Abstract

In an aspect of the disclosure, a method, a computer-readable medium, and an apparatus are provided. The apparatus may be a UE. In certain configurations, the UE maintains a closed access group (CAG) information list including an entry. The entry includes an allowed CAG list associated with a current PLMN. The allowed CAG list includes one or more CAG IDs. A first CAG ID is configured with a first time validity information including a first time period. The UE accesses the current PLMN via a current CAG cell supporting the first CAG ID when the first CAG ID is determined as authorized during the first time period. After the first time period, the UE determines that no CAG ID supported by the current CAG cell is currently authorized. The UE determines whether the UE may perform actions such as search for a suitable cell and/or applying a PLMN selection process.
