2. A communication control method performed by a User Equipment (UE), the method comprising:
transmitting, to a core network, a request message including first identification information for requesting communication of a Non-Access Stratum (NAS) message including user data;
receiving, as a response to the request message, an accept message from the core network;
detecting that the communication of the NAS message including the user data is performable, based on second identification information that is associated with the communication of the NAS message including the user data and that is included in the accept message; and
transmitting the NAS message including the user data to the core network after receiving the accept message,
wherein
in a case of requesting a use of the communication of the NAS message including the user data, the UE passes the first identification information from a NAS layer in the UE to a Radio Resource Control (RRC) layer in the UE, and
the UE is a UE supporting a Cellular Internet of Things (CIoT)-related function.
