Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.

1

1. A method for performing a non-access stratum (NAS) signaling procedure by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising: receiving a first message including information indicating network failure from a network node of a first network; starting a network selection related timer; and selecting a second network from among network candidates other than the first network while the network selection related timer is running, wherein the selecting of the second network comprises selecting at least one of a radio access technology (RAT) or a public land mobile network (PLMN) from candidates other than a RAT and a PLMN of the first network.

2

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the second network is: a same PLMN as the first network and using a different RAT from the first network, a different PLMN from the first network and using a same RAT as the first network, or a different PLMN from the first network and using a different RAT as the first network.

3

3. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising transmitting, to the network node of the first network, a second message for request of the NAS signaling procedure.

4

4. The method according to claim 3 , wherein the first message is a rejection message indicating that the NAS signaling procedure requested through the second message is not granted by a network.

5

5. The method according to claim 3 , wherein the second message corresponds to one of an attach request message, a tracking area update (TAU) request message, a routing area update (RAU) request message, or a service request message.

6

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first message corresponds to one of an attach reject message, a TAU reject message, an RAU reject message, or a service reject message.

7

7. The method according to claim 6 , further comprising setting an attempt counter to an upper bound thereof when the first message corresponds to one of the attach reject message, the TAU reject message, or the RAU reject message.

8

8. The method according to claim 7 , wherein a value of the upper bound is 5.

9

9. The method according to claim 1 , wherein an update status of the UE is set to NOT UPDATED.

10

10. The method according to claim 1 , wherein at least one of a globally unique temporary identifier (GUTI), a last visited registered tracking area identity (TAI), key set identifier (KSI) information, or a list of equivalent PLMNs is deleted.

11

11. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the UE is set to EMM-DEREGISTERED.PLMN-SEARCH state.

12

12. The method according to claim 1 , wherein, when the UE supports a A/Gb mode or an Iu mode, at least one of a packet temporary mobile subscriber identity (P-TMSI), a P-TMSI signature, a routing area identity (RAI), or a general packet radio service (GPRS) ciphering key sequence number is deleted.

13

13. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the network node is a mobile management entity (MME).

14

14. A user equipment (UE) configured to perform a non-access stratum (NAS) signaling procedure in a wireless communication system, comprising: a transmission and reception module; and a processor, wherein the processor is configured to: receive a first message including information indicating network failure from a network node of a first network via the transmission and reception module; start a network selection related timer; and select a second network from among network candidates other than the first network while the network selection related timer is running, and wherein the selecting of the second network comprises selecting at least one of a radio access technology (RAT) or a public land mobile network (PLMN) from candidates other than a RAT and a PLMN of the first network.
