Then, MME50, to indicate the setting of the path for transmitting and receiving user data between the eNB40 and SGW60, it sends a Modify Bearer Request message to the SGW60 (S21). SGW60 further in order to set a path for transmitting and receiving user data between the PGW70, sends a Modify Bearer Request message to the PGW70.
[0067]
 In the process up to step S21, the transmission path of the user data is established, UE 30 transmits a UDP (User Datagram Protocol) / IP (Internet Protocol) packets to eNB 40 (S22). Further, eNB 40 transmits the UDP / IP packet to SGW60 (S23). Further, MME50 receives the Modify Bearer Response message from SGW60 as a response to the Modify Bearer Request message in step S21 (S24).
[0068]
 Then, SGW60 is to eNB 40, sends the UDP / IP packets destined for UE 30 (S25). Then, eNB 40 transmits the received UDP / IP packet to the UE 30 (S26).
[0069]
 Then, UE 30 transmits a Measurement Report message indicating the results of measuring the reception quality or the like of a signal transmitted from the eNB around the eNB 40 to the eNB 40 (S27).
[0070]
 Then, eNB 40 releases the Inactivity Timer showing a radio communication period between the UE 30, or detects that the Inactivity Timer has expired (S28).
[0071]
 Then, eNB 40, in order to request to release the radio bearer is set between the UE 30, and transmits a UE Context Release Request message to MME50 (S29). Then, MME50 sends a UE Context Release Command message instructing to release the radio bearer between UE30 and the eNB 40 to the eNB 40 (S30). Then, eNB 40, in order to release the radio bearer between the UE 30, and transmits the RRC Connection Release message to the UE 30 (S31). Then, eNB 40 transmits a UE Context Release Complete message indicating that it has released the radio bearer between the UE30 to MME50 (S32).
[0072]
 When following the flow of the processing shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, a IoT device UE30 transmits small data as user data. That, UE 30 transmits small data as UDP / IP packet in step S22. Further, even UE30 is IoT devices, in between UE30 and eNB 40, as if UE30 is smartphone, security setting is performed in step S16 and S17.
[0073]
 Subsequently, the flow of Attach processing according to the second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. Attach process, when the power source of the UE30 is shifted to the ON state, a process that is performed to register the UE30 to the network.
[0074]
 First, UE 30, when the power is turned on by the user, and transmits the RRC Connection Request message to the eNB 40 (S41). Then, eNB 40 transmits an RRC Connection Setup message to UE30 as a response to the RRC Connection Request message (S42).
[0075]
 Then, UE 30 transmits an RRC Connection Setup complete message to the eNB 40 (S43). UE 30 is a NAS message in the RRC Connection Setup complete message, NAS: the ATTACH message, sets the profile information about the UE 30. ATTACH message may be a ATTACH REQUEST message.
[0076]
 UE30, for example, Traffic Channel (U-Plane) garbage, low security request information, and at least one of handover processing garbage NAS: set to ATTACH message.
[0077]
 Or, UE 30 as profile information, category information indicated by the bit string of 3 bits NAS: may be set to ATTACH message. Moreover, the presence or absence of the flag may indicate them.
[0078]
 Then, eNB 40 may, NAS: sends the Initial UE message that sets the ATTACH message to MME50 (S44). NAS: ATTACH message, NAS is transmitted from the UE 30: it is a ATTACH message.
[0079]
 MME50 is, NAS is transmitted from the eNB 40: When receiving the ATTACH message, executes an Attach process between the UE 30 (S45). Attach processing executed in step S45, the procedure defined in 3GPP (TS 23.401 5.3.2.1 Section, etc.) it is executed. Here will be omitted the detailed procedure of the Attach process.
[0080]
 MME50 completes the Attach processing relating UE30 in step S45, sends an ATTACH the accept message to UE30 via eNB 40 (S46 and S47). Here, MME50 is, NAS received in step S44: ATTACH message to Traffic Channel unnecessary information, if at least one of the low-security request information and the handover process required information has been set, the radio resource used for communication of user data setting procedure, it determines whether the omission of security setup procedure between the UE 30, and the handover process is at least one of be eliminated can be indicated to the eNB 40.
[0081]
 MME50 the setting procedure of radio resource used for communication of user data, if the security setting omission of steps between the UE 30, that and the handover process is at least one of be eliminated can be indicated to the eNB 40, ATTACH setting the EPC type to S1 message carrying the accept message. EPC type are setting procedure of radio resource used for communication of user data, indicate that the security setting omission of steps between the UE 30, that and the handover process is at least one of be eliminated can be indicated to the eNB40 ing. Also, if MME50 the setting procedure of radio resource used for communication of user data, which can indicate security settings omission of steps between the UE 30, and the handover process is at least one of be unnecessary to UE 30 , sets the EPC type to ATTACH the accept message. EPC type are setting procedure of radio resource used for communication of user data, indicate that the security setting omission of steps between the UE 30, that and the handover process is at least one of be eliminated can be indicated to the UE 30 ing.
[0082]
 Then, eNB 40 transmits an ATTACH the accept message sent from MME50 to UE 30 (S47).
[0083]
 As described above, UE 30 by executing an Attach process, it is possible to receive the ATTACH the accept message EPCtype is set. Than this, UE 30 can grasp whether it is possible to instruct the omission of security setup procedure between the wireless resource configuration instructions and UE 30 to be used for communication MME50 user data to eNB 40.
[0084]
 Further, in FIG. 7, UE 30 does not set the profile information of UE 30 in the RRC message in step S41. Therefore, UE 30, at step S42, eNB 40 does not receive the eNB type indicating whether it is possible to omit part of the processing of the process for establishing the wireless link. Part of the process of establishing a radio link, for example, a security setting procedure between the radio resource configuration procedure and UE30 used for communication of the user data.
[0085]
 UE30 simultaneously with the execution of the Attach process, there is a possibility that the UE30 is not performed transmission of small data. Than this, UE 30, at the time of Attach processing, as there is no need to receive the eNB type from eNB 40, may not transmit the profile information in step S41.
[0086]
 On the other hand, when performing the small data transmission during Attach process, UE 30 may set the profile information of UE 30 in step S41. Furthermore, UE 30 is, NAS in step S43: Apart from the profile information set in ATTACH message may set the profile information can be processed RRC message in eNB 40.
[0087]
 ENB to communicate with UE30 during Attach process, the case is identical to the eNB to communicate with UE30 when small data transmission, for example, the following situation.
(1) UE 30 situation does not move
(2) UE 30 is present in very close to the eNB 40, even if the wireless environment around the UE 30 is changed, eNB communication destination UE 30 does not change status
[0088]
 eNB40, when the profile information UE30 is set in step S41, the RRC Connection Setup message set the eNB type may be sent to UE30 in step S42. Further, eNB 40, even if the profile information of the UE30 is not set in step S41, the RRC Connection Setup message set the eNB type may be sent to UE30 in step S42. Or, eNB 40, when the profile information UE30 is set to RRC messages step S43, the ATTACH the accept message set the eNB type may be sent to UE30 in step S47. Further, eNB 40, even if the profile information of the UE30 to RRC message in step S43 is not set, the RRC message that carries the ATTACH the accept message set the eNB type may be sent to UE30 in step S47 .
[0089]
 Subsequently, the flow of transmission processing of small data according to the second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. In Figure 8, Attach processing related UE30 is completed, it is assumed that UE30 is IDLE state.
[0090]
 First, UE 30 transmits an RRC Connection Request message to the eNB 40 (S51). Then, eNB 40 transmits an RRC Connection Setup message to UE30 as a response to the RRC Connection Request message (S52).
[0091]
 UE30 is an RRC Connection Request message may be sent to the eNB40 set the profile information in step S51. In this case, eNB 40 sets the eNB type in RRC Connection Setup message in step S52.
[0092]
 Then, UE 30 transmits an RRC Connection Setup Complete message to the eNB 40 (S53). Here, UE 30, when receiving the eNB type and EPC type, NAS sets the profile information and small data: sets the Service Request message to the RRC Connection Setup Complete message. For example, UE 30 as profile information, and setting the Traffic Channel unnecessary information and low security request information.
[0093]
 UE30, at step S51, if not set the profile information to the RRC message, to set the profile information to RRC Connection Setup Complete message. That, UE 30 sets profile information to both the RRC message and the NAS message.
[0094]
 Then, eNB 40 may, NAS is transmitted from the UE 30: transmits the Initial UE message that sets the Service Request message to MME50 (S54).
[0095]
 Then, MME50 sends the Initial Context Setup Request message to the eNB 40 (S55). MME50 by sending an Initial Context Setup Request message, the setting procedure of radio resource used for communication of user data, omitting the security setting procedure between the UE 30, and the handover process is that the unnecessary eNB40 it may be notified to.
[0096]
 Omission of the radio resource configuration procedure used to communicate user data, for example, may be to omit the processing of steps S18 ~ S32 of FIG. 9. Optional security setup procedure, may be to omit the processing of step S16 and step S17.
[0097]
 MME50 is the Initial Context Setup Request message by not setting the updated security Key Canada, may notify the omission of security setup procedure to eNB 40. Furthermore, MME50 by setting a flag or the like, may notify the eNB40 to omit the setting procedure of radio resource used for communication of user data.
[0098]
 eNB40 is, after receiving the Initial Context Setup Request message in step S55, the processing in step S16 and subsequent FIGS. 9 and 10 are omitted.
[0099]
 Then, MME50 sends a GTP-C message set the small data received in step S54 to SGW60 (S56). GTP-C message is a control data transmitted and received between the MME50 and SGW60. Then, SGW60 transmits the GTP-U message set the small data received in step S56 to PGW70 (S57). GTP-U message is user data to be transmitted and received between the SGW60 the PGW70. SGW60 is may be transmitted to the PGW70 a GTP-C message set the small data received in step S56 (S57).
[0100]
 UE 30, if not received eNB type and EPC type, without transmitting the profile information, UE 30, eNB 40, and the processing of FIG. 9 and FIG. 10 may be performed by MME50. That is, the setting procedure and security setting procedure of radio resource used for communication of user data is performed without omitting. And if UE30 has not received the eNB type and EPC type, when eNB40 and MME50 does not correspond to the default security setting procedure between the radio resource configuration procedure and UE30 used for communication of the user data it is.
[0101]
 Further, UE 30 has received the eNB type, when having not received the EPC type, transmits the profile information, security setting procedure between the wireless resource configuration instructions and UE 30 to be used for communication with the user data it may request the omission.
[0102]
 And if UE30 is receiving only eNB type are eNB 40 is corresponds to the default security setting procedure between the radio resource configuration procedure and UE30 used for communication of the user data, is MME50, the omission of security setup procedure between the wireless resource configuration instructions and UE30 used for communication of the user data is not be compatible.
[0103]
 In this case, for example, eNB 40 is omitted, in step S55, even if updated security Key is sent, by not transmitting the Security Mode Command at step S16 in FIG. 9, the processing in step S16 and S17 it may be so.
[0104]
 Further, eNB 40 is the profile information transmitted from the UE 30, recognizes that UE 30 to send small data. Therefore, UE 30, at step S30, even if the skip instruction for setting procedure of radio resource used for communication of user data is not notified, may be omitted the step S18 and subsequent steps in FIG.
[0105]
 Further, eNB 40, as the profile information from the UE 30, if the handover process unnecessary information is transmitted, it is possible to omit the handover processing relating to UE 30. The handover process regarding UE 30, for example, include processing for monitoring the radio quality such as the UE 30. Therefore, eNB 40, by omitting the handover processing relating to UE 30, it is possible to reduce the processing load of the apparatus.
[0106]
 As described above, the eNB 40 and MME50, can be in accordance with the profile information of UE 30, omit the messages transmitted and received between the UE 30 and eNB 40. Thus, it is possible to reduce the number of messages that UE 30 to send and receive, it is possible to suppress the power consumption of the UE 30. As a result, it is possible to reduce the frequency of battery replacement battery charging operation and UE 30 of UE 30.
[0107]
 Furthermore, UE 30 is, eNB 40 and MME50 is, if the omission of security setup procedure between the wireless resource configuration instructions and UE 30 to be used to communicate user data does not correspond, the procedure of transmitting a small data as user data it can be executed.
[0108]
 This, in the communication system, even when the eNB40 and MME50 which the omission of security setting procedure is not compatible between the setting procedure and UE 30 radio resources are mixed, UE 30 is, IoT server small data it can be sent to 80.
[0109]
 Furthermore, UE 30 is, by using the handover processing unnecessary information as profile information, it is possible to realize a reduction in processing load in the eNB 40.
