Abstract

Provided are, for example: a communication controller configured to establish a suitable session for a terminal apparatus and a network apparatus that are connected to a wide variety of multiple access networks; a user-data communication controller that is suitable for a terminal apparatus and a network apparatus establishing a session via multiple access networks. Hence, the NextGen has studied the optimization of session management for the mobile communication service between a terminal apparatus and a network apparatus. Provided is a communication controller suitable for a terminal apparatus and network apparatus supporting the connection to a wide variety of multiple access networks.

Claims (44)

1. A User Equipment (UE) comprising:

transmission and reception circuitry configured for:

in a Protocol Data Unit (PDU) session establishment procedure, transmitting a PDU session establishment request message, to a core network; and

receiving a PDU session establishment accept message including at least a PDU session type, from the core network; and

a controller configured for:

in a case that the PDU session type is IPv6 or IPv4v6, and the PDU session establishment request message includes information indicating support of a Multi-homed PDU session using IPv6,

establishing a PDU session to use multiple IPv6 prefixes during the PDU session establishment procedure.

2. The UE according to claim 1 , wherein

the PDU session establishment request message further includes information indicating IPv6 or IPv4v6.

3. The UE according to claim 2 , wherein

the PDU session establishment request message further includes information indicating a Session and Service Continuity (SSC) mode.

4. The UE according to claim 1 , wherein

the PDU session establishment request message further includes information indicating a Session and Service Continuity (SSC) mode.

5. A communication control method performed by a User Equipment (UE), the communication control method comprising:

in a Protocol Data Unit (PDU) session establishment procedure, transmitting a PDU session establishment request message, to a core network; and

receiving a PDU session establishment accept message including at least a PDU session type, from the core network; and

in a case that the PDU session type is IPv6 or IPv4v6, and the PDU session establishment request message includes information indicating support of a Multi-homed PDU session using IPv6, establishing a PDU session supported to use multiple IPv6 prefixes during the PDU session establishment procedure.

6. The communication control method according to claim 5 , wherein

the PDU session establishment request message further includes information indicating a IPv6 or IPv4v6.

7. The communication control method according to claim 6 , wherein

the PDU session establishment request message further includes information indicating a Session and Service Continuity (SSC) mode.

8. The communication control method according to claim 5 , wherein

the PDU session establishment request message further includes information indicating a Session and Service Continuity (SSC) mode.

9. A core network device comprising: transmission and reception circuitry configured for:

in a Protocol Data Unit (PDU) session establishment procedure, receiving a PDU session establishment request message, from a User Equipment (UE); and

transmitting a PDU session establishment accept message including at least a PDU session type, to the UE; and

a controller configured for:

in a case that the PDU session type is IPv6 or IPv4v6, and the PDU session establishment request message includes information indicating support of Multi-homed PDU session using IPv6, establishing a PDU session to use multiple IPv6 prefixes during the PDU session establishment procedure.

10. The core network device according to claim 9 , wherein

the PDU session establishment request message further includes information indicating IPv6 or IPv4v6.

11. The core network device according to claim 10 , wherein

the PDU session establishment request message further includes information indicating a Session and Service Continuity (SSC) mode.

12. The core network device according to claim 9 , wherein

the PDU session establishment request message further includes information indicating a Session and Service Continuity (SSC) mode.

13. A communication control method performed by a core network device, the communication control method comprising:

in a Protocol Data Unit (PDU) session establishment procedure, receiving a PDU session establishment request message, from a User Equipment (UE); and

transmitting a PDU session establishment accept message including at least a PDU session type, to the UE; and

in a case that the PDU session type is IPv6 or IPv4v6, and the PDU session establishment request message includes information indicating support of a Multi-homed PDU session using IPv6, establishing a PDU session to use multiple IPv6 prefixes during the PDU session establishment procedure.

14. The communication control method according to claim 13 , wherein

the PDU session establishment request message further includes information indicating IPv6 or IPv4v6.

15. The communication control method according to claim 14 , wherein

the PDU session establishment request message further includes information indicating a Session and Service Continuity (SSC) mode.

16. The communication control method according to claim 13 , wherein

the PDU session establishment request message further includes information indicating a Session and Service Continuity (SSC) mode.
