Patent ID: 10104606

Abstract:
A user terminal capable of using an Evolved-UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access Network (E-UTRAN) and a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN), includes: a storage configured to store a Radio Access Network (RAN) rule for selecting a network, among the E-UTRAN and the WLAN, to be used in a unit of an Access Point Name (APN); a receiver configured to receive an Access Network Discovery and Selection Function (ANDSF) rule for selecting a network, among the E-UTRAN and the WLAN, to be used; and a controller configured to select a selection rule, from among the ANDSF rule and the RAN rule, to be applied to change the network, wherein the controller selects the RAN rule in a case where the user terminal has both the ANDSF rule and the RAN rule and an Inter System Routing Policy (ISRP) is not configured. The ISRP is a function, in the ANDSF rule, for selecting a network, among the E-UTRAN and the WLAN, to be used in a unit of an Internet Protocol (IP) flow.
