Abstract
A method implemented in a user equipment (UE) for establishing reattachment to a first network includes establishing a data connection to a second network. The method further includes detecting a detachment from the first network. The method further includes entering a conditional state after detecting the detachment from the first network. After entering the conditional state, the method further includes monitoring one or more broadcast transmissions from a network node, extracting broadcast data included in the broadcast transmissions of the first network, applying the extracted broadcast data in a predetermined rule, and if the predetermined rule is satisfied, establishing the reattachment to the first network.
