Area-based access control method for terminals which carry out M2M communications in a wireless communication system

摘要

A regional access control method is provided in a Mobility Management Entity (MME) for network access for a User Equipment (UE) that performs Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communication. An access request message and location information of the UE are received from a base station. The access request message is transmitted to the MME in response to reception of the access request message at the base station from the UE. A location of the UE that is determined based on the location information of the UE, is registered in a Home Subscriber Server (HSS). An allowed list of the UE is obtained from the HSS. It is determined whether the location information of the UE is registered in the allowed list.

1. A regional access control method in a Mobility Management Entity (MME) for network access for a User Equipment (UE) that performs Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communication, the method comprising the steps of:
receiving, from a base station, an access request message and location information of the UE in response to reception of the access request message transmitted from the UE; registering, in a Home Subscriber Server (HSS), a location of the UE that is determined based on the location information of the UE; obtaining, from the HSS, an allowed list of regions to which the UE is allowed to move from the HSS; determining whether the location information of the UE is registered in the allowed list; and transmitting an access-allow message to the UE when the location information of the UE is included in the allowed list.
