Abstract

An access control technology in a next generation mobile communication network is disclosed. More specifically, disclosed is a technology for controlling an access control operation of a terminal through an integrated category by various methods and layers. One embodiment provides a method by which a terminal performs integrated access control, comprising the steps of: receiving, from a base station, system information including information for access control; indicating access category information from an NAS layer to an AS layer of the terminal when an access attempt is triggered; confirming whether access barring parameter information is included in the system information; and controlling an access barring check operation in the AS layer by using at least one of the access category information and the access barring parameter information.

Claims (41)

1. A method of a user equipment (UE) for performing unified access control, the method comprising:

receiving, by the UE, a system information block type 1 (SIB1) from a base station, the SIB1 including barring information for the unified access control, the barring information being received by the UE through the SIB1 and comprising:

i) access category information,

ii) identity information for identifying a set of barring parameters, and

iii) the set of barring parameters including at least one of a barring factor and a barring time; and

performing, by the UE, an access barring check associated with an access category, based on the set of barring parameters identified by the identity information,

wherein the SIB1 is minimum system information, and

wherein i) the access category information, ii) the identity information, and iii) the set of barring parameters comprised in the barring information are received simultaneously by the UE, when the SIB1 is received from the base station.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the access category information is associated with a specific access attempt.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the access category information is set for each access attempt type that is classified based on an application service type of the UE or a transmission signaling processing procedure.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the set of barring parameters further includes a barring bitmap.

5. The method according to claim 4 , wherein, when a value is set in the barring bitmap, the access barring check is controlled such that access attempt of the access category is allowed.

6. The method according to claim 5 , wherein

the barring bitmap is in accordance with UE configuration information, and

the UE configuration information is set as at least one of access classes 11, 12, 13, 14 and 15.

7. A method of a base station for enabling to perform unified access control, the method comprising:

transmitting, by the base station, system information including barring information for the unified access control to a user equipment (UE), wherein the barring information for the unified access control comprises

transmitting, by the base station, a system information block type 1 (SIB1) to a user equipment (UE), the SIB1 including barring information for the unified access control, the barring information being transmitted by the base station through the SIB1 and comprising:

i) access category information,

ii) identity information for identifying a set of barring parameters, and

iii) the set of barring parameters including at least one of a barring factor and a barring time; and

receiving, by the base station, access request information determined based on the transmitted SIB1,

wherein the SIB1 is minimum system information, and

wherein i) the access category information, ii) the identity information, and iii) the set of barring parameters comprised in the barring information are transmitted simultaneously by the base station, when the SIB1 is transmitted to the UE.

8. The method according to claim 7 , wherein the access request information is received according to a result of performing of an access barring check associated with an access category, based on the set of barring parameters identified by the identity information.

9. The method according to claim 7 , wherein the set of barring parameters further includes a barring bitmap.

10. A user equipment (UE) performing unified access control, the UE comprising:

a receiver configured to receive system system information block type 1 (SIB1) from a base station, the SIB1 including barring information for the unified access control, the barring information being received by the UE through the SIB1 and comprising:

i) access category information,

ii) identity information for identifying a set of barring parameters, and

iii) the set of barring parameters including at least one of a barring factor and a barring time; and

a controller configured to perform an access barring check associated with an access category, based on the set of barring parameters identified by the identity information,

wherein the SIB1 is minimum system information, and

wherein i) the access category information, ii) the identity information, and iii) the set of barring parameters comprised in the barring information are received simultaneously by the UE, when the SIB1 is received from the base station.

11. The UE according to claim 10 , wherein the access category information is associated with a specific access attempt.

12. The UE according to claim 10 , wherein the access category information is set for each access attempt type that is classified based on an application service type of the UE or a transmission signaling processing procedure.

13. The UE according to claim 10 , wherein the set of barring parameters further includes a barring bitmap.

14. The UE according to claim 13 , wherein, when a value is set in the barring bitmap, the access barring check is controlled such that access attempt of the access category is allowed.

15. The UE according to claim 14 , wherein

the barring bitmap is in accordance with UE configuration information, and

the UE configuration information is set as at least one of access classes 11, 12, 13, 14 and 15.
