MANAGING NETWORK RESELECTION FOR A HIGH NUMBER OF USERS

Procedures, methods, architectures, apparatuses, systems, devices, and computer program products for managing net-work reselection for a high number of users. A Wireless Transmit/Receive Unit, WTRU, generates a registration request indicating that the WTRU has been temporarily connected to a hosting network and that the WTRU requests re-registration to a home network of the WTRU, sends the registration request intended for the home network, receives from the home network a hosting network-specific congestion-related registration reject message including a hosting network specific back-off time value, waits for time corresponding to the back-off time value has elapsed, and sends a further registration request to the home network. The back-off time value is determined by the home network from a number of WRTUs susceptible to attempt re-registration and a capacity of the home network to handle simultaneous registration requests.
