Abstract

Provided a method and an apparatus for setting control information of a user equipment in a wireless communication system. The method and the apparatus determine control information for network access of the user equipment, allows the network access according to the control information to provide a network service to the user equipment. The wireless communication system can uniformly maintain a service quality for a plurality of UEs.

Claims (51)

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

transmitting, by a mobility management entity (MME), a request for first time control information of the UE to a home subscriber server (HSS) if the MME receives a non access stratum (NAS) request from the UE;

determining, by the MME, time control information based on at least one of the first time control information and second time control information if the MME receives the first time control information from the HSS;

transmitting, by the MME, a NAS response including the time control information to the UE; and

providing, by the MME, a network service to the UE based on the time control information.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first time control information comprises subscribed time control information.

3. A method of controlling access of a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving, by a home subscriber server (HSS), a request for time control information of the UE from a mobility management entity (MME) if a non access stratum (NAS) request is transmitted from the UE to the MME;

transmitting, by the HSS, a request for first time control information to an application server;

determining, by the HSS, the time control information based on at least one of the first time control information and second time control information, if the HSS receives the first time control information from the application server; and

transmitting, by the HSS, the time control information to the MME,

wherein the time control information is used for providing a network service to the UE.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the second time control information comprises MME time control information.

5. The method of claim 3 , wherein the transmitting of the time control information comprises:

transmitting, by the HSS, the time control information to the application server.

6. A method of controlling access of a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

transmitting, by the UE, a non access stratum (NAS) request to a mobility management entity (MME); and

receiving, by the UE, a NAS response including time control information,

wherein the time control information is determined based on at least one of first time control information and second time control information and is used in order for the UE to be provided with a network service.

7. The method of claim 6 , further comprising accessing a network of the MME based on the time control information.

8. A mobility management entity (MME) for controlling access of a user equipment (UE), the MME comprising:

a transceiver configured to transmit signals; and

a controller configured to transmit a request for first time control information to a home subscriber server (HSS) if the MME receives a non access stratum (NAS) request from the UE, to determine time control information based on at least one of the first time control information and second time control information if the MME receives the first time control information from the HSS, to transmit a NAS response including the time control information to the UE, and to provide a network service to the UE based on the time control information.

9. The MME of claim 8 , wherein the first time control information comprises subscribed time control information.

10. A home subscriber server (HSS) for controlling access of a user equipment (UE), the HSS comprising:

a transceiver configured to transmit signals; and

a controller configured to receive a request for time control information from a mobility management entity (MME) if a non access stratum (NAS) request is transmitted from the UE to the MME, to transmit a request for first time control information to an application server, to determine the time control information based on at least one of the first time control information and second time control information if the HSS receives the first time control information from the application server, and to transmit the time control information to the MME,

wherein the time control information is used for providing a network service to the UE.

11. The HSS of claim 10 , wherein the second time control information comprises MME time control information.

12. The HSS of claim 10 , wherein the first time control information comprises server time control information.

13. A user equipment (UE) for controlling access in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:

a transceiver configured to communicate with a mobility management entity (MME); and

a controller configured to transmit a non access stratum (NAS) request to the MME, and to receive a NAS response including time control information from the MME,

wherein the time control information is determined based on at least one of the first time control information and second time control information and is used in order for the UE to be provided with a network service.

14. The UE of claim 13 , wherein the controller is configured to access a network of the MME based on the time control information.

15. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second time control information comprises default time control information.

16. The method of claim 1 , wherein the time control information comprises at least one of a forbidden time interval (FTI) and a granted time interval (GTI).

17. The method of claim 16 , wherein the MME provides a network service to the UE based on the GTI included in the time control information.

18. The method of claim 3 , wherein the first time control information comprises server time control information.

19. The method of claim 3 , wherein the second time control information comprises MME time control information.

20. The method of claim 3 , wherein the time control information comprises at least one of a forbidden time interval (FTI) and a granted time interval (GTI).

21. The method of claim 20 , wherein the GTI included in the time control information is used for providing a network service to the UE.

22. The method of claim 6 , wherein the first time control information comprises subscribed time control information.

23. The method of claim 6 , wherein the second time control information comprises default time control information.

24. The MME of claim 8 , wherein the second time control information comprises default time control information.

25. The MME of claim 8 , wherein the time control information comprises at least one of a forbidden time interval (FTI) and a granted time interval (GTI).

26. The MME of claim 25 , wherein the controller is configured to provide a network service to the UE based on the GTI included in the time control information.

27. The HSS of claim 10 , wherein the time control information comprises at least one of a forbidden time interval (FTI) and a granted time interval (GTI).

28. The HSS of claim 27 , wherein the GTI included in the time control information is used for providing a network service to the UE.

29. The UE of claim 13 , wherein the second time control information comprises default time control information.

30. The UE of claim 13 , wherein the first time control information comprises subscribed time control information.
