Abstract

A User Equipment (UE) transmits a registration request message to an AMF in a registration procedure to a core network, the registration request message including information indicating a request for transmission of LADN information, receives the LADN information from the AMF, performs a PDU session establishment procedure initiated by the UE to establish a first PDU session with a DN different from the LADN, and performs the PDU session establishment procedure initiated by a network to establish a second PDU session with the LADN in a case that the UE moves to an area connectable to the LADN. This provides a control method that should be performed by each apparatus constituting a 5GS for the UE to establish the session to the LADN, and a control method for allowing only the UE connectable to the LADN to establish the session to the LADN.

Claims (40)

1. A User Equipment (UE) comprising:

a controller configured to initiate a Registration procedure; and

transmission and/or reception circuitry configured to transmit, to an Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF), a Registration Request message including a first Local Area Data Network (LADN) Data Network Name (DNN) or an information of requesting LADN information, in the Registration procedure,

wherein

the transmission and/or reception circuitry is further configured to receive, from the AMF, a Registration Accept message including an LADN information including a second LADN DNN and an LADN service area information, in the Registration procedure,

wherein

the LADN is a Data Network (DN) that is accessible by the UE only in specific locations, that provides connectivity to a specific DNN, and

the second LADN DNN is a DNN which is determined based on the first LADN DNN and subscription data.

2. The UE according to claim 1 , wherein

the second LADN DNN is a DNN which is determined based on the information transmitted included in the Registration Request message.

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

initiating a Registration procedure;

transmitting, to an Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF), a Registration Request message including a first Local Area Data Network (LADN) Data Network Name (DNN) or an information of requesting LADN Information, in the Registration procedure; and

receiving, from the AMF, a Registration Accept message including an LADN information including a second LADN DNN and an LADN service area information, in the Registration procedure,

wherein

the LADN is a Data Network (DN) that is accessible by the UE only in specific locations, that provides connectivity to a specific DNN, and

the second LADN DNN is a DNN which is determined based on the first LADN DNN and subscription data.

4. The communication method according to claim 3 ,

wherein

the second LADN DNN is a DNN which is determined based on the information transmitted included in the Registration Request message.

5. An Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF) comprising:

a controller configured to perform a Registration procedure; and

transmission and/or reception circuitry configured to receive, from a User Equipment (UE), a Registration Request message including a first Local Area Data Network (LADN) Data Network Name (DNN) or an information of requesting LADN Information, in the Registration procedure,

wherein

the transmission and/or reception circuitry is further configured to transmit, to the UE, a Registration Accept message including an LADN information including a second LADN DNN and an LADN service area information, in the Registration procedure,

wherein

the LADN is a Data Network (DN) that is accessible by the UE only in specific locations, that provides connectivity to a specific DNN, and

the second LADN DNN is a DNN which is determined based on the first LADN DNN and subscription data.

6. The AMF according to claim 5 , wherein

the second LADN DNN is a DNN which is determined based on the information received included in the Registration Request message.

7. A communication method performed by an Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF), the communication method comprising:

performing a Registration procedure;

receiving, from a User Equipment (UE), a Registration Request message including a first Local Area Data Network (LADN) Data Network Name (DNN) or an information of requesting LADN Information, in the Registration procedure; and

transmitting, to the UE, a Registration Accept message including an LADN information including a second LADN DNN and an LADN service area information, in the Registration procedure,

wherein

the LADN is a Data Network (DN) that is accessible by the UE only in specific locations, that provides connectivity to a specific DNN, and

the second LADN DNN is a DNN which is determined based on the first LADN DNN and subscription data.

8. The communication method according to claim 7 ,

wherein

the second LADN DNN is a DNN which is determined based on the information received included in the Registration Request message.
