A User Equipment (UE) includes a controller. In a case of connection to a Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) service via a Stand-alone Non-Public Network (SNPN) by using 3GPP access, the controller does not operate in an SNPN access mode over non-3GPP access.

User equipment (UE) and communication control method

According to one aspect of the present invention, a communication unit for realizing a function for ATSSS in a 5GS is provided. A UE transmits a PDU session establishment request message including an MA PDU Request indication and ATSSS Capability, and in a case that an MA PDU session is allowed to be established and that only the user plane resources for one of 3GPP access or non-3GPP access are allowed to be established, the UE receives information indicating that the MA PDU session is allowed to be established, an access type corresponding to the user plane resources allowed to be established, a value indicating a cause of disallowance of establishment of the user plane resource for an access type different from the above-described access type, and a PDU session establishment accept message including ATSSS rules, and establishes the MA PDU session.

UE and SMF

A UE capable of performing communication via a satellite receives a wait range via a first satellite from a first PLMN. In a case that the UE becomes able to perform communication via a second satellite connected to the first PLMN after becoming unable to perform communication via the first satellite, the UE selects the first PLMN, generates a wait timer based on the wait range, and starts a timer using the wait timer. In a case that an emergency call is made during the timer running, the UE stops the timer and performs a registration procedure for the emergency call. In a case that an emergency call is not made during the timer running, the UE performs the registration procedure after the timer expires.

User equipment (UE) and method of use in discontinuous coverage within satellite networks

A User Equipment (UE) comprises control circuitry and transmission and reception circuitry. The transmission and reception circuitry is configured to receive, from an Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF), a first configuration update command message including a rejected Network Slice Selection Assistance Information (NSSAI) including a Single Network Slice Selection Assistance Information for which a maximum number of UEs has been reached, a cause value indicating that the S-NSSAI is not available due to the maximum number of UEs being reached, and a back-off timer value for the S-NSSAI. The control circuitry is configured to start a timer with the back-off timer value for the S-NSSAI. The transmission and reception circuitry is further configured not to attempt to use the S-NSSAI while the back-off timer is running.

User equipment (UE)

A UE transmits a registration request message including an S-NSSAI and receives a registration accept message including the S-NSSAI, a first cause value, and a first back-off timer value. The UE starts a back-off timer using the first back-off timer value corresponding to the S-NSSAI. In a case that the UE receives a configuration update command including the S-NSSAI, a second cause value, and a second back-off timer value before expiration of the back-off timer, the UE updates, in a case that the second back-off timer value indicates a value other than zero the back-off timer to be the second back-off timer value and stops, in a case that the second back-off timer value indicates zero, the back-off timer. In a case that the back-off timer expires or stops, the UE transmits the registration request message including the S-NSSAI or a PDU session establishment request message. This allows for provision of a communication unit for implementing a function related to management of a maximum number of UEs and/or a maximum number of PDU sessions connected for each network slice in a 5GS.

The present invention provides a communication method for realizing a function for URLLC that requires high-reliability and/or low-latency communication in a 5GS. A user apparatus can provide a communications method capable of realizing a URLLC function in a 5GS by performing the communication method, which comprises: receiving, in a registration procedure, a registration accept messages including DNN and S-NSSAI for URLLC; receiving, in a first PDU session establishment procedure, a PDU session establishment accept messages including information indicating that an SSC mode for a PDU session for URLLC is SSC mode 1; and transmitting, in a second PDU session establishment procedure, a PDU session establishment request messages including information indicating that the SSC mode for the PDU session for URLLC is SSC mode 1.

User apparatus for performing a registration procedure

A terminal apparatus or a device in a core network exchanges capability information for each function in a registration procedure or a PDU session establishment procedure, and in user data communication additional information is added into an uplink packet to implement terminal apparatus-initiated RQoS control, and additional information is added into a downlink packet to implement network device-initiated RQoS control. A dedicated control message and information for an authentication and/or authorization function by a DN are defined to implement the authentication and/or authorization function by the DN. Furthermore, the terminal apparatus and the device in the core network have a timer or a control process for each network slice to implement a management process such as congestion management for each network slice. This provides a communication control method in order to implement the terminal apparatus-initiated or network-initiated RQoS control, implement the authentication and/or authorization function by the DN, and implement the management process such as congestion management for each network slice.

Method and system for user equipment (UE) registration

A mobile station (MS) performs a first random access procedure using a dedicated preamble for non-contention based random access on a first available random access channel (RACH) of a plurality of RACHs in time domain within a period that the dedicated preamble is valid. In addition, the MS performs a second random access procedure using the dedicated preamble for non-contention based random access on the first available RACH after the predetermined time window has expired in a case that a random access response to the transmitted preamble is not received within a predetermined time window monitoring for the random access response. The MS also transmits the dedicated preamble on a RACH allowed to transmit by the BS, where any one of the RACHs in frequency domain is allowed to be transmitted by the BS over a period of time that the plurality of RACHs are allocated to a single carrier.

Radio communication system, base station device, mobile station device, and random access method

Provided is a mobile station device which can increase the success ratio and reduce a communication delay when transmitting a dedicated preamble from the mobile station device to a base station device by using a random access channel (RACH). The mobile station device performs random access to the base station device by using a dedicated preamble. The mobile station device transmits a first message by using the dedicated preamble and again transmits the first message using the dedicated preamble during a period (a random access response reception-uncertain period) when the base station device may transmit a second message as a response to the first message.

Mobile station device, base station device, communication system, communication method, and program

A radio communication system includes a base station device and a plurality of mobile station devices which radio-communicate with the base station device. The base station device allocates random access signal identifiers for identifying random access signals to the mobile station devices and decides an allocation period for each of the random access signal identifiers used by the mobile base stations. During the allocation period, each of the mobile station devices transmits a random access signal corresponding to the allocated random access signal identifier. Thus, it is possible to suppress a delay until the random access procedure using a dedicated preamble is complete.
