Claims:1. A wireless device comprising:
a digital receiver and a digital transmitter; and
a controller configured to control the digital receiver to receive signals and the digital transmitter to transmit signals, and further configured to:
receive a registration rejection from a first roaming mobile network while roaming;
add the first roaming mobile network to a list of forbidden mobile networks;
register with a second roaming mobile network and receive an operator list of mobile networks from a home mobile network; and
attempt to register with the first roaming mobile network based on a ranking of mobile networks in the operator list.
, Description:Technical Field
[0001] Various embodiments relate generally to methods and devices for network selection with steering of roaming list.

Background
[0002] When traveling outside of their home mobile network’s coverage area, many terminal devices use roaming to connect to and register with a roaming mobile network. Once the terminal device is registered, it may use the roaming mobile network to perform standard operations like establishing data connections and making voice calls. This can be particularly advantageous, for example, when users travel to foreign countries and use their terminal devices for international roaming.

Brief Description of the Drawings
[0003] In the drawings, like reference characters generally refer to the same parts throughout the different views. The drawings are not necessarily to scale, emphasis instead generally being placed upon illustrating the principles of the invention. In the following description, various embodiments of the invention are described with reference to the following drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 shows an exemplary radio communication network according to some aspects;
FIG. 2 shows an exemplary internal configuration of a terminal device according to some aspects;
FIG. 3 shows an exemplary internal configuration of a terminal device configured to perform network selection based on an operator list according to some aspects;
FIG. 4 shows an exemplary message sequence chart where a terminal device overrules a forbidden list when selecting a roaming mobile network according to some aspects;
FIG. 5 shows an exemplary message sequence chart where a terminal device overrules a forbidden list after a periodic mobile network scan according to some aspects;
FIG. 6 shows an exemplary flow chart for a use case where a user uses a terminal device for international roaming according to some aspects; and
FIG. 7 shows an exemplary method of performing wireless communications at a wireless device according to some aspects.
