Abstract

Provided are: a terminal apparatus that can support establishment of sessions that connect to various DNs; a measure for communication control that is preferable for an apparatus on a network that can connect to the terminal apparatus; a measure for communication control for recognizing the types of DNs with which the sessions are connected; and a measure for communication control for achieving user data communication. With this configuration, the preferable measures for communication control and measures for achieving user data communication can be provided to a control apparatus and a terminal apparatus included in a communication system that supports the establishment of sessions that connect to various DNs.

Claims (36)

1. A User Equipment (UE) comprising:

transmission and/or reception circuitry configured to receive a first Data Network Name (DNN) corresponding to a Data Network (DN) in a Registration Accept message in a Registration procedure; and

a memory configured to:

store the first DNN; and

update the first DNN to a second DNN in a case that the transmission and/or reception circuitry further receives the second DNN in a network initiated update procedure.

2. The UE according to claim 1 , wherein

the transmission and/or reception circuitry is further configured to transmit, to an Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF), a Non-Access-Stratum (NAS) message including the second DNN in a Protocol Data Unit (PDU) Session Establishment procedure, in order to establish a PDU Session.

3. The UE according to claim 2 , wherein the DN is a Local DN or a DN that is accessible by the UE only in specific locations.

4. The UE according to claim 1 , wherein the DN is a Local DN or a DN that is accessible by the UE only in specific locations.

5. A User Equipment (UE) comprising:

transmission and/or reception circuitry; and

control circuitry,

wherein

in a Protocol Data Unit (PDU) Session Establishment procedure, the transmission and/or reception circuitry is configured to:

transmit, to an Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF), a Non-Access-Stratum (NAS) message including a PDU session establishment request message and a Data Network Name (DNN) corresponding to a Data Network (DN); and

receive a PDU session establishment reject message including a first information, and

the transmission and/or reception circuitry is configured not to send another PDU session establishment request message for the DNN during the PDU Session Establishment procedure based on the reception of the first information.

6. The UE according to claim 5 , wherein the first information is information indicating that connecting to the DN is prohibited in a Tracking Area (TA) to which the UE is connected.

7. The UE according to claim 6 , wherein the DN is a Local DN or a DN that is accessible by the UE only in specific locations.

8. The UE according to claim 5 , wherein the DN is a Local DN or a DN that is accessible by the UE only in specific locations.

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

receiving a first Data Network Name (DNN) corresponding to a Data Network (DN) in a Registration Accept message in a Registration procedure;

storing the first DNN; and

updating the first DNN to a second DNN in a case that the transmission and/or reception circuitry further receives the second DNN in a network initiated update procedure.

10. The communication control method according to claim 9 , the communication control method further comprising:

transmitting, to an Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF), a Non-Access-Stratum (NAS) message including the second DNN in a Protocol Data Unit (PDU) Session Establishment procedure, in order to establish a PDU Session.

11. The communication control method according to claim 10 , wherein the DN is a Local DN or a DN that is accessible by the UE only in specific locations.

12. The communication control method according to claim 9 , wherein the DN is a Local DN or a DN that is accessible by the UE only in specific locations.

13. 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, to an Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF), a Non-Access-Stratum (NAS) message including a PDU session establishment request message and a Data Network Name (DNN) corresponding to a Data Network (DN); and

receiving a PDU session establishment reject message including a first information, and

not sending another PDU session establishment request message for the DNN during the PDU Session Establishment procedure based on the reception of the first information.

14. The communication control method according to claim 13 , wherein the first information is information indicating that connecting to the DN is prohibited in a Tracking Area (TA) to which the UE is connected.

15. The communication control method according to claim 14 , wherein the DN is a Local DN or a DN that is accessible by the UE only in specific locations.

16. The communication control method according to claim 13 , wherein the DN is a Local DN or a DN that is accessible by the UE only in specific locations.
