Mobile-terminated data control method in wireless communication system and device therefor
A method for controlling mobile terminated (MT) data in a wireless communication system and a device therefor are disclosed. The method for controlling MT data by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system includes receiving paging from a network and transmitting a tracking area update (TAU) request message to a mobility management entity (MME) in response to the paging when an EPS update status of the UE is EU2 NOT UPDATED due to an unsuccessful attempt of a last TAU procedure of the UE upon receiving the paging, wherein when the UE is using only signaling optimization to enable delivery of user data over a control plane via the MME, a first active flag in the TAU request message is set.
1. A method for controlling mobile terminated (MT) data by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
receiving paging from a network; and
transmitting a tracking area update (TAU) request message to a mobility management entity (MME) in response to the paging based on an Evolved Packet System (EPS) update status of the UE being EU 2 NOT UPDATED due to an unsuccessful attempt of a last TAU procedure of the UE upon receiving the paging,
wherein based on the UE using only signaling optimization to enable delivery of user data over a control plane via the MME: a first active flag in the TAU request message is set, and
wherein based on (i) the EPS update status of the UE being EU 2 NOT UPDATED due to the unsuccessful attempt of the last TAU procedure of the UE, (ii) the UE being in an EMM-REGISTERED. ATTEMPTING-TO-UPDATE state, and (iii) a back-off timer T 3346 running: the TAU request message is transmitted in response to the paging.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein based on the UE not using only the signaling optimization to enable delivery of user data over the control plane via the MME, a second active flag in the TAU request message is set.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first active flag indicates a request to maintain a non-access stratum (NAS) signaling connection between the UE and the MME after completion of the TAU procedure.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first active flag is included in an additional update type information element for providing additional information on a type of a request for the TAU procedure in the TAU request message.
5. The method of claim 4 , wherein based on a value of the first active flag being ‘0’, a non-access stratum (NAS) signaling connection between the UE and the MME is not maintained after completion of the TAU procedure.
6. The method of claim 4 , wherein based on a value of the first active flag being ‘1’, a non-access stratum (NAS) signaling connection between the UE and the MME is maintained after completion of the TAU procedure.
7. A method for performing a tracking area update (TAU) procedure by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
receiving paging from a network; and
initiating a service request procedure or initiating the TAU procedure in response to the paging based on the UE using signaling optimization to enable delivery of user data over a control plane via a mobility management entity (MME) upon receiving the paging,
wherein based on an Evolved Packet System (EPS) update status of the UE being EU 1 UPDATED due to a successful attempt of a last TAU procedure of the UE: the service request procedure is initiated in response to the paging, and
wherein based on the EPS update status of the UE being EU 2 NOT UPDATED due to an unsuccessful attempt of the last TAU procedure of the UE: the TAU procedure is initiated in response to the paging, and
wherein based on (i) the EPS update status of the UE being EU 2 NOT UPDATED due to the unsuccessful attempt of the last TAU procedure of the UE, (ii) the UE being in an EMM-REGISTERED. ATTEMPTING-TO-UPDATE state, and (iii) a back-off timer T 3346 running: the TAU procedure is initiated in response to the paging.
8. The method of claim 7 , wherein based on the UE using only the signaling optimization to enable delivery of user data over the control plane via the MME, a first active flag in a TAU request message for initiating the TAU procedure is set.
9. The method of claim 7 , wherein based on the UE not using only the signaling optimization to enable delivery of user data over the control plane via the MME, a second active flag in a TAU request message for initiating the TAU procedure is set.
10. The method of claim 7 , wherein a first active flag indicates a request to maintain a non-access stratum (NAS) signaling connection between the UE and the MME after completion of the TAU procedure.
