Abstract

This terminal device communicates with a base station device. The terminal device comprises: a reception unit that receives, from the base station device, a first configuration indicating information about one or a plurality of candidate cells; and an RRC processing unit. The RRC processing unit determines whether the terminal device is configured to provide information regarding whether a measurement gap for a target frequency band of NR is required. If it is determined that the terminal device is configured to provide the requirement information, the RRC processing unit determines whether the first configuration includes a second configuration for reporting whether a measurement gap is required in NR. If it is determined that the first configuration includes the second configuration, the RRC processing unit includes, in signaling indicating completion with respect to the first configuration, third information indicating whether a measurement gap is required in NR. If it is determined that the terminal device is not configured to provide the requirement information, or if it is determined that the first configuration does not include the second configuration, the RRC processing unit does not include the third information in the signaling indicating completion with respect to the first configuration.

Abstract

This terminal device communicates with a base station device and is equipped with a RRC processing unit. When an instruction for changing a serving cell to a candidate cell is issued from a lower layer (layer 1/layer 2) of a given cell group, the RRC processing unit determines whether to reestablish an RLC entity at the time of the serving cell change, on the basis of a setting for the candidate cell held (stored) by the RRC processing unit. When it is determined that the RLC entity is to be reestablished at the time of the serving cell change, the RRC processing unit reestablishes the RLC entity, and when it is determined that the RLC entity is not to be reestablished at the time of the serving cell change, the RRC processing unit does not reestablish the RLC entity.

Abstract

This UE is provided with a transmission/reception unit, a control unit, and a storage unit. In the UE, the storage unit stores a first counter when operating in a stand-alone non-public network (SNPN) access operation mode. The first counter is an SNPN-specific trial counter for non-3GPP access. Further, the first counter is used when a direct connection with the SNPN is performed through the non-3GPP access. The control unit increments the first counter when the transmission/reception unit receives first control information through the non-3GPP access. The first control information is a rejection reason value indicating that an N1 mode is not allowed, or that a 5GCN connection through the non-3GPP access is not allowed, is temporarily not allowed with respect to this SNPN, or is permanently not allowed with respect to this SNPN. Further, the first control information is included in a registration rejection message without integrity assurance or in a service rejection message without integrity assurance.

Abstract

This User Equipment (UE) comprises a transmission/reception unit, a control unit, and a storage unit. When the UE is operating in a stand-alone non-public network (SNPN) access operation mode, the storage unit stores a second counter. The second counter is a counter for an event for which a current SNPN entry is deemed to be invalid with respect to non-3GPP access. Furthermore, the second counter is used for direct connection to the SNPN via the non-3GPP access. The control unit increments the second counter when the transmission/reception unit receives first control information via the non-3GPP access. The first control information is a rejection reason value indicating an illicit UE, or an illicit ME, or the fact that 5GS service is not permitted. Furthermore, the first control information is included in a registration rejection message for which integrity is not guaranteed, or a service rejection message for which integrity is not guaranteed.

Abstract

Functions for implementing closed networks, such as non-public networks (NPNs), have been studied. As of the present, functions for preventing congestion when a UE returns to a home network from an NPN for a local service have been studied, but specific procedures have not been clarified. A user equipment (UE) according to the present invention comprises a transmission/reception unit and a storage unit. When the UE supports connection to a stand-alone non-public network (SNPN) for providing connection to a local service, the control unit manages a list of SNPNs that have been permanently prohibited from connecting to the local service. During a registration procedure, the transmission/reception unit receives, from a network, a registration rejection message including a reason value indicating that an SNPN is permanently unapproved. On the basis of the reason value, the control unit stores an SNPN ID in the aforementioned list, which is stored in the storage unit.

Abstract

There is not specified any behavior of UEs when the registration thereof is rejected by an NPN for local services. This user equipment (UE) comprises a transmission/reception unit, a control unit and a storage unit. The control unit manages a first list and a second list. The first list is a list of stand-alone non-public networks (SNPNs) for which the connections to local services are temporarily inhibited, while the second list is a list of SNPNs for which the connections to local services are eternally inhibited. The transmission/reception unit transmits a registration request message to a network and receives, from the network, a registration rejection message including a first reason value or a second reason value. The first reason value indicates a temporary non-approval for the SNPN. When the first reason value is received, the control unit causes, on the basis of the first reason value, a SNPN ID to be stored into the first list stored by the storage unit. The second reason value indicates an eternal non-approval for the SNPN. When the second reason value is received, the control unit causes, on the basis of the second reason value, a SNPN ID to be stored into the second list stored by the storage unit.

When this terminal device determines that a plurality of BFD-RS sets are configured with respect to a PSCell, the terminal device determines whether the values of counters associated with each of the plurality of BFD-RS sets configured with respect to the PSCell are all at or above a threshold value. On the basis of a determination that the values of the counters are all at or above the threshold value, the terminal device notifies a RRC processing unit that execution of a random access procedure for SCG activation is necessary. A PHY processing unit notifies a MAC processing unit of beam failure instances per each BFD-RS set. The counters are prepared per each BFD-RS set of the PSCell with respect to which the BFD_RS sets are configured, and are used to count the beam failure instances notified from the PHY processing unit.
