Abstract

Techniques described herein provide for temporarily redirecting a user device to a partner VPLMN when a current serving VPLMN is congested. In particular, the serving network indicates to a Home Public Land Mobile Network (HPLMN) that a congestion condition has occurred so that the HPLMN can trigger redirection of UEs to a different VPLMN. In addition, a UE may inform the HPLMN about poor QoS so that the HPLMN can redirect the UE to different VPLMN. Furthermore, the HPLMN may redirect the UE to a desired VPLMN temporarily without modifying its Roaming Priority List (RPL) information in the Universal Subscriber Identity Module (USIM).
