Abstract

In a case that a network (NW) applies a plurality of congestion controls, various kinds of congestion control identification information along with a back-off timer (Session Management (SM) timer) are notified such that a terminal apparatus (UE) can apply a congestion control expected by the NW. Alternatively, in a case that the UE receives an NW-initiated SM request with the back-off timer activated, the UE is allowed to identify an SM timer intended by the NW-initiated SM request. Alternatively, in a case that the UE receives the NW-initiated SM request with the back-off timer activated, the UE is allowed to modify the association of the activated back-off timer and the congestion control to be applied. Thus, a communication control method for the terminal to apply the congestion control expected by the NW in the congestion controls applied by the NW in 5G congestion control that applies a plurality of congestion controls is provided.

Claims (10)

1. A User Equipment (UE), comprising:

a controller configured to:

send a Protocol Data Unit (PDU) session establishment request message,

start a first timer on a per Single Network Slice Selection Assistance information (S-NSSAI) basis with a first back-off timer value in a case that a first cause value to start the first timer and the first back-off timer value are included in a Protocol Data Unit (PDU) session establishment reject message received from a core network, the S-NSSAI being identified within a Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN),

start a second timer on a per S-NSSAI and Data Network Name (DNN) basis with a second back-off timer value in a case that a second cause value to start the second timer and the second back-off timer value are included in the PDU session establishment reject message received from the core network, the S-NSSAI being identified within a PLMN,

start a third timer on a per DNN basis with a third back-off timer value in a case that a third cause value to start the third timer and the third back-off timer value are included in the PDU session establishment reject message received from the core network, the first cause value, the second cause value, and the third cause value being different each other,

send another PDU session establishment request message in a case that the first cause value to start the first timer and the first back-off timer value indicating zero are included in the PDU session establishment reject message received from the core network,

send another PDU session establishment request message in a case that the second cause value to start the second timer and the second back-off timer value indicating zero are included in the PDU session establishment reject message received from the core network, and

send another PDU session establishment request message in a case that the third cause value to start the third timer and the third back-off timer value indicating zero are included in the PDU session establishment reject message received from the core network;

wherein the first cause value indicates that a specific slice is congested, the second cause value indicates that a specific slice and a DNN are congested, and the third cause value indicates that a DNN is congested.
