Abstract

A User Equipment (UE) includes a controller configured to, in a case of a failure of a first emergency call connection attempt using Packet Switched (PS) domain, perform a second emergency call connection attempt using the PS domain, and a transmission and/or reception unit configured to receive a Packet Data Unit (PDU) SESSION ESTABLISHMENT REJECT message as the failure of the first emergency call connection attempt. The UE uses a first access network for the first emergency call connection attempt, and the UE uses a second access network for the second emergency call connection attempt. Thus, for a 5th Generation (5G) mobile communication system corresponding to a next generation mobile communication system, a control method is provided that is performed by a user equipment, an access network apparatus, a core network apparatus, and an IMS apparatus to allow the user equipment to connect to a network suitable for an emergency notification service.

Claims (14)

1. A User Equipment (UE) comprising:

control circuitry; and

transmitting and receiving circuitry, wherein:

the control circuitry is able to perform a second emergency call attempt in an Evolved Packet System (EPS) in a case of a failure of a first emergency call attempt in a 5G system (5GS),

the transmitting and receiving circuitry receives a Protocol Data Unit (PDU) SESSION ESTABLISHMENT REJECT message as the failure of the first emergency call attempt,

the control circuitry determines whether the system in which the UE performs the second emergency call attempt is the EPS or the 5GS, based on a cause value indicating a reason that the first emergency call attempt is rejected,

the control circuitry uses a first access network for the first emergency call attempt, and

the control circuitry uses a second access network for the second emergency call attempt.

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

performing a second emergency call attempt in an Evolved Packet System (EPS) in a case of a failure of a first emergency call attempt in a 5G system (5GS);

receiving a Protocol Data Unit (PDU) SESSION ESTABLISHMENT REJECT message as the failure of the first emergency call attempt;

determining whether the system in which the UE performs the second emergency call attempt is the EPS or the 5GS, based on a cause value indicating a reason that the first emergency call attempt is rejected;

using a first access network for the first emergency call attempt; and

using a second access network for the second emergency call attempt.
