Abstract

A wireless communication network serves a wireless User Equipment (UE) over a higher-priority Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) and a lower-priority PLMN. The UE switches between the higher-priority PLMN at a wireless access node and the lower-priority PLMN at another access node. A network controller detects the excessive PLMN-switching and signals the UE to avoid the higher-priority PLMN until the wireless UE returns from idle mode. The wireless access node exchanges additional communications with the wireless UE over the lower-priority PLMN until the wireless UE enters the idle mode. The wireless access node may exchange additional communications with the wireless UE over the higher-priority PLMN after the UE returns from idle mode.
