Method for allowing user equipment to detach from network entity
A method for allowing a user equipment (UE) to detach from a network entity is provided. The method includes detecting that the UE is not registered with the network entity while the UE is in an area previously registered with the network entity. Further, the method includes sending a detach indication to the network entity to detach a service to the UE.
1. A method by a user equipment (UE), the method comprising:
transmitting, to a network entity, an area update request message;
receiving, from the network entity, an area update reject message including information associated with congestion of the network entity; and
transmitting, if the UE is in an ATTEMPTING TO UPDATE state in response to the area update reject message including the information and a T 3246 timer is running, a detach indication to the network entity to detach a service to the UE, the detach indication being used to remove UE context information.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the detach indication comprises an international mobile subscriber identity detach indication.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the UE context information is removed to detach the service to the UE if the detach indication is transmitted to the network entity.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the area update request message includes at least one of a location area update request message, a tracking area update request message, or a routing area update request message.
5. A user equipment (UE) for detaching from a network entity, the UE comprising:
a transceiver; and
at least one processor configured to control the transceiver to:
transmit, to a network entity, an area update request message,
receive, from the network entity, an area update reject message including information associated with congestion of the network entity, and
transmit, if the UE is in an ATTEMPTING TO UPDATE state in response to the area update reject message including the information and a T 3246 timer is running, a detach indication to the network entity to detach a service to the UE, the detach indication being used to remove UE context information.
6. The UE of claim 5 , wherein the detach indication comprises an international mobile subscriber identity detach indication.
7. The UE of claim 5 , wherein the area update request message includes at least one of a location area update request message, a tracking area update request message, or a routing area update request message.
8. The UE of claim 5 , wherein
the UE context information is removed to detach the service to the UE if the detach indication is transmitted to the network entity.
9. A network entity, the network entity comprising:
a transceiver; and
at least one processor configured to control the transceiver to:
receive, from a user equipment (UE), an area update request message,
transmit, to the UE, an area update reject message including information associated with congestion of the network entity, and
receive, if the UE is in an ATTEMPTING TO UPDATE state in response to the area update reject message including the information and a T 3246 timer is running, a detach indication from the UE,
wherein the detach indication is used to remove UE context information.
10. The network entity of claim 9 , wherein the detach indication comprises an international mobile subscriber identity detach indication.
11. The network entity of claim 10 , wherein
the area update request message includes at least one of a location area update request message, a tracking area update request message, or a routing area update request message.
12. A method by a network entity, the method comprising:
receiving, from a user equipment (UE), an area update request message;
transmitting, to the UE, an area update reject message including information associated with congestion of the network entity; and
receiving, if the UE is in an ATTEMPTING TO UPDATE state in response to the area update reject message including the information and a T 3246 timer is running, a detach indication from the UE,
wherein the detach indication is used to remove UE context information.
13. The method of claim 12 , wherein the detach indication comprises an international mobile subscriber identity detach indication.
14. The method of claim 12 ,
wherein the area update request message includes at least one of a location area update request message, a tracking area update request message, or a routing area update request message.
