Abstract

This disclosure is related to a procedure of handling UE ( 100 ) behavior when the UE ( 100 ) is attached for emergency services. More specifically this disclosure defines the UE ( 100 ) behavior when the UE ( 100 ) is registered to a PLMN or two different PLMN via 3GPP access network and non-3GPP access network and UE ( 100 ) has is registered for emergency service over one of the 3GPP access network or non-3GPP access network.

Claims (43)

1. A method of a User Equipment (UE), the method comprising:

performing registration procedure to a Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) over a second access network for a non-emergency service through an Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF) in a case where the UE is registered through the AMF for an emergency service to the PLMN over a first access network; and

establishing a Protocol Data Unit (PDU) session for the non-emergency service to the PLMN over the second access network,

wherein one of the first access network and the second access network is a 3GPP access network, and the other of the first access network and the second access network is a non-3GPP access network.

2. A method of a User Equipment (UE), the method comprising:

performing registration procedure to a Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) over a first access network for a first emergency service through an Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF);

establishing a first Protocol Data Unit (PDU) session for the first emergency service over the first access network;

performing registration procedure to the PLMN over a second access network for a second emergency service through the AMF in a case where the UE is registered for the first emergency service to the PLMN over the first access network and the second access network becomes available;

establishing a second PDU session for the second emergency service over the second access network; and

performing handover of a PDU session procedure from the first access network to the second access network after establishing the second PDU session for the second emergency service.

3. The method according to claim 2 ,

establishing the first PDU session through a Session Management Function (SMF); and

establishing the second PDU session through the SMF.

4. The method according to claim 2 ,

wherein the second PDU session is established with a PDU Session ID, and

wherein the PDU Session ID is used for establishing the first PDU session.

5. The method according to claim 2 , further comprising:

using a PDU Session ID of the first PDU session to be moved to the second access network in case of establishing the second PDU session.

6. The method according to claim 2 , further comprising:

using a PDU Session ID of the first PDU session in case of establishing the second PDU session.

7. A User Equipment (UE) comprising:

a memory; and

at least one hardware processor coupled to the memory,

wherein the at least one hardware processor is configured to:

perform registration procedure to a Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) over a second access network for a non-emergency service through an Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF) in a case where the UE is registered through the AMF for an emergency service to the PLMN over a first access network; and

establish a Protocol Data Unit (PDU) session for the non-emergency service to the PLMN over the second access network,

wherein one of the first access network and the second access network is a 3GPP access network, and the other of the first access network and the second access network is a non-3GPP access network.

8. A User Equipment (UE) comprising:

a memory; and

at least one hardware processor coupled to the memory,

wherein the at least one hardware processor is configured to:

perform registration procedure to a Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) over a first access network for a first emergency service through an Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF);

establish a first Protocol Data Unit (PDU) session for the first emergency service over the first access network;

perform registration procedure to the PLMN over a second access network for a second emergency service through the AMF in a case where the UE is registered for the first emergency service to the PLMN over the first access network and the second access network becomes available;

establish a second PDU session for the second emergency service over the second access network; and

perform handover of a PDU session procedure from the first access network to the second access network after establishing the second PDU session for the second emergency service.

9. The UE according to claim 8 ,

wherein the second PDU session is established with a PDU Session ID, and

wherein the PDU Session ID is used for establishing the first PDU session.

10. The UE according to claim 8 ,

wherein the at least one hardware processor is configured to use a PDU Session ID of the first PDU session to be moved to the second access network in case of establishing the second PDU session.

11. The UE according to claim 8 , wherein the at least one hardware processor is configured to use a PDU Session ID of the first PDU session in case of establishing the second PDU session.

12. The UE according to claim 8 , wherein the first PDU session is established through a Session Management Function (SMF), and the second PDU session is established through the SMF.
