FLEXIBLE RADIO ACCESS TECHNOLOGY SELECTION POLICY FOR 5G MOBILE COMMUNICATIONS

摘要

Examples pertaining to flexible radio access technology (RAT) selection for 5^th Generation (5G) mobile communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive, from a network node of a wireless network, information related to a RAT preference with respect to RAT selection by the UE. Based at least in part on the received information, the UE may perform a RAT or Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) selection procedure. Alternatively, or additionally, the UE may receive, from the network node, information related to ability of one or more neighbor network nodes of one or more RATs in a region. Based at least in part on the received information, the UE may select one of the one or more RATs or one of the one or more neighbor network nodes.
