Abstract

Provided is a communication measure for registering information about a terminal apparatus in various apparatuses, such as a control apparatus and a terminal apparatus, included in a communication system in which a protocol used for registration management or registration information management for a mobile communication service is shared, based on the states of the various apparatuses. Also provided is a communication control measure for updating the information about the terminal apparatus registered in the various apparatuses. Thus, there are provided, in a communication system in which a protocol used for registration management or registration information management for a mobile communication service is shared, a measure for registration management based on the states of various apparatuses included in the communication system, such as a control apparatus and a terminal apparatus, and a realization measure for determining post-registration behavior.

Claims (26)

1. A User Equipment (UE) comprising:

receiving circuitry configured to:

receive first identification information or second identification information from an Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF), and

control circuitry configured to:

add a Single Network Slice Selection Assistance Information (S-NSSAI) in a S-NSSAI list in a case that the first identification information is received, and

add the S-NSSAI in the S-NSSAI list in a case that the second identification information is received,

wherein

the first identification information indicates that the S-NSSAI is not available in a current Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN), and

the second identification information indicates that the S-NSSAI is not available in a current registration area.

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

receiving first identification information or second identification information from an Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF),

adding a Single Network Slice Selection Assistance Information (S-NSSAI) in a S-NSSAI list in a case that the first identification information is received, and

adding the S-NSSAI in the S-NSSAI list in a case that the second identification information is received,

wherein

the first identification information indicates that the S-NSSAI is not available in a current Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN), and

the second identification information indicates that the S-NSSAI is not available in a current registration area.

3. The UE according to claim 1 , wherein

the first identification information is information indicating a rejection cause for the current PLMN, and

the second identification information is information indicating a rejection cause for the current registration area.

4. The communication method according to claim 2 , wherein

the first identification information is information indicating a rejection cause for the current PLMN, and

the second identification information is information indicating a rejection cause for the current registration area.

5. The UE according to claim 1 , wherein

the S-NSSAI list is comprised of S-NSSAIs which are not used in the current PLMN or the current registration area.

6. The communication method according to claim 2 , wherein

the S-NSSAI list is comprised of S-NSSAIs which are not used in the current PLMN or the current registration area.
