Terminal apparatus and core network device for implementing an authentication and/or authorization function by a data network
A terminal apparatus or a device in a core network exchanges capability information for each function in a registration procedure or a packet data unit (PDU) session establishment procedure. In user data communication, additional information is added into an uplink packet to implement the terminal apparatus-initiated reflective quality of service (RQoS) control, and additional information is added into a downlink packet to implement network device-initiated RQoS control. A dedicated control message and information for the authentication and/or authorization function by a data network (DN) are defined to implement the authentication and/or authorization function by the DN. Furthermore, the terminal apparatus and the device in the core network have a timer or a control process for each network slice to implement the management process such as congestion management for each network slice.
1. A User Equipment (UE) comprising:
a transmission and reception circuit configured to:
send a first Packet Data Unit (PDU) SESSION ESTABLISHMENT REQUEST message to a network in a PDU session establishment procedure,
wherein a combination of no single-network slice selection assistance information (S-NSSAI) and no data network name (DNN) is provided by the UE during the PDU session establishment procedure; and
receive a PDU SESSION ESTABLISHMENT REJECT message from the network,
wherein the PDU SESSION ESTABLISHMENT REJECT message comprises a back-off timer value, and the back-off timer value is neither zero nor deactivated; and
a control circuitry configured to start a timer with the back-off timer value,
wherein the transmission and reception circuitry is further configured to not send a second PDU SESSION ESTABLISHMENT REQUEST message for the combination of no S-NSSAI and no DNN, to the network until the timer expires.
2. A method for a User Equipment (UE), the method comprising:
sending a first Packet Data Unit (PDU) SESSION ESTABLISHMENT REQUEST message to a network in a PDU session establishment procedure,
wherein a combination of no single-network slice selection assistance information (S-NSSAI) and no data network name (DNN) is provided by the UE during the PDU session establishment procedure;
receiving a PDU SESSION ESTABLISHMENT REJECT message from the network,
wherein the PDU SESSION ESTABLISHMENT REJECT message comprises a back-off timer value, and the back-off timer value is neither zero nor deactivated;
starting a timer with the back-off timer value; and
not sending a second PDU SESSION ESTABLISHMENT REQUEST message for the combination of no S-NSSAI and no DNN, to the network until the timer expires.
