Abstract

A method, performed by a terminal, of performing an access control on a network in a wireless communication system, includes: triggering, by an access stratum (AS) layer, an access to the network; determining, by the AS layer, whether a barring timer for an access category corresponding to the triggered access is running; and in response to the barring timer expiring, determining, by the AS layer, that barring for the access category is alleviated.

Claims (26)

1. A method performed by a terminal in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

attempting an access to the network;

performing an access barring check for an access category corresponding to the access;

in case that the access is barred according to the access barring check, starting a barring timer for the access category corresponding to the access;

in case that information on an access identity corresponding to the access and the access category is received by an access stratum (AS) layer from a non-access stratum (NAS) layer while the barring timer is running, transmitting, to the NAS layer, information indicating that the access corresponding to the access category is barred, wherein in case that the information on the access identity and the access category is not received while the barring timer is running, the information indicating that the access corresponding to the access category is barred is not transmitted to the NAS layer;

in case that a barring of the access corresponding to the access category is alleviated, identifying whether the access corresponding to the access category was informed to the NAS layer as barred; and

in case that the barring of the access corresponding to the access category is alleviated and the access corresponding to the access category was informed to the NAS layer as barred, informing, to the NAS layer, an alleviation of the barring of the access corresponding to the access category, wherein in case that the information indicating that the access corresponding to the access category is barred is not transmitted to the NAS layer, the alleviation of the barring of the access is not informed to the NAS layer.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising, in case that the barring timer is running, determining that the access corresponding to the access category is barred.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the access is attempted by the AS layer of the terminal.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the access is attempted in response to a request to switch the terminal from an inactive mode to a connected mode.

5. The method of claim 3 , wherein the access is attempted in response to a radio access network notification area update request of the terminal in the inactive mode.

6. The method of claim 3 , further comprising, based on the determination of whether the access corresponding to the access category is barred, determining, by the NAS layer, whether to initiate an attempt of the access corresponding to the access category.

7. A terminal in a wireless communication system, the terminal comprising:

a transceiver; and

a processor coupled with the transceiver and configured to:

attempt an access to the network,

perform an access barring check for an access category corresponding to the access,

in case that the access is barred according to the access barring check, start a barring timer for the access category corresponding to the access,

in case that information on an access identity corresponding to the access and the access category is received by an access stratum (AS) layer from a non-access stratum (NAS) layer while the barring timer is running, transmit, to the NAS layer, information indicating that the access corresponding to the access category is barred, wherein in case that the information on the access identity and the access category is not received while the barring timer is running, the information indicating that the access corresponding to the access category is barred is not transmitted to the NAS layer;

in case that a barring of the access corresponding to the access category is alleviated, identify whether the access corresponding to the access category was informed to the NAS layer as barred, and

in case that the barring of the access corresponding to the access category is alleviated and the access corresponding to the access category was informed to the NAS layer as barred, inform, to the NAS layer, an alleviation of the barring of the access corresponding to the access category, wherein in case that the information indicating that the access corresponding to the access category is barred is not transmitted to the NAS layer, the alleviation of the barring of the access is not informed to the NAS layer.

8. The terminal of claim 7 , wherein the processor is further configured to, in case that the barring timer is running, determine that the access corresponding to the access category is barred.

9. The terminal of claim 7 , wherein the access is attempted by the AS layer of the terminal.

10. The terminal of claim 9 , wherein the access is attempted in response to a request to switch the terminal from an inactive mode to a connected mode.

11. The terminal of claim 9 , wherein the access is attempted in response to a radio access network notification area update request of the terminal in an inactive mode.

12. The terminal of claim 9 , wherein the processor is further configured, based on the determination of whether the access corresponding to the access category is barred, to determine, by the NAS layer, whether to initiate an attempt of the access corresponding to the access category.
