Abstract
A network node includes: a control unit configured to configure an information element in a field included in a message between network nodes in a case where the field is mandatory in the message between the network nodes, the message being used for performing communication configuration related to a user apparatus; and a transmission unit configured to transmit the message between the network nodes including the field in which the information element is configured, wherein the field is mandatory in the message between the network nodes in a case where a predetermined condition is satisfied.
Claims3
A base station comprising:
- a processor configured to include a specific field as a mandatory field in a message between base stations;
- and
- a transmitter configured to transmit the message between the base stations to another base station,
- wherein the specific field as the mandatory field between the base stations is regardless of a configuration of a field corresponding to the specific field in a message between a terminal and the base station, and
- wherein the field corresponding to the specific field in the message between the terminal and the base station is included in the message between the terminal and the base station in a case of a setup.
A communication method of a base station, comprising:
- including a specific field as a mandatory field in a message between base stations;
- and
- transmitting the message between the base stations to another base station
- wherein the specific field as the mandatory field between the base stations is regardless of a configuration of a field corresponding to the specific field in a message between a terminal and the base station, and
- wherein the field corresponding to the specific field in the message between the terminal and the base station is included in the message between the terminal and the base station in a case of a setup.
