Abstract
Techniques for intelligently setting a query timer value are described herein. For example, when a user equipment (UE) is connected to a visited public land mobile network (VPLMN) (e.g., when the UE is roaming), the UE can determine a distance metric based on the location of the UE's home public land mobile network (HPLMN) and the VPLMN and/or based on other factors to determine a query timer value. In some examples, the UE can input data to a machine learned model to determine the query timer value. The UE can initiate a querying application based on the query timer value to search for the HPLMN or more preferred VPLMNs. Determining a query timer value in this manner can minimize such querying application and can reduce battery usage for a UE.
