Abstract
A user equipment includes a step of receiving network slice restriction information related to a network slice to be provided with a restrictive condition from a base station or a core network apparatus. The restrictive condition is a condition for restricting use of the network slice. The network slice restriction information includes an identifier for identifying the network slice and information indicating the restrictive condition.
Claims7
A communication control method executed by a user equipment (UE) configured to be connected with a base station, the method comprising:
- receiving, from the base station, network slice restriction information related to a network slice, the network slice restriction information comprising an identifier of the network slice and a restrictive condition for restricting usage of the network slice;
- determining, based on the network slice restriction information, whether the restriction condition is satisfied;
- upon determining that the restriction condition is satisfied, performing control to avoid usage of the network slice;
- and
- upon determining that the restriction condition is no longer satisfied while performing the control to avoid the usage of the network slice, starting the usage of the network slice.

A user equipment comprising:
- a receiver configured to receive network slice restriction information from a base station, the network slice restriction information being related to a network slice, the network slice restriction information comprising an identifier of the network slice and a restrictive condition for restricting usage of the network slice, and
- a controller configured to:
- determine based on the network slice restriction information, whether the restriction condition is satisfied;
- upon determining that the restriction condition is satisfied, perform control to avoid usage of the network slice;
- and
- upon determining that the restriction condition is no longer satisfied while performing the control to avoid the usage of the network slice, start the usage of the network slice.
