Summary:Provided herein are techniques to facilitate location-specific wireless local area network (WLAN) offload restrictions for user equipment based on wireless wide area network (WWAN) radio band(s). In at least one example, a method performed by an authentication server of a WLAN may include, for a user equipment (UE) that is connected to an NR radio band of a WWAN and is seeking to connect to the WLAN, querying a subscription element of the WWAN to obtain a location indicator and an NR radio band indicator for the UE; determining, based on the location indicator and the NR radio band indicator, whether the UE is allowed or required to offload to the WLAN; and based on determining that the UE is allowed to offload from the WWAN to the WLAN, facilitating a WLAN association response message to be sent to the UE for offloading the UE to the WLAN.
