Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a communication method and system for converging a 5th-Generation (5G) communication system for supporting higher data rates beyond a 4th-Generation (4G) system with a technology for Internet of Things (IoT). The present disclosure may be applied to intelligent services based on the 5G communication technology and the IoT-related technology, such as smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car, connected car, health care, digital education, smart retail, security and safety services. Embodiments herein disclose a method for handling collision in a wireless communication network. The method includes detecting the collision between a registration procedure initiated by the UE ( 100 ) and a deregistration procedure initiated by the wireless communication network and determining whether the cause value received in the deregistration request message is one of a specific cause value for the deregistration procedure. Further, the method includes performing one of: aborting the deregistration procedure initiated by the wireless communication network and proceeding with the registration procedure initiated by the UE ( 100 ) on determining that the cause value is one of the specific cause value for the deregistration procedure; and aborting the registration procedure initiated by the UE ( 100 ) and proceeding with the deregistration procedure initiated by the wireless communication network on determining that the cause value is not one of the specific cause value for the deregistration procedure.

Claims (52)

1. A method performed by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

transmitting, to an access and mobility management function (AMF), a registration request message for mobility or periodic registration update; and

receiving, from the AMF, a de-registration request message for a de-registration procedure, before a registration procedure based on the registration request message for the mobility or the periodic registration update has been completed,

wherein, in case that a specific cause value is included in the de-registration request message, the registration procedure for the mobility or the periodic registration update is progressed and the de-registration procedure is aborted, and

wherein the specific cause value is at least one of a 5 th generation system mobility management (5GMM) cause value #11, #12, #13 or #15.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein, in case that the specific cause value is not included in the de-registration request message, the registration procedure for the mobility or the periodic registration update is aborted and the de-registration procedure is progressed.

3. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the 5GMM cause value

#11 corresponds to information associated with a public land mobile network (PLMN) not allowed,

wherein the 5GMM cause value #12 corresponds to information associated with a tracking area not allowed,

wherein the 5GMM cause value #13 corresponds to information associated with a roaming not allowed in a tracking area, and

wherein the 5GMM cause value #15 corresponds to information associated with no suitable cells in a tracking area.

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

transmitting, to a user equipment (UE), a de-registration request message for a de-registration procedure; and

receiving, from the UE, a registration request message for mobility or periodic registration update before the de-registration procedure based on the de-registration request message has been completed,

wherein, in case that a specific cause value is included in the de-registration request message, the de-registration procedure is aborted and a registration procedure for the mobility or the periodic registration update is progressed, and

wherein the specific cause value is at least one of a 5 th generation system mobility management (5GMM) cause value #11, #12, #13 or #15.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein, in case that the specific cause value is not included in the de-registration request message, the registration procedure for the mobility or the periodic registration update is aborted and the de-registration procedure is progressed.

6. The method of claim 4 ,

wherein the 5GMM cause value #11

corresponds to information associated with a public land mobile network (PLMN) not allowed,

wherein the 5GMM cause value #12 corresponds to information associated with a tracking area not allowed,

wherein the 5GMM cause value #13 corresponds to information associated with a roaming not allowed in a tracking area, and

wherein the 5GMM cause value #15 corresponds to information associated with no suitable cells in a tracking area.

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

a transceiver; and

a processor configured to:

transmit, to an access and mobility management function (AMF), a registration request message for mobility or periodic registration update, and

receive, from the AMF, a de-registration request message for a de-registration procedure before a registration procedure based on the registration request message for the mobility or the periodic registration update has been completed,

wherein, in case that a specific cause value is included in the de-registration request message, the registration procedure for the mobility or the periodic registration update is progressed and the de-registration procedure is aborted, and

wherein the specific cause value is at least one of a 5 th generation system mobility management (5GMM) cause value #11, #12, #13 or #15.

8. The UE of claim 7 , wherein, in case that the specific cause value is not included in the de-registration request message, the registration procedure for the mobility or the periodic registration update is aborted and the de-registration procedure is progressed.

9. The UE of claim 7 ,

wherein the 5GMM cause value

#11 corresponds to information associated with a public land mobile network (PLMN) not allowed,

wherein the 5GMM cause value #12 corresponds to information associated with a tracking area not allowed,

wherein the 5GMM cause value #13 corresponds to information associated with a roaming not allowed in a tracking area, and

wherein the 5GMM cause value #15 corresponds to information associated with no suitable cells in a tracking area.

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

a transceiver; and

a processor configured to:

transmit, to a user equipment (UE), a de-registration request message for a de-registration procedure, and

receive, from the UE, a registration request message for mobility or periodic registration update before the de-registration procedure based on the de-registration request message has been completed,

wherein, in case that a specific cause value is included in the de-registration request message, the de-registration procedure is aborted and a registration procedure for the mobility or the periodic registration update is progressed, and

wherein the specific cause value is at least one of a 5 th generation system mobility management (5GMM) cause value #11, #12, #13 or #15.

11. The AMF of claim 10 , wherein, in case that the specific cause value is not included in the de-registration request message, the registration procedure for the mobility or the periodic registration update is aborted and the de-registration procedure is progressed.

12. The AMF of claim 10 ,

wherein the 5GMM cause value #11

corresponds to information associated with a public land mobile network (PLMN) not allowed,

wherein the 5GMM cause value #12 corresponds to information associated with a tracking area not allowed,

wherein the 5GMM cause value #13 corresponds to information associated with a roaming not allowed in a tracking area, and

wherein the 5GMM cause value #15 corresponds to information associated with no suitable cells in a tracking area.
