User equipment, communication control method of user equipment, core network device, communication control method of core network, SMF, communication control method of SMF, UPF, and communication control method of UPF
A terminal apparatus or a device in a core network exchanges capability information for each function in a registration procedure or a PDU session establishment procedure, and in user data communication additional information is added into an uplink packet to implement terminal apparatus-initiated 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 an authentication and/or authorization function by a 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 a management process such as congestion management for each network slice. This provides a communication control method in order to implement the terminal apparatus-initiated or network-initiated RQoS control, implement the authentication and/or authorization function by the DN, and implement the management process such as congestion management for each network slice.
1. A User Equipment (UE) comprising:
circuitry configured to transmit a Packet Data Unit (PDU) session establishment request message in a PDU session establishment procedure, wherein:
the UE includes first information in the PDU session establishment request message, the first information including a Session Management (SM) PDU Data Network (DN) Request container requesting a procedure for a PDU session authentication and authorization by an external DN to be performed in the PDU session establishment procedure, and
the procedure for the PDU session authentication and authorization is performed during the PDU session establishment procedure and comprises:
receiving, by the UE, a PDU session authentication request message including second information from a core network, the second information indicating PDU session authentication and authorization information issued by the external DN and including a service name which the external DN authenticates and authorizes.
2. The UE according to claim 1 , wherein the first information further includes a user identity.
3. A communication control method performed by a User Equipment (UE), the communication control method comprising:
transmitting a Packet Data Unit (PDU) session establishment request message in a PDU session establishment procedure, wherein:
the UE includes first information in the PDU session establishment request message, the first information including a Session Management (SM) PDU Data Network (DN) Request container requesting a procedure for a PDU session authentication and authorization by an external DN to be performed in the PDU session establishment procedure, and
the procedure for the PDU session authentication and authorization is performed during the PDU session establishment procedure and comprises:
receiving, by the UE, a PDU session authentication request message including second information from a core network, the second information indicating PDU session authentication and authorization information issued by the external DN and including a service name which the external DN authenticates and authorizes.
4. The communication control method according to claim 3 , wherein the first information further includes a user identity.
