Abstract

Provided is, in 5GS, a communication unit for implementing a Vertical LAN. Provided are, in 5GS, a unit for registration of a UE, a session establishment procedure, and generation of a 5GLAN group for implementing the Vertical LAN and a 5GLAN service, a unit for starting communication using the Vertical LAN and the 5GLAN service, and the communication unit. In addition, provided are a unit for modifying a configuration of the UE registered with a network, a unit for managing an established session, a unit for deleting the 5GLAN group, a unit for deleting the UE from the 5GLAN group, and a unit for stopping communication using the Vertical LAN and the 5GLAN service.

Claims (42)

1. A User Equipment (UE) comprising:

transmitting and receiving circuitry configured to receive a first control message including first information from a control device; and

a memory configured to store the first information based on receipt of the first control message,

wherein

the first information includes a Data Network Name (DNN),

the DNN is associated with a first group,

the first group consists of a set of UEs using private communication for 5G Local Area Data Network (5G LAN)-type services,

in a network-requested procedure, the transmitting and receiving circuitry receives a second control message,

the second control message does not include a DNN associated with the first group, and

based on the second control message, the memory deletes the first information.

2. A User Equipment (UE) comprising:

transmitting and receiving circuitry configured to receive a first control message including first information from a control device; and

a memory configured to store the first information based on receipt of the first control message,

wherein

the first information includes a Data Network Name (DNN),

the DNN is associated with a first group,

the first group consists of a set of UEs using private communication for 5G Local Area Data Network (5G LAN)-type services,

in a network-requested procedure, the transmitting and receiving circuitry receives a second control message including a second information,

the second information includes a DNN associated with the first group, and

based on the second control message, the memory replaces the first information with the second information.

3. A communication control method performed by a User Equipment (UE), the communication control method comprising:

receiving a first control message including first information from a control device; and

storing the first information based on receipt of the first control message,

wherein

the first information includes a Data Network Name (DNN),

the DNN is associated with a first group,

the first group consists of a set of UEs using private communication for 5G Local Area Data Network (5G LAN)-type services,

the communication control method further comprising:

in a network-requested procedure, receiving a second control message, wherein

the second control message does not include a DNN associated with the first group; and

based on the second control message, deleting the first information.

4. A communication control method performed by a User Equipment (UE), the communication control method comprising:

receiving a first control message including first information from a control device; and

storing the first information based on receipt of the first control message,

wherein

the first information includes a Data Network Name (DNN),

the DNN is associated with a first group,

the first group consists of a set of UEs using private communication for 5G Local Area Data Network (5G LAN)-type services,

the communication control method further comprising:

in a network-requested procedure, receiving a second control message including a second information, wherein

the second information includes a DNN associated with the first group; and

based on the second control message, replacing the first information with the second information.
