Abstract
Described herein are techniques for identifying an access network in a wireless communication system. For example, the technique may involve determining a scheme for access network identification based on a public land mobile network-identifier (PLMN-ID) and an additional identifier. The technique may involve, receiving from the access network, broadcast information comprising the PLMN-ID and the additional identifier. The technique may involve determining that the access network belongs to a class of access networks that utilizes the additional identifier. The technique may involve identifying the access network using a combination of the PLMN-ID and additional identifier based on the class of access networks and the determined scheme.
