Abstract

Disclosed as a method of controlling access to a network in a wireless communication system and an apparatus therefor. Specifically, a method of performing access to a network by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system may include receiving first information on whether a specific access identity is valid in a specific public land mobile network (PLMN) from the network, when the UE selects a PLMN and attempts access, determining whether the specific access identity is valid in the PLMN selected by the UE based on the first information, selecting an access identity based on the determination, and performing an access control procedure based on the selected access identity.

Claims (42)

1. A method of performing access to a network by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

determining one or more public land mobile networks (PLMNs) which are available in a cell, based on system information related to the cell;

selecting a PLMN among the one or more PLMNs;

determining, among pre-configured access identities, a specific access identity to access the selected PLMN; and

performing an access control procedure based on the specific access identity,

wherein, based on (A) the UE being configured for (i) a multimedia priority service (MPS) or (ii) a mission critical service (MCS), (B) based on information being pre-configured in the UE which represents a validity of an access identity related to the MPS or the MCS, and (C) based on the selected PLMN being one of PLMNs determined based on the information representing the validity of the access identity related to the MPS or the MCS:

the specific access identity is, among the pre-configured access identities, determined as an access identity which is related to the MPS or the MCS.

2. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein based on the UE being configured for the MPS and the selected PLMN being one of PLMNs determined based on the information representing the validity of the access identity related to the MPS, the specific access identity is determined as an access identity for the MPS.

3. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein based on the UE being configured for the MCS and the selected PLMN being one of PLMNs determined based on the information representing the validity of the access identity related to the MCS, the specific access identity is determined as an access identity for the MCS.

4. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein based on the selected PLMN not being the one of PLMNs determined based on the information representing the validity of the access identity related to the MPS or the MCS, the specific access identity is, among the pre-configured access identities, determined as an access identity other than the access identity which is related to the MPS or the MCS.

5. A user equipment (UE) configured to perform access to a network in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:

a transceiver configured to transmit and receive radio signals; and

at least one processing apparatus configured to control the transceiver,

wherein the at least one processing apparatus is further configured to:

determine one or more public land mobile networks (PLMNs) which are available in a cell, based on system information related to the cell;

select a PLMN among the one or more PLMNs;

determine, among pre-configured access identities, a specific access identity to access the selected PLMN; and

perform an access control procedure based on the specific access identity,

wherein, based on (A) the UE being configured for (i) a multimedia priority service (MPS) or (ii) a mission critical service (MCS), (B) based on information being pre-configured in the UE which represents a validity of an access identity related to the MPS or the MCS, and (C) based on the selected PLMN being one of PLMNs determined based on the information representing the validity of the access identity related to the MPS or the MCS:

the specific access identity is, among the pre-configured access identities, determined as an access identity which is related to the MPS or the MCS.

6. The UE of claim 5 ,

wherein based on the selected PLMN not being the one of PLMNs determined based on the information representing the validity of the access identity related to the MPS or the MCS, the specific access identity is, among the pre-configured access identities, determined as an access identity other than the access identity which is related to the MPS or the MCS.

7. The UE of claim 5 ,

wherein based on the UE being configured for the MPS and the selected PLMN being one of PLMNs determined based on the information representing the validity of the access identity related to the MPS, the specific access identity is determined as an access identity for the MPS.

8. The UE of claim 5 ,

wherein based on the UE being configured for the MCS and the selected PLMN being one of PLMNs determined based on the information representing the validity of the access identity related to the MCS, the specific access identity is determined as an access identity for the MCS.

9. At least one non-transitory computer-readable media storing instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, perform operations comprising:

determining one or more public land mobile networks (PLMNs) which are available in a cell, based on system information related to the cell;

selecting a PLMN among the one or more PLMNs;

determining, among pre-configured access identities, a specific access identity to access the selected PLMN; and

performing an access control procedure based on the specific access identity,

wherein, based on (A) user equipment (UE) being configured for (i) a multimedia priority service (MPS) or (ii) a mission critical service (MCS), (B) based on information being pre-configured in the UE which represents a validity of an access identity related to the MPS or the MCS, and (C) based on the selected PLMN being one of PLMNs determined based on the information representing the validity of the access identity related to the MPS or the MCS:

the specific access identity is, among the pre-configured access identities, determined as an access identity which is related to the MPS or the MCS.

10. The at least one non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 9 ,

wherein based on the UE being configured for the MPS and the selected PLMN being one of PLMNs determined based on the information representing the validity of the access identity related to the MPS, the specific access identity is determined as an access identity for the MPS.

11. The at least one non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 9 ,

wherein based on the UE being configured for the MCS and the selected being one of PLMNs determined based on the information representing the validity of the access identity related to the MCS, the specific access identity is determined as an access identity for the MCS.

12. The at least one non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 9 ,

wherein based on the selected PLMN not being the one of PLMNs determined based on the information representing the validity of the access identity related to the MPS or the MCS, the specific access identity is, among the pre-configured access identities, determined as an access identity other than the access identity which is related to the MPS or the MCS.
