Abstract
Techniques are directed toward network identification collision detection. An example method includes selecting a first subscriber identity module (SIM) associated with a public land mobile network identifier (PLMN ID) and a network identifier (NID) of a private network. The method can further include generating a first non-access stratum (NAS) registration request to establish a connection with the private network using the first SIM. The method can further include processing a NAS registration request reject message received from the private network. The method can further include selecting a second SIM associated with the PLMN ID and the NID. The method can further include generating a second NAS registration request to establish a connection with the private network using the second SIM. The method can further include processing a NAS registration request success message received from the private network. The method can further include logging NID collision information.
