Abstract
A location management device function is provided in an access network, and a base station identifies and authenticates a terminal device permitted to perform base station loopback communication on the basis of identification information on the terminal device received from the terminal device. With this configuration, provided is a communication control method and the like for the base station device that has lost connectivity to a core network, to permit only specific terminals to perform base station loopback communication.
Claims24
A base station device configured to:
- transmit, to a terminal device, a notification message indicating that the base station device is in a first state where connectivity to a core network is lost and/or a second state where a restriction on connectivity to the core network is imposed;
- receive an attach request message from the terminal device;
- when the attach request message includes permission information,
- transmit an attach permission message to the terminal device as a response to the attach request message,
- the permission information being permission information indicating that communication based on an isolated E-UTRAN function is permitted,
- the isolated E-UTRAN function being a function of the base station device or a gateway transferring user data when the base station device is in the first state where connectivity to the core network is lost and/or the second state where the restriction on connectivity to the core network is imposed;
- and
- when the attach request message does not include the permission information,
- transmit an attach reject message to the terminal device as a response to the attach request message.
A terminal device configured to:
- transmit an attach request message to a base station device;
- and
- receive an attach reject message that is a response to the attach request message and includes at least cause information indicating that establishing a connection to an isolated E-UTRAN is not permitted, the isolated E-UTRAN being an access network having the base station device in a first state where connectivity to a core network is lost and/or a second state where a restriction on connectivity to the core network is imposed.
A terminal device having a first packet data network (PDN) connection established with a core network, an isolated E-UTRAN function being a function of a base station device or a gateway transferring user data when the base station device is in a first state where connectivity to the core network is lost and/or a second state where a restriction on connectivity to the core network is imposed,
- the terminal device being configured to:
- receive, from the base station device, a notification message indicating that the base station device is in the first state and/or the second state;
- detach the first PDN connection on the basis of the notification message;
- when permission information indicating that communication based on the isolated E-UTRAN function is permitted is stored,
- initiate an attach procedure by transmitting, to the base station device, an attach request message including at least the permission information;
- and
- when permission information indicating that communication based on the isolated E-UTRAN function is permitted is not stored,
- not initiate the attach procedure.
A communication control method for a base station device, comprising the steps of:
- transmitting, to a terminal device, a notification message indicating that the base station device is in a first state where connectivity to a core network is lost and/or a second state where a restriction on connectivity to the core network is imposed;
- receiving an attach request message from the terminal device;
- when the attach request message includes permission information,
- transmitting an attach permission message to the terminal device as a response to the attach request message, the permission information being permission information indicating that communication based on an isolated E-UTRAN function is permitted,
- the isolated E-UTRAN function being a function of the base station device or a gateway transferring user data when the base station device is in the first state where connectivity to the core network is lost and/or the second state where a restriction on connectivity to the core network is imposed;
- and
- when the attach request message does not include the permission information,
- transmitting an attach reject message to the terminal device as a response to the attach request message.
A communication control method for a terminal device, comprising the steps of:
- transmitting an attach request message to a base station device;
- and
- receiving an attach reject message that is a response to the attach request message and includes at least cause information indicating that establishing a connection to an isolated E-UTRAN is not permitted,
- the isolated E-UTRAN being an access network having the base station device in a first state where connectivity to a core network is lost and/or a second state where a restriction on connectivity to the core network is imposed.
A communication control method for a terminal device, comprising the steps of:
- establishing a first packet data network (PDN) connection with a core network to allow the terminal device to communicate, an isolated E-UTRAN function being a function of a base station device or a gateway transferring user data when the base station device is in a first state where connectivity to the core network is lost and/or a second state where a restriction on connectivity to the core network is imposed,
- receiving, from the base station device, a notification message indicating that the base station device is in the first state and/or the second state;
- detach the first PDN connection on the basis of the notification message;
- and
- only when at least permission information indicating that communication based on the isolated E-UTRAN function is permitted is stored,
- initiating an attach procedure by transmitting, to the base station device, an attach request message including at least the permission information.
