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 (12)

1. A User Equipment (UE) comprising:

a controller configured to stop a first timer on a per Single Network Slice Selection Assistance information (S-NSSAI) and Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) basis, in a case of receipt of a Protocol Data Unit (PDU) SESSION MODIFICATION COMMAND message for a PDU session, in a case that the UE provided a first S-NSSAI during an establishment procedure of the PDU session, and in a case that the first timer is running for the first S-NSSAI and a PLMN, wherein

the controller is further configured to stop a second timer on a per S-NSSAI and DNN basis in a case of receipt of a PDU SESSION MODIFICATION COMMAND message for a PDU session, in a case that the UE provided a second S-NSSAI during an establishment procedure of the PDU session, and in a case that the second timer is running for the second S-NSSAI, and

the second S-NSSAI is identified within a PLMN.

2. The UE according to claim 1 , wherein:

the first timer is associated with the S-NSSAI and is not associated with a Data Network Name (DNN).

3. The UE according to claim 1 , wherein:

the UE receives the PDU SESSION MODIFICATION COMMAND message that is sent by a Session Management Function (SMF) to indicate a modification of a PDU session in a Network-requested PDU session modification procedure.

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

stopping a first timer on a per Single Network Slice Selection Assistance information (S-NSSAI) and Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) basis, in a case of receipt of a Protocol Data Unit (PDU) SESSION MODIFICATION COMMAND message for a PDU session, in a case that the UE provided a first S-NSSAI during an establishment procedure of the PDU session, and in a case that the first timer is running for the first S-NSSAI and a PLMN, wherein

stopping a second timer on a per S-NSSAI and DNN basis in a case of receipt of a PDU SESSION MODIFICATION COMMAND message for a PDU session, in a case that the UE provided a second S-NSSAI during an establishment procedure of the PDU session, and in a case that the second timer is running for the second S-NSSAI, and

the second S-NSSAI is identified within a PLMN.
