Method and user equipment for initiating service request procedure
A disclosure in the present specification provides a method for user equipment initiating a service request procedure. The method includes a step of the UE receiving a paging message. The UE may be registered to both of a 3rd generation partnership project (3GPP) access and a non-3GPP access within the same PLMN. The paging message may include access type information that is used so as to indicate the non-3GPP access. The method may include a step of initiating a UE triggered service request procedure. The UE triggered service request procedure may be initiated by transmitting a service request message including a list of permitted protocol data unit (PDU) sessions. The service request message may include an empty list of the permitted PDU sessions if there is no PDU sessions that can be reactivated in the 3GPP access.
1. A method for initiating a service request procedure, the method performed by a user equipment (UE) and comprising:
receiving, by the UE, a paging message,
wherein the UE is registered in both of a 3rd generation partnership project (3GPP) access and non-3GPP access in a same Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN),
wherein the paging message includes access type information used for representing the non-3GPP access,
initiating a UE-triggered service request procedure,
wherein the UE-triggered service request procedure is initiated by transmitting a service request message including a list of allowed protocol data unit (PDU) sessions, and
wherein based on that there is no PDU session to be reactivated over the 3GPP access, the service request message includes an empty list of the allowed PDU sessions.
2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
coding all bits of PDU session identifiers (PSIs) in the list of the allowed PDU sessions as zero (0), thereby generating the empty list of the allowed PDU sessions.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the UE is in an idle state in both of the 3GPP access and the non-3GPP access.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the empty list of the allowed PDU sessions including no PSI is used for an access and mobility management function (AMF) to notify a session management function (SMF) that the UE was reachable but did not accept to reactive the PDU session.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein based on that the PDU session over the non-3GPP access is to be reactivated over the 3GPP access, the list of the allowed PDU sessions includes a PSI of the PDU session.
6. A user equipment (UE) for initiating a service request procedure, the UE comprising:
a transceiver; and
a processor configured to control the transceiver,
wherein the processor receives, through the transceiver, a paging message,
wherein the UE is registered in both of a 3rd generation partnership project (3GPP) access and non-3GPP access in a same Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN),
wherein the paging message includes access type information used for representing the non-3GPP access,
wherein the processor initiates a UE-triggered service request procedure,
wherein the UE-triggered service request procedure is initiated by transmitting a service request message including a list of allowed protocol data unit (PDU) sessions, and
wherein based on that there is no PDU session which is to be reactivated over the 3GPP access, the service request message includes an empty list of the allowed PDU sessions.
7. The UE of claim 6 , wherein the processor codes all bits of PDU session identifiers (PSIs) in the list of the allowed PDU sessions as zero (0), thereby generating the empty list of the allowed PDU sessions.
8. The UE of claim 6 , wherein the UE is in an idle state in both of the 3GPP access and the non-3GPP access.
9. The UE of claim 6 , wherein the empty list of the allowed PDU sessions including no PSI is used for an access and mobility management function (AMF) to notify a session management function (SMF) that the UE was reachable but did not accept to reactive the PDU session.
10. The UE of claim 6 , wherein, based on that the PDU session over the non-3GPP access is to be reactivated over the 3GPP access, the list of the allowed PDU sessions includes a PSI of the PDU session.
11. An access and mobility management function (AMF) node, the AMF node comprising:
at least one processor; and
at least one computer memory operably connectable to the at least one processor and storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, perform operations comprising:
transmitting a paging message for a user equipment (UE),
wherein the UE is registered in both of a 3rd generation partnership project (3GPP) access and non-3GPP access in a same Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN),
wherein the paging message includes access type information used for representing the non-3GPP access,
receiving, from the UE, a service request message including a list of allowed protocol data unit (PDU) sessions,
wherein based on that the service request message includes an empty list of the allowed PDU sessions, there is no PDU session which is to be reactivated over the 3GPP access.
12. The AMF node of claim 11 , wherein all bits of PDU session identifiers (PSIs) in the list of the allowed PDU sessions are coded with zero (0).
13. The AMF node of claim 11 , wherein the UE is in an idle state in the both of the 3GPP access and the non-3GPP access.
14. The AMF node of claim 11 , further comprising:
notifying a session management function (SMF) that the UE was reachable but did not accept to reactive the PDU session, based on the empty list of the allowed PDU sessions including no PSI.
