Abstract

This disclosure handles a registration procedure in a UE supporting registration to 5GC via untrusted non-3GPP access network and 3GPP access network. More specifically this disclosure defines a UE behavior when a registration procedure is not successful to 5GC via first access network type (e.g. untrusted non-3GPP network access) after transmitting maximum number of registration request message via the first access network type to the 5GC and the UE is registered to 5GC via other access network type (e.g. 3GPP access network (NG-RAN)).

Claims (15)

1. A method of a user equipment configured to perform a registration procedure with a same Access and mobility Management Function (AMF) via a 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) access and a non-3GPP access, the method comprising:

performing a registration with the AMF via one access network among the 3GPP access and the non-3GPP access, separately from a registration via another access network that is different from the one access network;

starting a timer (T 3510 ) in a case where the registration via the one access network is performed;

incrementing a number of times of registration attempt via the one access network in a case where the timer (T 3510 ) expires; and

keeping a 5G-Globally Unique Temporary Identity (5G-GUTI) that is assigned for the another access network, in a case where the user equipment is registered with the AMF via the another access network and the number of times of the registration attempt via the one access network is equal to a maximum number, wherein

the 5G-GUTI is common to both the 3GPP access and the non-3GPP access.

2. A user equipment configured to perform a registration procedure with a same Access and mobility Management Function (AMF) via a 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) access and a non-3GPP access, the user equipment comprising:

a memory; and

at least one hardware processor coupled to the memory,

wherein the at least one hardware processor is configured to:

perform a registration with the AMF via one access network among the 3GPP access and the non-3GPP access, separately from a registration via another access network that is different from the one access network;

start a timer (T 3510 ) in a case where the registration via the one access network is performed;

increment a number of times of registration attempt via the one access network in a case where the timer (T 3510 ) expires; and

keep a 5G-Globally Unique Temporary Identity (5G-GUTI) that is assigned for the another access network, in a case where the user equipment is registered with the AMF via the another access network and the number of times of the registration attempt via the one access network is equal to a maximum number,

wherein the 5G-GUTI is common to both the 3GPP access and the non-3GPP access.
