Selecting a non-access stratum period based on a non-terrestrial access network type
A non-terrestrial network base station transmits to a wireless device access network information indicating an access network type of a plurality of access network types. The wireless device selects based on the received access network type a non-access stratum period from a plurality of periods including a first value and a second value. The non-terrestrial network base station receives from the wireless device a non-access stratum request message and sends the non-access stratum request message to an access and mobility management function.
1. A method, comprising:
receiving access network information indicating an access network type;
selecting, based on the access network type, a non-access stratum (NAS) period among:
a first value associated with a non-terrestrial network (NTN) access network type; and
a second value associated with a terrestrial network (TN) access network type;
sending an NAS request message to an access and mobility management function (AMF); and
starting the NAS period based on sending the NAS request message.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the NAS request message is a first NAS request message, the method further comprising sending a second NAS request message in response to an expiration of the NAS period.
3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
receiving, from the AMF, backhaul network information corresponding to a core network, wherein a second NAS period is based on the backhaul network information; and
sending a third NAS request message to the AMF, wherein a start of the second NAS period is based on sending the third NAS request message.
4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the backhaul network information comprises at least one of:
NTN type information;
backhaul latency information; or
altitude information.
5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the NTN type information comprises at least one of:
a parameter indicating a geostationary earth orbit (GEO);
a parameter indicating a medium earth orbit (MEO); or
a parameter indicating a low earth orbit (LEO).
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the access network information is received from a NTN base station.
7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the NAS request message is sent to the AMF via the NTN base station.
8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first value is greater than the second value.
9. A non-terrestrial network (NTN) base station, comprising:
one or more processors; and
memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the NTN base station to:
transmit, to a wireless device, access network information indicating an access network type of a plurality of access network types, wherein the wireless device selects, based on the access network type, a first non-access stratum (NAS) period among a plurality of periods comprising a first value and a second value;
receive a first NAS request message from the wireless device; and
send the first NAS request message to an access and mobility management function (AMF).
10. A wireless device, comprising:
one or more processors; and
memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the wireless device to:
receive access network information indicating an access network type;
select, based on the access network type, a non-access stratum (NAS) period among:
a first value associated with a non-terrestrial network (NTN) access network type; and
a second value associated with a terrestrial network (TN) access network type;
send an NAS request message to an access and mobility management function (AMF); and
start the NAS period based on sending the NAS request message.
11. The wireless device of claim 10 , wherein the NAS request message is a first NAS request message, and wherein the instructions when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the wireless device to send a second NAS request message in response to an expiration of the first NAS period, wherein the second NAS request message is based on the first NAS request message.
12. The wireless device of claim 10 , wherein the instructions when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the wireless device to:
receive, from the AMF, backhaul network information corresponding to a core network, wherein a second NAS period is based on the backhaul network information; and
send a third NAS request message to the AMF, wherein a start of the second NAS period is based on sending the third NAS request message.
13. The wireless device of claim 12 , wherein the backhaul network information comprises at least one of:
NTN type information;
backhaul latency information; or
altitude information.
14. The wireless device of claim 10 , wherein the access network information is received from a NTN base station.
15. The wireless device of claim 14 , wherein the NAS request message is sent to the AMF via the NTN base station.
16. The wireless device of claim 10 , wherein the first value is greater than the second value.
17. A system, comprising:
a non-terrestrial network (NTN) base station, comprising:
one or more first processors; and
first memory coupled to the one or more first processors and storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more first processors, cause the NTN base station to transmit access network information indicating an access network type; and
a wireless device, comprising:
one or more second processors; and
second memory coupled to the one or more second processors and storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more second processors, cause the wireless device to:
receive the access network information;
select, based on the access network type, a non-access stratum (NAS) period among:
a first value associated with a non-terrestrial network (NTN) access network type; and
a second value associated with a terrestrial network (TN) access network type;
send a NAS request message to an access and mobility management function (AMF); and
start the NAS period based on sending the NAS request message.
18. The system of claim 17 , wherein the NAS request message is a first NAS request message, and wherein the instructions when executed by the one or more second processors, further cause the wireless device to send a second NAS request message in response to an expiration of the first NAS period, wherein the second NAS request message is based on the first NAS request message.
19. The system of claim 17 , wherein the instructions when executed by the one or more second processors, further cause the wireless device to:
receive, from the AMF, backhaul network information corresponding to a core network, wherein a second NAS period is based on the backhaul network information; and
send a third NAS request message to the AMF, wherein a start of the second NAS period is based on sending the third NAS request message.
20. The system of claim 19 , wherein the backhaul network information comprises at least one of:
NTN type information;
