Abstract

A User Equipment (UE) includes a transmitter configured to, in a case that, at a time when a Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) is changed, a first timer is deactivated for a certain Data Network Name (DNN) and an old PLMN but a second timer is not running for the DNN or a new PLMN and is not deactivated, be capable of transmitting a PDU session establishment request message for the DNN or no DNN in the new PLMN without stopping the first timer. Thus, a communication control method is provided that is used in a case that, in 5G congestion control in which multiple types of congestion control are applied, the PLMN is changed during application of the congestion control.

Claims (14)

1. A User Equipment (UE) comprising:

transmitting and receiving circuitry which receives a timer value for a first timer; and

a controller, wherein

when a Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) is changed, in a case that the first timer is deactivated for a Data Network Name (DNN) and an old PLMN, but a second timer is not running and is not deactivated for the DNN and a new PLMN, the controller allows the transmitting and receiving circuitry to send a Protocol Data Unit (PDU) SESSION ESTABLISHMENT REQUEST message for connecting the DNN in the new PLMN without stopping the first timer, and

wherein the first timer and the second timer are timers for DNN-based congestion control, and are configured by the controller.

2. A User Equipment (UE) comprising:

transmitting and receiving circuitry which receives a timer value for a first timer; and

a controller, wherein

upon when a Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) is changed, in a case that the first timer is deactivated for no Data Network Name (DNN) and an old PLMN, but a second timer is not running and is not deactivated for no DNN and a new PLMN, the controller allows the transmitting and receiving circuitry to send a Protocol Data Unit (PDU) SESSION ESTABLISHMENT REQUEST message for connecting no DNN in the new PLMN without stopping the first time, and

wherein the first timer and the second timer are timers for DNN-based congestion control, and are configured by the controller.

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

receiving a timer value for a first timer; and

when a Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) is changed, in a case that the first timer is deactivated for a Data Network Name (DNN) and an old PLMN, but a second timer is not running and is not deactivated for the DNN and a new PLMN, allowing, by a controller, a transmitting and receiving circuitry to send a Protocol Data Unit (PDU) SESSION ESTABLISHMENT REQUEST message for connecting the DNN in the new PLMN without stopping the first timer,

wherein the first timer and the second timer are timers for DNN-based congestion control, and are configured by the controller.
