1. A method, operable on a user equipment device, for network selection, the method comprising:
- registering on a first network, wherein the first network is a wide area cellular network (WACN);
receiving, from a wireless local area network (WLAN) different from the first network, a list of WACNs that support generic access network (GAN) capabilities, wherein each WACN in the list is connected to the WLAN,wherein an indication that the WLAN supports the GAN capabilities is stored on the user equipment device; and
selecting the WLAN if the first network is on the list received from the WLAN.

Abstract
A method for network selection on a user equipment (UE) device and the UE device are shown. The user equipment device registers on a first network in a wide area cellular network (WACN) band and receives, from a wireless local area network (WLAN), a list of WACNs that support generic access network (GAN) capabilities. The user equipment device selects the WLAN if the first network is on the list.
