Abstract

The present invention relates to a method and a device for controlling congestion in a mobile communication system. A method for controlling congestion of a network node according to the present invention comprises the steps of: receiving congestion-related information from at least one base station; transmitting a user equipment information request message for making a request for information on a piece of user equipment corresponding to the base station to a mobility management entity; receiving a user equipment information response message including the information on the user equipment corresponding to the base station from the mobility management entity; and transmitting the information on the piece of user equipment corresponding to the base station to another core network node.

Claims (34)

1. A method by a first entity in a mobile communication system, the method comprising:

receiving a service request message for circuit switched (CS) fall-back from a terminal;

deriving a CS security key based on a key associated with a packet switched (PS) domain; and

transmitting a mobility management (MM) context including the CS security key to a second entity, the CS security key being used between the terminal and the second entity.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first entity includes a mobility management entity (MME) in a first network, and the second entity includes at least one of a mobile switching center (MSC) or visitor location register (VLR) in a second network.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the PS domain includes at least one of a E-UTRAN domain or EPS domain.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the key associated with the PS domain includes a security key (K ASME ) used to derive a security key of an eNodeB (eNB).

5. A method by a terminal in a mobile communication system, the method comprising:

transmitting a service request message for circuit switched (CS) fall-back to a first entity;

deriving a CS security key based on a key associated with a packet switched (PS) domain; and

performing a CS call establishment procedure based on the CS security key.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein an MM context including the CS security key is transmitted from the first entity to a second entity,

wherein the first entity includes a mobility management entity (MME) in a first network, and the second entity includes at least one of a mobile switching center (MSC) or visitor location register (VLR) in a second network.

7. The method of claim 5 , wherein the PS domain includes at least one of a E-UTRAN domain or EPS domain.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the key associated with the PS domain includes a security key (K ASME ) used to derive a security key of an eNodeB (eNB).

9. A first entity in a mobile communication system, the first entity comprising:

a transceiver; and

a controller configured to:

control the transceiver to receive a service request message for circuit switched (CS) fall-back from a terminal,

derive a CS security key based on a key associated with a packet switched (PS) domain, and

control the transceiver to transmit a mobility management (MM) context including the CS security key to a second entity, the CS security key being used between the terminal and the second entity.

10. The first entity of claim 9 , wherein the first entity includes a mobility management entity (MME) in a first network, and the second entity includes at least one of a mobile switching center (MSC) or visitor location register (VLR) in a second network.

11. The first entity of claim 9 , wherein the PS domain includes at least one of a E-UTRAN domain or EPS domain.

12. The first entity of claim 11 , wherein the key associated with the PS domain includes a security key (KASME) used to derive a security key of an eNodeB (eNB).

13. A terminal in a mobile communication system, the terminal comprising:

a transceiver; and

a controller configured to:

control the transceiver to transmit a service request message for circuit switched (CS) fall-back to a first entity;

derive a CS security key based on a key associated with a packet switched (PS) domain; and

perform a CS call establishment procedure based on the CS security key.

14. The terminal of claim 13 , wherein an MM context including the CS security key is transmitted from the first entity to a second entity,

wherein the first entity includes a mobility management entity (MME) in a first network, and the second entity includes at least one of a mobile switching center (MSC) or visitor location register (VLR) in a second network.

15. The terminal of claim 13 , wherein the PS domain includes at least one of a E-UTRAN domain or EPS domain.

16. The terminal of claim 15 , wherein the key associated with the PS domain includes a security key (K ASME ) used to derive a security key of an eNodeB (eNB).
