A method of wireless communication performed by a user equipment, UE, the method comprising: determining a mode in which the UE is enabled, wherein the mode is one of: a non-standalone mode, NSA, wherein the UE connects to a first set of frequencies associated with a Long Term Evolution, LTE, cell as a master cell group and connects to a second set of frequencies associated with a New Radio, NR, cell as a secondary cell group; a standalone mode, SA, wherein the UE connects to the second set of frequencies associated with the NR cell without a connection to the LTE cell; or a standalone mode and a non-standalone mode, SA and NSA, wherein the UE uses an NSA connection when available and uses an SA NR connection when NSA connection is not available; determining whether to prioritize the first set of frequencies or the second set of frequencies based at least in part on the mode in which the user equipment is enabled; performing a search for a better public land mobile network based at least in part on which set of frequencies is prioritized, said search comprising one of: searching for the first set of frequencies and not the second set of frequencies when the UE is enabled for the NSA mode; searching for the first set of frequencies and the second set of frequencies when the UE is enabled for the NSA and SA mode; searching for the first set of frequencies before the second set of frequencies when the UE is enabled for the standalone mode; and providing , for display, information identifying a list of cells for the user to select a cell, wherein when the mode is one of SA, or SA and NSA, information identifying a list of NR cells is provided before information identifying a list of LTE cells in the list. determining a mode in which the UE is enabled, wherein the mode is one of: a non-standalone mode, NSA, wherein the UE connects to a first set of frequencies associated with a Long Term Evolution, LTE, cell as a master cell group and connects to a second set of frequencies associated with a New Radio, NR, cell as a secondary cell group; a standalone mode, SA, wherein the UE connects to the second set of frequencies associated with the NR cell without a connection to the LTE cell; or a standalone mode and a non-standalone mode, SA and NSA, wherein the UE uses an NSA connection when available and uses an SA NR connection when NSA connection is not available; determining whether to prioritize the first set of frequencies or the second set of frequencies based at least in part on the mode in which the user equipment is enabled; performing a search for a better public land mobile network based at least in part on which set of frequencies is prioritized, said search comprising one of: searching for the first set of frequencies and not the second set of frequencies when the UE is enabled for the NSA mode; searching for the first set of frequencies and the second set of frequencies when the UE is enabled for the NSA and SA mode; searching for the first set of frequencies before the second set of frequencies when the UE is enabled for the standalone mode; and providing , for display, information identifying a list of cells for the user to select a cell, wherein when the mode is one of SA, or SA and NSA, information identifying a list of NR cells is provided before information identifying a list of LTE cells in the list. <EOS>
