Abstract

Currently, studies are underway to have a UE recognize a session for a local service by using the identifier of the local service. However, the behavior of the UE when the local service to the UE is rejected from the network has not been clarified. When common DNN and S-NSSAI are used with respect to different local services, this user equipment (UE) transmits, to a core network, a PDU session establishment request message including the identifier of a local service, and receives, from the core network, a PDU session establishment rejection message including a cause value indicating that the local service corresponding to the identifier of the local service is not available. The UE, upon receiving the cause value, recognizes that the local service is not available.

Abstract

Functions for implementing closed networks, such as non-public networks (NPNs), have been studied. Currently, it has been studied that a UE recognizes a session for a local service by using the identifier of the local service. However, the specific procedure by which the UE obtains the identifier of the local service is not clear. When common DNN and S-NSSAI are used for different local services, the user equipment (UE) receives a registration acceptance message or a configuration update command message, which includes first identification information. The first identification information is the identifier of a local service. The UE recognizes the identifier of an available local service when the first identification information is received, and transmits a PDU session establishment request message including the first identification information.

Abstract

The present invention comprises a reception unit that receives a first PDCCH in which first DCI is disposed, a second PDCCH in which second DCI is disposed, and a PDSCH that is scheduled according to the second DCI. A PDSCH-MTRP method is set to be applied for the purpose of the PDSCH. The PDSCH-MTRP method includes some or all of an SFN method, an FDM method, a TDM method, and an SDM method. The first DCI indicates a first TCI state and a second TCI state. Whether one or both of the first TCI state and the second TCI state is to be applied to the PDSCH is determined on the basis of a higher-layer parameter. If one from among the first TCI state and the second TCI state is to be applied to the PDSCH, then the PDSCH-MTRP method is not applied to the PDSCH. If both the first TCI state and the second TCI state are to be applied to the PDSCH, then the PDSCH-MTRP method is applied to the PDSCH.

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

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.

Abstract

An access node of a cellular telecommunication system comprises processor circuitry which is configured to make a determination whether one or more default mapping schemes, for mapping virtual resource blocks to physical resource blocks, would map a virtual resource block of a physical downlink channel, to a physical resource block which is unavailable for the physical downlink channel. In a case that the determination is positive, to the processor circuitry is configured to preclude mapping of the virtual resource block of the physical downlink channel to a physical resource block that is unavailable for the physical downlink channel. Methods of operating such access nodes are also provided.
