Abstract

A method for transmitting and receiving a signal related to switching 3rd generation partnership project (3GPP) access to a 5th generation system (5GS) in an evolved packet system (EPS) in a wireless communication system includes: a step in which a second access and mobility management function (AMF) receives a message, related to a registration request and including a first 5G globally unique temporary identifier (5G-GUTI), from a UE that receives non-3GPP access service through the 5GS and 3GPP access service through the EPS; and a step in which the second AMF transmits to the UE, a message related to a registration acceptance and including a second 5G-GUTI. The first 5G-GUTI includes ID information on the first AMF which serves the non-3GPP access of the UE, and the second 5G-GUTI includes ID information on the second AMF which serves both the non-3GPP access and the 3GPP access of the UE.

Claims (23)

1. A method of transceiving signals related to switching of 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) access from Evolved Packet System (EPS) to 5th Generation System (5GS) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving, by a second Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF), a registration request message from a User Equipment (UE), the registration request message including a first 5G-Globally Unique Temporary Identifier (5G-GUTI) allocated by a first AMF; and

transmitting, by the second AMF, a message related to a registration acceptance to the UE, the message including a second 5G-GUTI,

wherein the registration request message is received by the second AMF based on the switching of the 3GPP access of the UE from the EPS to the 5GS,

wherein the first 5G-GUTI includes identification (ID) information of the first AMF serving the non-3GPP access of the UE, and

wherein the second 5G-GUTI is related to the second AMF serving both of the non-3GPP access and the 3GPP access of the UE.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second AMF makes a request for a transfer of context of the UE to the first AMF and receives the context of the UE from the first AMF.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second AMF registers with Unified Data Management (UDM) that the second AMF is a serving AMF for the non-3GPP access and the 3GPP access of the UE.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein based on that the first AMF is different from the second AMF, the first AMF is released from a serving AMF of the UE.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the message related to the registration acceptance includes information representing that the second AMF serves the non-3GPP access of the UE.

6. An apparatus for a registration procedure related to switching of 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) access from Evolved Packet System (EPS) to 5th Generation System (5GS) in a wireless communication system, the apparatus comprising:

a memory; and

at least one processor coupled to the memory,

wherein the at least one processor is configured to control a second Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF) to:

receive, from a User Equipment (UE), a registration request message including a first 5G-Globally Unique Temporary Identifier (5G-GUTI) allocated by a first AMF, and

transmit, to the UE, a message related to a registration acceptance, the message including a second 5G-GUTI,

wherein the registration request message is received by the second AMF based on the switching of the 3GPP access of the UE from the EPS to the 5GS,

wherein the first 5G-GUTI includes identification (ID) information of the first AMF serving the non-3GPP access of the UE, and

wherein the second 5G-GUTI is related to the second AMF serving both of the non-3GPP access and the 3GPP access of the UE.

7. The apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the second AMF makes a request for a transfer of context of the UE to the first AMF and receives the context of the UE from the first AMF.

8. The apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the second AMF registers with Unified Data Management (UDM) that the second AMF is a serving AMF for the non-3GPP access and the 3GPP access of the UE.

9. The apparatus of claim 6 , wherein, based on that the first AMF is different from the second AMF, the first AMF is released from a serving AMF of the UE.

10. The apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the message related to the registration acceptance includes information representing that the second AMF serves the non-3GPP access of the UE.
