1. A method of operating Long Term Evolution (LTE) User Equipment (UE) to use different Mobility Management Entities (MMEs), the method comprising:
- receiving MME selection data into the UE and processing the MME selection data to select one of the MMEs;
wirelessly transferring an LTE attachment request to an LTE access point and indicating the selected one of the MMEs in the LTE attachment request; and
wirelessly receiving an attachment acceptance from the selected one of the MMEs through the LTE access point responsive to indicating the selected one of the MMEs in the LTE attachment request.

Abstract
In a Long Term Evolution (LTE) communication system, a User Equipment (UE) receives Mobility Management Entity (MME) selection data. The UE processes the MME selection data to select one of multiple MMEs. The UE wirelessly transfers an LTE attachment request to an LTE access point. The LTE attachment request indicates the selected MME. The UE wirelessly receives an attachment acceptance from the selected MME through the LTE access point in response to selecting and indicating the MME in the LTE attachment request.
