Abstract

Provided is a communication unit for achieving, in a 5GS, in a case that a situation occurs in which information for connectivity to a Local Area Data Network (LADN) requested by a user equipment is not valid, error processing of a control device of a core network and error processing of the user equipment. Provided is a communication unit for achieving, in a 5GS, in a case that a situation occurs in which information for connectivity to a Local Area Data Network (LADN) requested by a user equipment is not valid, error processing in which a control device of a core network rejects the request of the user equipment. Also provided is a communication unit for achieving, in a case that a situation occurs in which information for connectivity to a LADN requested by a user equipment is not valid, appropriate error processing performed by the user equipment.

Claims (46)

1. A User Equipment (UE) comprising:

transmitting and receiving circuitry configured to:

transmit, to a control device in a core network, a registration request message including a Local Area Data Network (LADN) indication Information Element (IE); and

receive, from the control device, a registration accept message including a LADN information IE, and

a controller,

wherein

in a case that there exists one or more LADN Data Network Names (DNNs) which are included in the LADN indication IE and not included in the LADN information IE, the controller considers the one or more LADN DNNs as not available.

2. A control device in a core network comprising:

transmitting and receiving circuitry configured to:

receive, from a User Equipment (UE), a registration request message including a Local Area Data Network (LADN) indication Information Element (IE); and

transmit, to the UE, a registration accept message including a LADN information IE, wherein

the LADN indication IE includes one or more LADN Data Network Names (DNNs), and

the control device indicates, to the UE, that the one or more LADN DNNs are not available, by not including the one or more LADN DNNs in the LADN information IE.

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

transmitting, to a control device in a core network, a registration request message including a Local Area Data Network (LADN) indication Information Element (IE); and

receiving, from the control device, a registration accept message including a LADN information IE,

wherein

in a case that there exists one or more LADN Data Network Names (DNNs) which are included in the LADN indication IE and not included in the LADN information IE, the UE considers the one or more LADN DNNs as not available.

4. A communication control method performed by a control device in a core network, the communication control method comprising:

receiving, from a User Equipment (UE), a registration request message including a Local Area Data Network (LADN) indication Information Element (IE); and

transmitting, to the UE, a registration accept message including a LADN information IE, wherein

the LADN indication IE includes one or more LADN Data Network Names (DNNs), and

the control device indicates, to the UE, that the one or more LADN DNNs are not available, by not including the one or more LADN DNNs in the LADN information IE.

5. A User Equipment (UE) comprising:

transmitting and receiving circuitry configured to:

transmit, to a control device in a core network, a registration request message including a Local Area Data Network (LADN) indication Information Element (IE); and

receive, from the control device, a registration accept message including a LADN information IE, and

a controller,

wherein

in a case that there exists a LADN Data Network Name (DNN) which is included in the LADN indication IE and not included in the LADN information IE, the controller considers the LADN DNN as not available.

6. A control device in a core network comprising:

transmitting and receiving circuitry configured to:

receive, from a User Equipment (UE), a registration request message including a Local Area Data Network (LADN) indication Information Element (IE); and

transmit, to the UE, a registration accept message including a LADN information IE, wherein

the LADN indication IE includes a LADN Data Network Name (DNN), and

the control device indicates, to the UE, that the LADN DNN is not available, by not including the LADN DNN in the LADN information IE.

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

transmitting, to a control device in a core network, a registration request message including a Local Area Data Network (LADN) indication Information Element (IE); and

receiving, from the control device, a registration accept message including a LADN information IE,

wherein

in a case that there exists a LADN Data Network Name (DNN) which is included in the LADN indication IE and not included in the LADN information IE, the UE considers the LADN DNN as not available.

8. A communication control method performed by a control device in a core network, the communication control method comprising:

receiving, from a User Equipment (UE), a registration request message including a Local Area Data Network (LADN) indication Information Element (IE); and

transmitting, to the UE, a registration accept message including a LADN information IE, wherein

the LADN indication IE includes a LADN Data Network Name (DNN), and

the control device indicates, to the UE, that the LADN DNN is not available, by not including the LADN DNN in the LADN information IE.
