1. A device, comprising:
one or more processors configured to:
receive an indication that the device is not authorized to access a first type of core network;
detect that a first core network, of the first type of core network, is available for communication, wherein detecting that the first and second core networks are available for communication includes wirelessly detecting a presence of one or more base stations that are communicatively coupled to the first and second core networks, wherein the one or more base stations include:
a first base station that is communicatively coupled to the first core network, and
a second base station that is communicatively coupled to the first base station and the second core network, wherein the first base station communicates with the second core network via the second base station;
detect that a second core network, of a second type of core network, is available for communication; and
request, based on the indication that the device is not authorized to access the first type of core network, establishment of a communication session with the second core network.
