Abstract:
In one or more mobile stations of a wireless communication network, a method for network node selection in a wireless communication system by a mobile entity may include receiving, from a home network, a message comprising a policy associated with network node selection, determining whether the home network policy has precedence over a policy of a visited network based on the message, and selecting a network node based on the policy of the home network, in response to determining the home network policy has precedence over the visited network policy. The policy may include at least one of mobility or routing policies. The message may include an indication of precedence between the home network and one or more visited networks. A communication apparatus, for example a mobile entity, may be configured for performing these and other aspects of the method.
