Abstract

To perform a user process such as access restriction and priority control, for each user depending on an area where the user is located, a first core network node includes: a memory storing instructions; and one or more processors configured to execute the instructions to: receive, from a second core network node association information including service attribute information and area identification information associated with each other, the area identification information indicating an area where processing indicated by the service attribute information is performed, the association information being preset per terminal apparatus basis; and perform control on the terminal apparatus 300 in accordance with the association information.

Claims (21)

1. A core network node being a first core network node, the core network node comprising:

a memory storing instructions; and

one or more processors configured to execute the instructions to

receive, from a second core network node, association information including service attribute information and area identification information associated with each other, the association information being preset per terminal apparatus basis, the service attribute information indicating control processing performed for a service provided to respective terminal apparatus, the area identification information indicating an area where the control processing indicated by the service attribute information is performed, wherein the core network node is a Mobility Management Entity (MME) and the second core network node is a Home Subscriber Server (HSS); and

perform control on the terminal apparatus in accordance with the association information.

2. The core network node according to claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are configured to execute the instructions to

add S1 Application Protocol-Identifier (S1AP-ID) to the association information received from the second core network node, and transmit the association information to a base station serving the terminal apparatus, to cause the base station to perform control on the terminal apparatus in accordance with the association information.

3. The core network node according to claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are configured to execute the instructions to

receive an access request or a Tracking Area update request from the terminal apparatus through a base station,

request the second core network node to provide the association information with regard to the terminal apparatus, based on the access request or the Tracking Area update request from the terminal apparatus, and

receive the association information with regard to the terminal apparatus from the second core network node.

4. The core network node according to claim 1 , wherein control on the terminal apparatus includes performing the control processing indicated by the service attribute information when the terminal apparatus is located in an area indicated by the area identification information.

5. The core network node according to claim 1 , wherein control on the terminal apparatus includes processing of changing priority of radio scheduling.

6. A base station comprising:

a memory storing instructions; and

one or more processors configured to execute the instructions to

receive, from a core network node, association information including service attribute information and area identification information associated with each other along with an S1AP-ID of a terminal apparatus, the association information being preset per terminal apparatus basis, the service attribute information indicating control processing performed for a service provided to respective terminal apparatus, the area identification information indicating an area where the control processing indicated by the service attribute information is performed, wherein the core network node is a Mobility Management Entity (MME); and

perform control on the terminal apparatus in accordance with the association information.

7. A method for controlling a terminal apparatus, the method comprising:

receiving, from a core network node, association information including service attribute information and area identification information associated with each other, the association information being preset per terminal apparatus basis, the service attribute information indicating control processing performed for a service provided to respective terminal apparatus, the area identification information indicating an area where the control processing indicated by the service attribute information is performed, wherein the core network node is a Mobility Management Entity (MME); and

performing control on the terminal apparatus in accordance with the association information.
