Abstract

According to an aspect of the present invention, a mobile terminal apparatus and an intra-core network apparatus do not enable congestion control during connection of a mobile terminal apparatus to a non-public network (NPN) in 5GS. Alternatively, during connection of the mobile terminal apparatus to the NPN in 5GS, the mobile terminal apparatus and the intra-core network apparatus enable congestion control only in a public land mobile network (PLMN) specific to the congestion control to provide a congestion control method in an NAS level to the mobile terminal apparatus being connected to the non-public network (NPN) and the intra-core network apparatus in 5GS.

Claims (12)

1. A User Equipment (UE) comprising:

a controller; and

a transmission and reception circuitry, wherein

the transmission and reception circuitry receives a 5G session management (5GSM) cause value #26 to start a timer T3396 for a Data Network Name (DNN) based congestion control, and receives a back-off timer value,

the controller is configured to start the timer T3396 with the back-off timer value,

the 5GSM cause value #26 indicates insufficient resources, and

the timer T3396 is started on a per DNN and Stand-alone Non-Public Network (SNPN) basis after determining that the UE is in an SNPN.

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

receiving a 5G session management (5GSM) cause value #26 to start a timer T3396 for a Data Network Name (DNN) based congestion control, and receiving a back-off timer value; and

starting the timer T3396 with the back-off timer value, wherein

the 5GSM cause value #26 indicates insufficient resources, and

the timer T3396 is started on a per DNN and Stand-alone Non-Public Network (SNPN) basis after determining that the UE is in an SNPN.
