Information processing apparatus, information processing method, and computer readable medium
To enable a user terminal to appropriately switch a connection between a public network and a non-public network. There is provided an information processing apparatus including: a receiving unit that receives information indicating that a user terminal, which is located in a base station of a public network and connected to the public network in such a way as to be capable of data communication, is located in a base station of a non-public network; and a control unit that controls, based on contract information of the user terminal, to disconnect data communication in the public network and transmit information for connecting data communication in the non-public network.
1 . An information processing apparatus comprising:
a memory storing instructions; and
at least one processor configured to execute the instructions to:
receive information indicating that a user terminal is located within a cell of a base station of a non-public network, the user terminal being located within a cell of a base station of a public network and connected to the public network in such a way as to be capable of data communication; and
disconnect, based on contract information of the user terminal, data communication in the public network and transmit information for connecting data communication in the non-public network, wherein
the contract information comprises information indicating whether an approval operation of a user of the user terminal is necessary when the user terminal is out of range of a base station of the non-public network and reconnects data communication of the public network.
2 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein
the non-public network is a local 5th-generation mobile communication system (5G) network, and
the information processing apparatus is an access and mobility management function (AMF) node.
3 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the contract information comprises information indicating at least one of a data network name (DNN) or a tracking area of the non-public network that prioritizes connecting data communication over the public network.
4 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is configured to execute the instructions to:
transmit information for disconnecting data communication in the public network to an apparatus of the public network while maintaining a connection of a session of a voice call in the public network.
5 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the contract information comprises information indicating whether a second approval operation of the user of the user terminal is necessary when the non-public network that prioritizes connection of data communication over the public network is connected.
6 . An information processing method comprising:
receiving information indicating that a user terminal is located within a cell of a base station of a non-public network, the user terminal being located within a cell of a base station of a public network and connected to the public network in such a way as to be capable of data communication; and
disconnecting data communication in the public network and transmit information for connecting data communication in the non-public network, based on contract information of the user terminal, wherein
the contract information comprises information indicating whether an approval operation of a user of the user terminal is necessary when the user terminal is out of range of a base station of the non-public network and reconnects data communication of the public network.
7 . A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program that causes a computer to execute processing of:
receiving information indicating that a user terminal is located within a cell of a base station of a non-public network, the user terminal being located within a cell of a base station of a public network and connected to the public network in such a way as to be capable of data communication; and
disconnecting data communication in the public network and transmit information for connecting data communication in the non-public network, based on contract information of the user terminal, wherein
the contract information comprises information indicating whether an approval operation of a user of the user terminal is necessary when the user terminal is out of range of a base station of the non-public network and reconnects data communication of the public network.
