POLICY DETERMINATION SYSTEM, POLICY DETERMINATION METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE MEDIUM

摘要

A policy determination system (500) according to an aspect of the present invention is arranged in a core network (10) and capable of communicating with a control apparatus (100) arranged in a radio access network (20). The control apparatus (100) is configured to perform control related to a state transition between a CONNECTED state and an IDLE state of a mobile terminal (300) based on a state control policy supplied from the policy determination system. The policy determination system (500) includes a policy determination unit (502) that determines a state control policy according to a situation of the mobile terminal (300), and a notification unit (503 or 205) that notifies the control apparatus (100) of the state control policy. This enables, for example, to reduce the number of signalings which are caused due to repetition of state transition (CONNECTED-IDLE transition) of the mobile terminal and are to be processed by the core network, based on the determination by the core network.
