Abstract

Described herein is a system and method in a user equipment (UE) supporting registration using third generation partnership project (3GPP) access and using non-3GPP access, the method comprising storing, in a memory of the UE, first emergency information received using first registration procedures; receiving, by the UE, a REGISTRATION ACCEPT message using second registration procedures via non-3GPP access; and keeping, in the memory, the first emergency information after receiving the REGISTRATION ACCEPT message.

Claims (31)

1. A method in a user equipment (UE) supporting registration using third generation partnership project (3GPP) access and using non-3GPP access, the method comprising:

storing, by the UE, first emergency information received using first registration procedures;

receiving, by the UE communicating with a 5G Core, a REGISTRATION ACCEPT message using second registration procedures via non-3GPP access; and

keeping, by the UE, the first emergency information after receiving the REGISTRATION ACCEPT message.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first registration procedures comprise registration procedures with a first network.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the registration procedures with the first network comprise registration procedures via 3GPP access.

4. The method of claim 2 , wherein the second registration procedures comprise registration procedures with a second network.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the first network and the second network are different.

6. The method of claim 2 , wherein the first emergency information is valid at the first network.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising storing, by the UE, an indication of an access type via which the first emergency information was received.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the REGISTRATION ACCEPT message contains no emergency information.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first emergency information comprises an extended emergency number list information element (IE) or data from an extended emergency number list IE.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the REGISTRATION ACCEPT message is received from a network of a different country than a country associated with a current location of the UE.

11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the REGISTRATION ACCEPT message contains second emergency information.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein keeping the first emergency information comprises discarding the second emergency information.

13. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first or second registration procedures comprise registering a presence of the UE by at least one of a tracking area update procedure, an attach procedure in an evolved packet system (EPS), or a registration procedure in a 5G system (5GS).

14. A user equipment (UE) supporting registration using third generation partnership project (3GPP) access and using non-3GPP access, the UE comprising:

a memory; and

a processor coupled to the memory, the processor configured to:

store first emergency information received using first registration procedures;

receive, via communication with a 5G Core, a REGISTRATION ACCEPT message using second registration procedures via non-3GPP access; and

keep the first emergency information after receiving the REGISTRATION ACCEPT message.

15. The UE of claim 14 , wherein the first registration procedures comprise registration procedures with a first network via 3GPP access.

16. The UE of claim 15 , wherein the second registration procedures comprise registration procedures with a second network.

17. The UE of claim 14 , wherein the processor is further configured to store an indication of an access type via which the first emergency information was received.

18. The UE of claim 14 , wherein the first emergency information comprises an extended emergency number list information element (IE) or data from an extended emergency number list IE.

19. The UE of claim 14 , wherein the REGISTRATION ACCEPT message is received from a network of a different country than a country associated with a current location of the UE.

20. A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions that when executed by a user equipment (UE) supporting registration using third generation partnership project (3GPP) access and using non-3GPP access, cause the UE to:

store first emergency information received using first registration procedures;

receive, via communication with a 5G Core, a REGISTRATION ACCEPT message using second registration procedures via non-3GPP access; and

keep the first emergency information after receiving the REGISTRATION ACCEPT message.
