Methods for protocol enhancements in 5G NAS
Methods, systems, and apparatuses for protocol data unit (PDU) session management over different access technologies (ATS) are disclosed. A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) may receive a first message from a network over a first access technology. The first message may include an indication for the WTRU to reestablish resources for one or more protocol data unit (PDU) sessions over a second access technology. The WTRU may determine that a PDU session of the one or more PDU sessions is locally deactivated by the WTRU. The WTRU may send a second message via the first access technology. The second message may include a PDU session status information element (IE) indicating the PDU session is locally deactivated such that the network releases the PDU session.
1. A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) comprising a processor and memory configured to:
receive a first message from a network via a first access technology, the first message comprising an indication for the WTRU to reestablish resources for a protocol data unit (PDU) session, wherein the PDU session is associated with a second access technology and is locally de-activated at the WTRU; and
send a second message via the first access technology, the second message comprising a PDU session status information element (IE) indicating the PDU session is locally deactivated.
2. The WTRU of claim 1 further configured to:
determine that the WTRU is in a limited service state associated with the second access technology.
3. The WTRU of claim 1 further configured to:
register with the network via both the first access technology and the second access technology.
4. The WTRU of claim 1 wherein the first access technology is a non-Third Generation Partnership Project (non-3GPP) access technology and the second access technology is a 3GPP access technology.
5. The WTRU of claim 1 wherein the first access technology is an IEEE 802.11 access technology and the second access technology is a 3GPP access technology.
6. The WTRU of claim 1 wherein the WTRU is in connected mode (CM) in the first access technology.
7. The WTRU of claim 1 wherein the WTRU is in idle mode (IM) in the second access technology.
8. The WTRU of claim 1 wherein the second message comprises a notification response message..
9. The WTRU of claim 1 wherein the second message is a non-access stratum (NAS) message.
10. A method for use in a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU), the method comprising:
receiving a first message from a network via a first access technology, the first message comprising an indication for the WTRU to reestablish resources for one or more protocol data unit (PDU) sessions over a second access technology, wherein the second access technology is locally deactivated at the WTRU; and
sending a second message via the first access technology, the second message comprising a PDU session status information element (IE) indicating the PDU session is locally deactivated.
11. The method of claim 10 , further comprising:
determining that the WTRU is in a limited service state associated with the second access technology.
12. The method of claim 10 , further comprising:
registering with the network over both the first access technology and the second access technology.
13. The method of claim 10 , wherein the first access technology is a non-Third Generation Partnership Project (non-3GPP) access technology and the second access technology is a 3GPP access technology.
14. The method of claim 10 , wherein the first access technology is an IEEE 802.11 access technology and the second access technology is a 3GPP access technology.
15. The method of claim 10 , wherein the network comprises an Access and Mobility Function (AMF) shared between the first access technology and the second access technology.
16. The method of claim 10 , wherein the WTRU is in connected mode (CM) in the first access technology.
17. The method of claim 10 , wherein the WTRU is in idle mode (IM) in the second access technology.
18. The method of claim 10 , wherein the second message is a non-access stratum (NAS) message.
19. The method of claim 10 , wherein the second message comprises a notification response message.
20. The method of claim 10 , wherein the PDU session is locally deactivated while the WTRU is in a limited service state of the second access technology.
