Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a method and corresponding system for controlling how a user equipment device (UE) is served by a second network while the UE is concurrently served by a base station of a first network, where the first network has an interconnection with the second network. In an example method, if the UE determines that the base station serving the UE is not a relay base station, the UE then causes itself to be served by the second network in a first mode in which the UE is registered with the second network via the first network. Whereas, if the UE determines that the base station is a relay base station, the UE then instead causes itself to be served by the second network in a second mode in which the UE is registered with the second network directly via the second network rather than via the first network.
