1. A method of operating a user equipment (UE) for new radio (NR) unified access control, the method comprising:
determining an access category from a plurality of access categories based on an access attempt associated with the UE and at least one access identity of the UE from a plurality of access identities to be applied for the access attempt;
determining an establishment cause for the access attempt based on the access category determined from the plurality of access categories and based on the at least one access identity from the plurality of access identities; and
transmitting a connection request message for the access attempt to a wireless communication network, wherein the connection request message includes the establishment cause determined based on the access category and based on the at least one access identity.
