Abstract

In an IMS emergency call connection of a call which a user equipment cannot recognize as an emergency call, a user equipment transmits to an IMS an IMS emergency call connection signal of the call which the user equipment cannot recognize as the emergency call, and in a case that a reject or redirection message indicating an emergency call connection is received from the IMS, the user equipment determines whether to transmit the IMS emergency call connection signal again to a core network to which the user equipment is connected or whether to transmit the IMS emergency call connection signal again to another core network in the same PLMN. Accordingly, a user equipment, a core network apparatus, a control method to be performed by an IMS apparatus, and the like are provided for the user equipment to connect to a network suitable for an emergency call service in the 5th generation (5G) mobile communication system, which is a next-generation mobile communication system.

Claims (15)

1. A User Equipment (UE) comprising:

a controller that:

triggers a core network change from a 5G System (5GS) to an Evolved Packet System (EPS), in a case that the UE receives information indicating a support of emergency service via the EPS from an Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF), and

establishes an emergency connection via the EPS after the core network change.

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

triggering a core network change from a 5G System (5GS) to an Evolved Packet System (EPS), in a case that the UE receives information indicating a support of emergency service via the EPS from an Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF), and

establishing an emergency connection via the EPS after the core network change.

3. A User Equipment (UE) comprising:

a controller that:

initiates a transmission of a registration request message;

triggers a core network change from a 5G System (5GS) to an Evolved Packet System (EPS), in a case that the UE receives an indication from an Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF) that emergency service is supported by an all-internet protocol network with an Evolved Packet Core (EPC), wherein the indication from the AMF is received in response to the registration request message, and

establishes an emergency connection via the EPS after the core network change.

4. The UE of claim 3 , wherein the indication from the AMF that emergency service is supported is received in a registration accept message that is a non-access-stratum (NAS) message.

5. The UE of claim 3 , wherein the indication from the AMF that emergency service is supported is received during a registration procedure of the UE.

6. The UE of claim 3 , wherein the indication from the AMF that emergency service is supported is received in an emergency call connection procedure.
