Method and apparatus for performing access control in next generation wireless network

Abstract:

Disclosed is a technique for an access control operation of a user equipment (UE) in a next-generation mobile communication network, and more specifically, a unified access control method for a UE and a specific access control method for a service with low sensitivity. Further, a method of a UE is provided for performing an access control operation. The method may include receiving operator-defined access category information through non-access stratum (NAS) signaling when an access attempt of the UE is triggered, determining one access category for the access attempt in an NAS layer or an access stratum (AS) layer; selecting RRC establishment cause information associated with the access category; and performing an access barring check operation in the AS layer using access barring parameters associated with the access category.
