Abstract

A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) may establish one or more protocol data unit (PDU) sessions via a radio access network (RAN) node. The WTRU may transition to an inactive state. The WTRU may send a connection resume message to a RAN node that indicates a request to resume the established plurality of PDU sessions via the RAN node. The WTRU may receive a message from the RAN node. For example, the RAN node may send a message indicating a subset of the plurality of PDU sessions that are available upon resuming a connection with the RAN node. The WTRU may deactivate at least one established PDU session of the plurality of PDU sessions based on the received message from the RAN node that indicates at least one established PDU session not being included in the subset of the plurality of PDU sessions that are available.

Claims (27)

1. A method for a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) comprising:

establishing a plurality of protocol data unit (PDU) sessions via a first radio access network (RAN) node;

transitioning to an inactive state;

sending a connection resume message to the first RAN node, wherein the connection resume message indicates a request to resume the established plurality of PDU sessions via the first RAN node;

receiving a message from the first RAN node, the message indicating that a subset of the plurality of PDU sessions are available upon resuming a connection with the first RAN node; and

deactivating at least one established PDU session of the plurality of PDU sessions based on the at least one established PDU session not being included in the subset of the plurality of PDU sessions that are available as indicated in the received message from the first RAN node.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein deactivating the at least one established PDU session comprises the WTRU performing a new registration procedure via a second RAN node.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the second RAN node is the same node as the first RAN node.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein deactivating the at least one established PDU session comprises locally releasing and removing one or more user plane (UP) resources associated with the at least one established PDU session.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein locally releasing the one or more UP resources associated with the at least one established PDU session comprises deactivating one or more data radio bearers (DRBs) associated with the at least one established PDU session.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the connection resume message and the message from the first RAN node comprise radio resource control (RRC) messages.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the message from the first RAN node further indicates a plurality of PDU session IDs that are available upon resuming the connection with the first RAN node.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the message from the first RAN node one or more active DRBs associated with the subset of the plurality of PDU sessions that are available upon resuming the connection with the first RAN node.

9. A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) comprising:

a memory; and

a processor configured to:

establish a plurality of protocol data unit (PDU) sessions via a first radio access network (RAN) node;

transition to an inactive state;

send a connection resume message to the first RAN node, wherein the connection resume message indicates a request to resume the established plurality of PDU sessions via the first RAN node;

receive a message from the first RAN node, the message indicating that a subset of the plurality of PDU sessions are available upon resuming a connection with the first RAN node; and

deactivate at least one established PDU session of the plurality of PDU sessions based on the at least one established PDU session not being included in the subset of the plurality of PDU sessions that are available as indicated in the received message from the first RAN node.

10. The WTRU of claim 9 , wherein deactivating the at least one established PDU session comprises the WTRU performing a new registration procedure via a second RAN node.

11. The WTRU of claim 10 , wherein the second RAN node is the same node as the first RAN node.

12. The WTRU of claim 9 , wherein deactivating the at least one established PDU session comprises locally releasing and removing one or more user plane (UP) resources associated with the at least one established PDU session.

13. The WTRU of claim 12 , wherein locally releasing the one or more UP resources associated with the at least one established PDU session comprises deactivating one or more data radio bearers (DRBs) associated with the at least one established PDU session.

14. The WTRU of claim 9 , wherein the connection resume message and the message from the first RAN node comprise radio resource control (RRC) messages.

15. The WTRU of claim 9 , wherein the message from the first RAN node further indicates one or more of a plurality of PDU session IDs that are available upon resuming the connection with the first RAN node or one or more active DRBs associated with the subset of the plurality of PDU sessions that are available upon resuming the connection with the first RAN node.
