Abstract

In a wireless communication system, a user equipment (relay UE) can request to connect to a network to transfer data to another user equipment (remote UE). Before requesting the connection, the relay UE can perform access control for determining whether an access attempt to the network is allowed. The relay UE can perform the access control by using an access class of the remote UE.

Claims (38)

1. A method for requesting, by a first UE (User Equipment), a connection to a network in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving, from a second UE, at least one of a transfer request for data of the second UE or the data;

based on receiving information informing that an access control check is performed at the second UE, transmitting a connection request without performing the access control check;

based on not receiving the information informing that the access control check is performed at the second UE, transmitting the connection request based on an access attempt to the network being allowed, as a result of performing the access control check based on an access class of the second UE; and

transmitting, to the network, a connection request based on the access attempt to the network being allowed,

wherein the first UE is located inside a coverage of the network.

2. The method according to claim 1 ,

wherein the connection request relates to an RRC (Radio Resource Control) connection request.

3. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

based on not receiving the information informing that the access control check is performed at the second UE, receiving, from the second UE, information related to the access class of the second UE.

4. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving, from the second UE, information informing whether the access control check is performed at the second UE.

5. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving, from the second UE, information informing whether the access attempt to the network is allowed.

6. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

based on a connection with the network being established, transferring the data.

7. A first UE (User Equipment) for requesting a connection to a network in a wireless communication system, the first UE comprising:

a transceiver, and

a processor that:

receives, from a second UE, at least one of a transfer request for data of the second UE or the data;

based on receiving information informing that an access control check is performed at the second UE, cause the transceiver to transmit a connection request without performing the access control check;

based on not receiving the information informing that the access control check is performed at the second UE, cause the transceiver to transmit the connection request based on an access attempt to the network being allowed, as a result of performing the access control check based on an access class of the second UE; and

cause the transceiver to transmit, to the network, a connection request based on the access attempt to the network being allowed,

wherein the first UE is located inside a coverage of the network.

8. The UE according to claim 7 ,

wherein the connection request relates to an RRC (Radio Resource Control) connection request.

9. The UE according to claim 7 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

based on not receiving the information informing that the access control check is performed at the second UE, receive information related to the access class of the second UE from the second UE.

10. The UE according to claim 7 ,

wherein the processor is further configured to receive information from the second UE informing whether the access control check is performed at the second UE.

11. The UE according to claim 7 ,

wherein the processor is further configured to receive further receives information from the second UE informing whether the access attempt to the network is allowed.

12. The UE according to claim 7 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

based on a connection with the network being established, control the transceiver to transfer the data.

13. The method according to claim 1 , wherein, in a state in which the first UE receives the information informing that the access control check is performed at the second UE,

at least one of the transfer request or the data informs whether the access attempt to the network is allowed.

14. The method according to claim 7 , wherein, in a state in which the first UE receives the information informing that the access control check is performed at the second UE,

at least one of the transfer request or the data informs whether the access attempt to the network is allowed.
