Section: 6.3.12a Access Network selection for devices that do not support 5GC NAS over WLAN 6.3.12a.1 General
Content: As specified in clause 4.2.8.5, devices that do not support 5GC NAS signalling over WLAN access (referred to as "Non-5G-Capable over WLAN" devices, or N5CW devices for short), may access 5GC in a PLMN or an SNPN via a trusted WLAN access network that supports a TWIF function. The following clause specifies (a) how a N5CW device selects a PLMN and (b) how it selects a trusted WLAN access network that can provide "5G connectivity-without-NAS" to the selected PLMN. This selection procedure is called access network selection. NOTE: For N5CW device accessing an SNPN refer to clause 5.30.2.15. Each WLAN access network that provides "5G connectivity-without-NAS" advertises with ANQP a list of PLMNs with which "5G connectivity-without-NAS" is supported. This list is called PLMN List-4, and is different from the PLMN List-1, PLMN List-2 and PLMN List-3 defined in clause 6.3.12. A WLAN advertises the PLMN List-4, when the WLAN supports a TWIF function.
