Abstract
A method and system for steering a mobile device to a preferred network, such as a Private LTE network or a 5G network, in a scenario in which the coverage area of the preferred network overlaps the coverage area of a non-preferred network, such as a 3G or a 4G Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN). A preferred network list is provisioned into a SIM/eSIM module at the mobile device side. The mobile device periodically collects a set of values for attributes associated with a current location of the mobile device and reports the collected values to the Steering application, hosted at the network side. The Steering application detects whether the mobile device is within the coverage area of the preferred network and, if so, triggers the mobile device to perform network steering.
