Method for barring network access for each application, and user equipment
One embodiment of the present specification provides a method of attempting network access by user equipment (UE). The method comprises the steps of: acquiring, from an upper layer, information related to an application attempting network access when an application specific congestion control for data communication (ACDC) is configured; determining an ACDC category on the basis of the acquired information related to an application; and performing an ACDC test on the basis of the determined ACDC category, wherein a network access trial can be barred or allowed for each application according to the ACDC test.
1. A network access method performed by a user equipment (UE), the method comprising:
acquiring application information from a higher layer when application specific congestion control for data communication (ACDC) is configured;
determining an ACDC category for a network access request of an application based on the acquired application information; and
performing an ACDC check based on the determined ACDC category,
wherein the network access request is barred or allowed according to the ACDC check, and
wherein when a plurality of ACDC categories are available for the network access request of the application, a highest ACDC category among the plurality of ACDC categories is selected to perform the ACDC check.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the application information includes an application identifier.
3. The method of claim 1 further comprising:
receiving ACDC configuration information, and
wherein determining the ACDC category comprises comparing the ACDC configuration information and the application information.
4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the ACDC configuration information includes at least one application identifier and, for each at least one application identifier, a corresponding application category.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the application information comprises a plurality of application identifiers, and wherein determining the ACDC category further comprises:
determining an ACDC category for each of the plurality of application identifiers; and
determining which of the ACDC categories has the highest priority level.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein determining the ACDC category comprises:
identifying the ACDC category from among a plurality of ACDC categories, each ACDC category having a corresponding priority level.
7. The method of claim 6 ,
wherein acquiring application information comprises acquiring application information for a plurality of applications, and
wherein determining the ACDC category further comprises:
determining the ACDC category for each of the plurality of applications, and
determining which of the ACDC categories has the highest priority level.
8. The method of claim 7 , wherein performing the ACDC check comprises:
performing the ACDC check based on the ACDC category having the highest priority level.
9. A user equipment capable of accessing a network comprising:
a transceiver; and
a processor that controls the transceiver, wherein the processor:
acquires application information from a higher layer when application specific congestion control for data communication (ACDC) is configured;
determines an ACDC category for a network access request of an application based on the acquired application information; and
performs an ACDC check based on the determined ACDC category,
wherein the network access request is barred or allowed according to the ACDC check, and
wherein when a plurality of ACDC categories are available for the network access request of the application, a highest ACDC category among the plurality of ACDC categories is selected to perform the ACDC check.
10. The user equipment of claim 9 , wherein the application information includes an application identifier.
11. The user equipment of claim 9 ,
wherein the processor further controls the transceiver to receive ACDC configuration information, and
wherein the processor determines the ACDC category by comparing the ACDC configuration information and the application information.
12. The user equipment of claim 11 , wherein the ACDC configuration information includes at least one application identifier and, for each at least one application identifier, a corresponding application category.
13. The user equipment of claim 9 , wherein the processor, in determining the ACDC category, identifies the ACDC category from among a plurality of ACDC categories, each ACDC category having a corresponding priority level.
14. The user equipment of claim 13 ,
wherein the processor, in acquiring application information, acquires application information for a plurality of applications, and
wherein the processor, in determining the ACDC category,
determines the ACDC category for each of the plurality of applications, and
determines which of the ACDC categories has the highest priority level.
