Abstract

The present disclosure provides a user equipment (UE). The UE comprises at least one of a transmission unit and a reception unit, wherein the at least one of the transmission unit and the reception unit receives, from a core network, a protocol data unit (PDU) session establishment reject message including first identification information, the first identification information indicating behaviors of the UE after a first public land mobile network (PLMN) is changed; and a controller, wherein the controller: does not stop, when the first PLMN is changed, a back-off timer for congestion management based on single network slice selection assistance information (S-NSSAI), the back-off timer being activated in the first PLMN; and determines, based on the first identification information, whether initiation of a procedure for the S-NSSAI in a second PLMN is allowed after the first PLMN is changed.

Claims (10)

1. A user equipment (UE), comprising:

at least one of a transmission unit and a reception unit, wherein

the at least one of the transmission unit and the reception unit receives, from a core network, a protocol data unit (PDU) session establishment reject message including first identification information and a cause value, the first identification information indicating behaviors of the UE after a first public land mobile network (PLMN) is changed, and the cause value indicating insufficient resources for a single network slice selection assistance information (S-NSSAI); and

a controller that:

does not stop, when the first PLMN is changed, a back-off timer for congestion management based on the S-NSSAI, the back-off timer being activated in the first PLMN; and

determines, based on the first identification information, whether initiation of a PDU session establishment procedure, while the S-NSSAI is in a second PLMN, is allowed after the first PLMN is changed.

2. A communication method for a user equipment (UE), the communication method comprising:

receiving, from a core network, a protocol data unit (PDU) session establishment reject message including first identification information and a cause value, the first identification information indicating behaviors of the UE after a first public land mobile network (PLMN) is changed, and the cause value indicating insufficient resources for a single network slice selection assistance information (S-NSSAI);

forgo stopping, when the first PLMN is changed, a back-off timer for congestion management based on the S-NSSAI, the back-off timer being activated in the first PLMN; and

determining, based on the first identification information, whether initiation of a PDU session establishment procedure, while the S-NSSAI is in a second PLMN, is allowed after the first PLMN is changed.
