Abstract

A method of a UE determining whether a current camped CAG cell is suitable and thereby entering limited service state for PNI-NPN as a hosting network is provided. When the PNI-NPN is a hosting network providing localized services, one or more allowed CAG IDs are associated with validity information per UE stored configuration, e.g., time and/or location validity criteria. Once a CAG cell is selected and camped by the UE in a PLMN, the UE needs to consider whether the current CAG cell is suitable for obtaining normal service from the PLMN. If the hosting network functionality is not enabled (by user), or if the time and/or location validity criteria associated with CAG-IDs broadcasted by the current CAG cell are not met, then the current CAG cell is not suitable. As a result, the UE enters limited service state, and triggers cell reselection or PLMN selection procedure.
