Summary:Embodiments described herein provide for a network-assisted determination by one or more User Equipment ("UEs") to connect to a licensed network (e.g., a Fifth Generation ("5G") radio access network ("RAN")) in situations where both the licensed network and one or more unlicensed networks (e.g., one or more WiFi networks) are in range of the UE. Such connection to a licensed network (e.g., in lieu of an unlicensed network) may provide for better performance and/or access to resources not otherwise accessible via an unlicensed network.
