Claim 13:
14. A method to be performed at a processing circuitry of a User Equipment (UE) device, the method comprising:
obtaining information broadcast by a radio access network (RAN) node of a particular non-public network (NPN), the information comprising a NPN indicator indicating that the RAN node supports a NPN and NPN service information indicating services supported by the particular NPN; and
establishing, in response to detection of the NPN indicator in the information broadcast by the RAN node, a connection to the particular NPN based on the NPN service information and NPN configuration information for the UE device indicating support for the particular NPN, wherein the NPN indicator is a reserved public land mobile network identifier (PLMN-ID) for use by any RAN node to indicate that the RAN node supports a NPN.
