Abstract

Claims (30)

1. A method comprising:

receiving, by an IMS AS (Internet Protocol Multimedia Subsystem Application Server), a SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) registration message generated by a UE (User Equipment) via a P-CSCF (Proxy-Call Session Control Function) and an S-CSCF (Serving Call Session Control Function);

wherein the SIP registration message includes specific information that an IMS service is performed through MA (Multi Access) PDU (Packet Data Unit) session,

wherein the SIP registration message includes status information indicating that a state of PS Data Off of the UE is active;

receiving, by the IMS AS, a SIP request message for requesting the IMS service for the UE from the S-CSCF;

determining, by the IMS AS, whether the SIP request message corresponds to PS Data Off exempt service, based on the specific information and the status information;

including a result of the determination in the SIP request message; and

transmitting, by the IMS AS to a UPF (User Plane Function), the SIP request message with the result of the determination through the S-CSCF and the P-CSCF.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

including, by the IMS AS, the status information in the SIP request message.

3. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the SIP request message is SIP message.

4. A method comprising:

performing, by an UPF (User Plane Function), establishment of MA (Multi Access) PDU (Packet Data Unit) session for a UE (User Equipment);

receiving, by the UPF, a SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) request message for IMS (Internet Protocol Multimedia Subsystem) service for the UE, from an IMS AS (application server),

wherein the SIP request message includes status information indicating that a state of PS Data Off of the UE is active,

wherein the SIP request message includes information on whether the SIP request message corresponds to PS Data Off exempt service;

transmitting, by the UPF to the UE, a packet in the SIP request message via a non-3GPP access of the MA PDU session, based on the SIP request message not corresponding the PS Data Off exempt service; and

transmitting, by the UPF to the UE, a packet in the SIP request message via either a 3GPP access of the MA PDU session or a non-3GPP access of the MA PDU session, based on the SIP request message corresponding the PS Data Off exempt service.

5. The method of claim 4 , further comprising:

including, by the UPF, the status information in the SIP request message.

6. The method of claim 4 ,

wherein the SIP request message is SIP message.

7. A method comprising:

performing, by a UE (User Equipment), establishment of MA (Multi Access) PDU (Packet Data Unit) session;

transmitting, by the UE, a SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) registration message via a P-CSCF (Proxy-Call Session Control Function) and an S-CSCF (Serving Call Session Control Function), to an IMS AS (Internet Protocol Multimedia Subsystem Application Server),

wherein the SIP registration message includes information that an IMS (Internet Protocol Multimedia Subsystem) service is performed through the MA PDU session,

wherein the SIP registration message includes status information indicating that a state of PS Data Off of the UE is active;

receiving, by the UE from an UPF (User Plane Function), a packet in a SIP request message for requesting the IMS service for the UE via a non-3GPP access of the MA PDU session, based on the SIP request message not corresponding the PS Data Off exempt service; and

receiving, by the UE from the UPF, a packet in the SIP request message via either a 3GPP access of the MA PDU session or a non-3GPP access of the MA PDU session, based on the SIP request message corresponding the PS Data Off exempt service.
