Abstract

The present invention relates to a wireless communication system, and more particularly, to a method and an apparatus for processing a NAS signaling request. A method for performing a non-access stratum (NAS) signaling process by means of a terminal in a wireless communication system according to one embodiment of the present invention comprises: a step of receiving a first message that includes information indicating a network failure from a network node of a first network; a step of starting a timer relating to a network selection; and a step of selecting a second network from among network candidates excluding the first network during the operation of the timer relating to a network selection.

Claims (20)

1. A method for performing a non-access stratum (NAS) signaling procedure by a UE (User Equipment) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising,

transmitting, by the UE, an attach request message to a first network of a first radio access technology (RAT) in a first public land mobile network (PLMN), wherein the first RAT of the first network is Long Term Evolution (LTE);

receiving, by the UE, an attach reject message informing network failure, in response to the attach request message,

starting, by the UE, a network selection related timer after receiving the attach reject message; and

selecting, by the UE, a second network from among network candidates, while the network selection related timer is running,

wherein the network candidates include a second RAT in the first PLMN, a first RAT in a second PLMN and a second RAT in the second PLMN, and

wherein at least one of the network candidates includes an LTE RAT.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the attach reject message is a rejection message informing that the NAS signaling procedure requested through the attach request message is not granted by a network.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein a RAT of the first network is LTE (Long Term Evolution).

4. A user equipment (UE) configured to perform a non-access stratum (NAS) signaling procedure in a wireless communication system, comprising:

a transmitting device and a reception device; and

a processor configured to:

transmit an attach request message to a first network of a first radio access technology (RAT) in a first public land mobile network (PLMN) via the transmitting device, wherein the first RAT of the first network is Long Term Evolution (LTE);

receive an attach reject message informing network failure, in response to the attach request message via the reception device,

start a network selection related timer after receiving the attach reject message; and

select a second network from among network candidates, while the network selection related timer is running,

wherein the network candidates include a second RAT in the first PLMN a first RAT in a second PLMN and a second RAT in the second PLMN, and

wherein at least one of the network candidates includes an LTE RAT.

5. The user equipment according to claim 4 , wherein the attach reject message is a rejection message informing that the NAS signaling procedure requested through the attach request message is not granted by a network.

6. The user equipment according to claim 4 , wherein a RAT of the first network is LTE (Long Term Evolution).
