Abstract

An embodiment of the present invention relates to a method for transmitting or receiving a deregistration-related message to or from a user equipment (UE) by an access and mobility management function (AMF) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising the steps of: receiving a deregistration request message from a UE by a first AMF; and in response to the deregistration request message, transmitting a deregistration accept message to the UE by the first AMF, wherein the deregistration accept message includes a first 5G-globally unique temporary identifier (5G-GUTI) allocated by the first AMF.

Claims (28)

1. A method performed by a first access and mobility management function (AMF) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving, from a user equipment (UE), a deregistration request message, after a second AMF becomes unavailable while the second AMF is a serving AMF for the UE; and

transmitting, to the UE, a deregistration accept message in response to the deregistration request message,

wherein the deregistration accept message includes a first 5 th generation-globally unique temporary identifier (5G-GUTI) allocated by the first AMF, and

wherein the deregistration request message includes a second 5G-GUTI allocated by the second AMF.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the second AMF becomes unavailable while the UE is in an idle state for both of a first access and a second access.

3. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the deregistration request message includes information indicating for which access between the first access and the second access deregistration is.

4. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the first 5G-GUTI is used for both of the first access and the second access.

5. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the first access and the second access belong to the same public land mobile network (PLMN).

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first AMF is selected by a network node which has received the deregistration request message.

7. The method according to claim 6 , wherein the network node is one of a next generation radio access network (NG-RAN) or a non-3 rd generation partnership project (3GPP) interworking function (N3IWF).

8. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the UE has registered to a 5 th generation core network (5GC) through the first access and the second access.

9. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the first access is 3GPP access and the second access is non-3GPP access, or the first access is non-3GPP access and the second access is 3GPP access.

10. A first access and mobility management function (AMF) in a wireless communication system, the first AMF comprising:

a transceiver; and

at least one processor coupled to the transceiver and configured to:

receive, from a user equipment (UE), a deregistration request message, after a second AMF becomes unavailable while the second AMF is a serving AMF for the UE, and

transmit, to the UE, a deregistration accept message in response to the deregistration request message, and

wherein the deregistration accept message includes a first 5 th generation-globally unique temporary identifier (5G-GUTI) allocated by the first AMF, and

wherein the deregistration request message includes a second 5G-GUTI allocated by the second AMF.

11. A user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:

a transceiver; and

at least one processor coupled to the transceiver and configured to:

performing a registration procedure with a second access and mobility management function (AMF),

transmit a deregistration request message a first AMF, after the second AMF becomes unavailable while the second AMF is a serving AMF for the UE, and

receive, from the first AMF, a deregistration accept message, and

wherein the deregistration accept message includes a first 5 th generation-globally unique temporary identifier (5G-GUTI) allocated by the first AMF, and

wherein the deregistration request message includes a second 5G-GUTI allocated by the second AMF.
