A communication method is provided for performance by a first network function entity. The communication method includes determining a service zone ID, transmitting information including the service zone ID to a second network function entity, where the service zone ID is used for the second network function entity to select a service producer instance from a service producer.

A method for a UE to perform public land mobile network (PLMN) selection associated with ProSe direct communication in a wireless communication system according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: selecting a PLMN; and registering with the PLMN, wherein the UE performs ProSe direct communication in the selected PLMN without executing PLMN selection any more, even if the UE fails to register with the selected PLMN, wherein ProSe direct communication in the selected PLMN is performed in a limited service state, wherein the UE is in the limited service state when the UE has not discovered a suitable cell, when the UE receives “PLMN not allowed” or when the UE receives “GPRS not allowed”.

One embodiment of the present invention relates to a method whereby a terminal performs an operation related to public land mobile network (PLMN) selection related to ProSe direct communication in a wireless communication system, the method for performing an operation related to PLMN selection comprising the steps of: selecting a first PLMN; performing registration with the first PLMN; and selecting a second PLMN in case of failure to register with the first PLMN, wherein when selecting the second PLMN, the terminal treats a list that did not include the first PLMN at the time of selecting the first PLMN as if the list has included the first PLMN.

A wireless communication recovery method and a corresponding communication device are described. In the wireless communication recovery method, a connection failure of a radio access technology (RAT) is detected. Further, the detected connection failure is categorized based on a network level at which the connection failure has occurred. The RAT at the corresponding network level is then disabled for a time period based on the categorization of the connection failure and service in the RAT is recovered based on thresholds for the categorized failure levels.

Integration of a land mobile radio (LMR) communications system and other wireless IP based systems such as LTE by way of a virtual router and virtual base stations. The LMR system may be either trunked or conventional. The virtual router maintains LMR IDs and also IP addresses for both physical and virtual base stations, multi bearer terminals and other components of the integrated system. Physical LMR base stations form a physical network. Virtual LMR base stations form a virtual network. These physical and virtual LMR networks communicate using ISSI, AIS or DFSI for example.

A network apparatus includes: a receiver configured to receive, from a base station, information relating to a cell on which a predetermined user terminal camps or a base station; a storage configured to store the information; and a controller configured to decide, based on the information, a base station to which a paging message is transmitted.

Examples described herein relate to managing communications on a first subscription and a second subscription of a multi-Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) wireless communication device via a Radio Frequency (RF) resource, including, but not limited to, tuning the RF resource away from the second subscription to the first subscription, detecting a network-set activation state of a secondary cell associated with the first subscription, and adjusting the activation state of the secondary cell based on the network-set activation state.

The present disclosure relates to a communication technique that combines a 5G communication system for supporting a data rate that is higher than that of a beyond 4G system with IoT technology, and a system thereof. The present disclosure may be applied to intelligent services on the basis of 5G communication technology and IoT related technology, such as smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car or connected car, health care, digital education, retail, security and safety related services. Disclosed is a method for causing a cellular network itself to receive provisioning of a SIM profile to make it possible to use a normal cellular network service.
