==NOTIFICATION OF DISASTER CONDITION AND ALTERNATIVE PLMNs - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18035428 titled 'NOTIFICATION OF DISASTER CONDITION AND ALTERNATIVE PLMNs

==Simplified Explanation==

The patent application describes a system and method for notifying network nodes and user devices about disaster conditions and providing alternative mobile network options. Here are the key points:

* The method involves a User Equipment (UE) responding to a disaster condition in a first mobile network (PLMN).
* If the first PLMN is not available due to the disaster, the UE determines if a second PLMN is available for disaster roaming.
* If a second PLMN is available, the UE attempts to register with it to receive service during the disaster.
* This allows the UE to be informed about the failure of its current PLMN due to a disaster and enables it to receive service from an alternative PLMN that would not be accessible under normal conditions.

Potential applications of this technology:

* Emergency response systems: The system can be used to notify emergency response teams and users about disaster conditions and provide alternative mobile network options for communication during emergencies.
* Disaster management: The technology can assist in coordinating disaster management efforts by ensuring uninterrupted communication services for first responders and affected individuals.
* Public safety: The system can enhance public safety by enabling users to quickly switch to alternative mobile networks in case of network failures during disasters.

Problems solved by this technology:

* Lack of communication during disasters: The technology addresses the issue of network failures during disasters by providing alternative mobile network options for users to stay connected.
* Limited access to services: Under normal conditions, certain PLMNs may not allow users to access their services. This technology enables users to receive service from such PLMNs during disaster situations.

Benefits of this technology:

* Improved emergency communication: The system ensures that users have access to communication services even when their primary network is unavailable.
* Enhanced disaster response: By providing alternative network options, the technology facilitates better coordination and communication among emergency response teams during disasters.
* Increased public safety: Users can quickly switch to alternative networks, ensuring that they can reach out for help or stay informed during critical situations.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

Systems and methods for enabling notification of disaster conditions and alternative Public Land Mobile Networks (PLMNs) to network nodes are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method performed by a User Equipment (UE) for responding to a disaster condition in a first PLMN, comprises determining that a first PLMN is not available; determining that a second PLMN is available for disaster roaming; and attempting to register with the second PLMN, responsive to determining that the first PLMN is not available due to the disaster condition and determining that a second PLMN is available for disaster roaming. In this way, a UE is informed of the failure of its currently used PLMN due to a disaster condition and a service may be provided in another PLMN, where the UE under normal conditions may not be allowed to receive a service from the second PLMN.
