[0034] Additional Description The herein described subject matter sometimes illustrates different components contained within, or connected with, different other components. It is to be understood that such depicted architectures are merely examples, and that in fact many other architectures can be implemented which achieve the same functionality. In a conceptual sense, any arrangement of components to achieve the same functionality is effectively "associated" such that the desired functionality is achieved. Hence, any two components herein combined to achieve a particular functionality can be seen as "associated with" each other such that the desired functionality is achieved, irrespective of architectures or intermediate components. Likewise, any two components so associated can also be viewed as being "operably connected", or "operably coupled", to each other to achieve the desired functionality, and any two components capable of being so associated can also be viewed as being "operably couplable", to each other to achieve the desired functionality. Specific examples of operably couplable include but are not limited to physically mateable and / or physically interacting components and / or wirelessly interactable and / or wirelessly interacting components and / or logically interacting and / or logically interactable components.

[0035] Furthermore, to the extent that the terms "comprises", "comprising", "including", "includes", "containing", "contains" or variants thereof are used in either the detailed description or the claims, such terms are intended to be inclusive in a manner similar to the term "comprising" as an open transition term without precluding any additional or other elements.

[0036] Furthermore, those skilled in the art will understand that the terms used herein, particularly in appendix claims, such as the body of an appendix claim, are generally considered "open" terms. For example, the word "comprising" should be interpreted as "comprising but not limited to," the word "having" should be interpreted as "having at least," and the word "including" should be interpreted as "including but not limited to," etc. Those skilled in the art will also understand that if the specific number of elements introduced in the claim is expressly stated in the claim, then that intention is expressly stated in the claim; if no such statement is made, then that intention does not exist. For example, for ease of understanding, the following appendix claims may contain the introductory phrases "at least one" and "one or more" to introduce claim elements. However, the use of such phrases should not be interpreted as limiting any particular claim containing such an introductory element to containing only one such element, even if the same claim contains the introductory phrases "one or more" or "at least one" and indefinite articles such as "one" or "a," for example, "one" and / or "a" should be interpreted as "at least one" or "one or more"; the same applies to definite articles used to introduce claim elements. Furthermore, even when the specific number of elements incorporating a claim is explicitly stated, those skilled in the art will recognize that such a statement should be interpreted as at least the stated number. For example, stating only "two elements" without any other modifiers implies at least two elements, or two or more elements. Additionally, when using conventions such as "at least one A, B, and C, etc.", such structures are generally intended for those skilled in the art to understand the meaning of the convention. For example, "a system having at least one A, B, and C" includes, but is not limited to, systems having only A, only B, only C, both A and B, both A and C, both B and C, and systems having both A, B, and C, etc. Similarly, when using conventions such as "at least one A, B, or C, etc.", such structures are generally intended for those skilled in the art to understand the meaning of the convention. For example, "a system having at least one A, B, or C" includes, but is not limited to, systems having only A, only B, only C, both A and B, both A and C, both B and C, and systems having both A, B, and C, etc. Those skilled in the art will also understand that almost all extractive terms and / or phrases presenting two or more alternative terms, whether in the specification, claims, or drawings, should be understood to include the possibility of including only one term, either term, or both terms simultaneously. For example, the phrase "A or B" should be understood to include the possibility of including "A" or "B" or "A and B".

[0037] From the above, it will be understood that the various embodiments of the present disclosure have been described for the purpose of illustration, and that various changes in the details can be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the scope and spirit of the present disclosure. Accordingly, the various embodiments disclosed herein are not intended to be limiting, the true scope and spirit of which are to be accorded the full scope of the claims below.
