A communication method for a communication terminal that communicates with a communication system including a control plane apparatus and a plurality of network slice systems, the communication method comprising:

• sending a first message including an identity of the communication terminal and information on the plurality of network slice systems to the control plane apparatus;
• receiving a second message including whether authentication of the communication terminal has succeeded or not for information on each of the plurality of network slice systems associated with the identity of the communication terminal from the control plane apparatus;
• and
• in a case where the authentication has failed, receiving a cause value on the failure of the authentication from the control plane apparatus.
