    Publication number: 20220279378
    Abstract: According to an aspect of the present invention, a mobile terminal apparatus and an intra-core network apparatus do not enable congestion control during connection of a mobile terminal apparatus to a non-public network (NPN) in 5GS. Alternatively, during connection of the mobile terminal apparatus to the NPN in 5GS, the mobile terminal apparatus and the intra-core network apparatus enable congestion control only in a public land mobile network (PLMN) specific to the congestion control to provide a congestion control method in an NAS level to the mobile terminal apparatus being connected to the non-public network (NPN) and the intra-core network apparatus in 5GS.
