- the MME increases signaling to send information indicating that the PDN connection cannot be established. Can be prevented.
- permission information such as SIPTO allowed included SIPTO @ LN or SIPTO @ LN allowed only is set as the permission information set in the APN identifier. Is possible.
- the UE 50 detects that SIPTO @ LN is possible based on the notification from the MME 10 and the HeNB 30, but the fifth embodiment. Then, by setting the HeNB 30 that can be offloaded (SIPTO @ LN) via the local network to the UE 50 in advance, when the UE 50 is located in the HeNB 30, LN) Detect as possible HeNB.
- the UE 50 sets offload permission information via the local network in the HeNB, and the UE 50 requests establishment of a PDN connection for offload via the local network based on the offload permission information via the local network. .
- the UE 50 when the permission information for offloading via the local network in the HeNB is not set, the UE 50 establishes a PDN connection for offloading via the local network based on the permission information for offloading via the local network. Suppress requests.
- the UE 50 can be realized by managing the HeNB identifier.
- the UE 50 manages the HeNB identifier (HeNB30) in association with the APN identifier (APN1).
- the APN identifier is connection destination information for accessing the service.
- the HeNB identifier may be information indicating the position of the HeNB where the UE is located, and may be managed by a cell identifier, a CSG identifier, or an HeNB IP address.
- APN1 is managed in association with HeNB 30, it indicates that HeNB 30 can request a PDN connection using APN1 (SIPTO @ LN).
- APN1 SIPTO @ LN
- another service such as LIPA, SIPTO @ RN, or a network of a mobile communication carrier
- the APN identifier may be permission information for permitting a specific service.
- the SIPTO @ LN flag SIPTO @ LN is permitted or not permitted. Information).
- the UE can transmit the PDN connection request for starting the PDN connection establishment procedure of SIPTO @ LN only when SIPTO @ LN is possible.
- UE50 does not need to perform the subsequent procedure, when the offload permission information via the local network in HeNB is not set.
- the mobile communication system in this embodiment can use FIG. 1 demonstrated in 1st Embodiment similarly, the detailed description is abbreviate
