Abstract

A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) may send, to a cellular network, a registration message that includes a request for local services including a network related name. The WTRU may receive, from a cellular network based on the registration message and location information of the WTRU, a higher layer signal with information including availability of a local service in a local area of the cellular network and a tracking area. The WTRU may determine, based on the information, when the WTRU is in the local area.
