Procedure to update the parameters related to unified access control
A UE is in a connected mode over a non 3GPP access and in an idle mode over a 3GPP access. The UE receives a NOTIFICATION message from a core network node over the non-3GPP access. The UE determines, when performing a service request procedure, MT_acc=0 as an access category to be associated with the service request procedure upon receiving the NOTIFICATION message. The UE checks whether an access attempt for an access category is barred or allowed. When the access category is allowed, the UE sends a RRC connection setup request to a base station and transmits a SERVICE REQUEST message to the core network node after a RRC connection is established.
1. A method of a user equipment (UE), the method comprising:
receiving, when the UE is in a connected mode over a non 3GPP access and in an idle mode over a 3GPP access, a NOTIFICATION message from a core network node of over the non 3GPP access;
determining, when performing a service request procedure, MT_acc=0 as an access category to be associated with the service request procedure upon receiving the NOTIFICATION message;
checking whether an access attempt for the access category is barred or allowed; and
sending, when the access category is allowed, a Radio Resource Control (RRC) connection setup request to a base station and transmitting, to the core network node, a SERVICE REQUEST message after an RRC connection is established.
2. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:
sending, when the access category is barred, a NOTIFICATION RESPONSE message to the core network node over non 3GPP access, and not initiating the service request procedure to re-establish a user plane for the one or more Protocol Data Unit (PDU) sessions associated with the 3GPP access.
3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein
the RRC connection setup request includes an establishment cause associated with the access category.
4. A user equipment (UE) comprising,
a transceiver circuit and a controller;
wherein the controller is configured to:
receive, via the transceiver circuit, when the UE is in a connected mode over a non 3GPP access and in an idle mode over a 3GPP access, a NOTIFICATION message from a core network node over the non 3GPP access;
determine, when performing a service request procedure, MT_acc=0 as an access category to be associated with the service request procedure upon receiving the NOTIFICATION message;
check whether an access attempt for the access category is barred or allowed; and
send, via the transceiver circuit, when the access category is allowed, a Radio Resource Control (RRC) connection setup request to a base station and transmit, via the transceiver circuit, a SERVICE REQUEST message to the core network node after an RRC connection is established.
