Abstract
In one illustrative example, a technique for use in selecting a wireless communication network for a mobile station is described. The mobile station receives a plurality of Mobile Country Code (MCC) and Mobile Network Code (MNC) pairs corresponding to a plurality of available wireless networks. The mobile station selects and registers with an available wireless network from the plurality of available wireless networks that corresponds to a home public land mobile network (HPLMN) of a HPLMN list which identifies a plurality of HPLMNs. If none of the available wireless networks correspond to an HPLMN of the HPLMN list, the mobile station selects and registers with an available network that corresponds to a preferred PLMN of a preferred PLMN list which identifies a plurality of preferred PLMNs.
