Method and user equipment for locally removing S-NSSAI upon expiry of slice deregistration inactivity timer
According to one embodiment of this specification, there is provided a method performed by a user equipment (UE). The method may comprise: starting a slice deregistration inactivity timer if a handover to other access is successfully completed and if there is no established protocol data unit (PDU) session including any multi access (MA) PDU session associated with a Single Network Slice Selection Assistance Information (S-NSSAI) over a corresponding access type; upon expiry of the slice deregistration inactivity timer, locally removing the S-NSSAI from allowed NSSAI over the corresponding access type; and upon expiry of the slice deregistration inactivity timer, deleting an entry including a replaced S-NSSAI or an alternative S-NSSAI stored in an alterative NSSAI.
1. An operation method of user equipment (UE), comprising
starting a slice deregistration inactivity timer if a handover to other access is successfully completed and if there is no established protocol data unit (PDU) session including any multi access (MA) PDU session associated with a Single Network Slice Selection Assistance Information (S-NSSAI) over a corresponding access type;
upon expiry of the slice deregistration inactivity timer, locally removing the S-NSSAI from allowed NSSAI over the corresponding access type; and
upon expiry of the slice deregistration inactivity timer, deleting an entry including a replaced S-NSSAI or an alternative S-NSSAI stored in an alterative NSSAI.
2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
when time validity information indicates the S-NSSAI is not available, deleting the entry including the replaced S-NSSAI or the alternative S-NSSAI stored in an alterative NSSAI.
3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
locally removing a replaced S-NSSAI or an alternative S-NSSAI, upon expiry of the slice deregistration inactivity timer.
4. The method of claim 1 ,
releasing the PDU session associated with a first on-demand S-NSSAI using a session management (SM) signaling.
5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
locally releasing the PDU session associated with a first on-demand S-NSSAI.
6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
stopping and resetting the slice deregistration inactivity timer for a first on-demand S-NSSAI when the UE enters a DEREGISTERED state.
7. A user equipment (UE), the UE comprising:
at least one processor; and
at least one computer memory operably connectable to the at least one processor and storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, perform operations comprising:
starting a slice deregistration inactivity timer if a handover to other access is successfully completed and if there is no established protocol data unit (PDU) session including any multi access (MA) PDU session associated with a Single Network Slice Selection Assistance Information (S-NSSAI) over a corresponding access type;
upon expiry of the slice deregistration inactivity timer, locally removing the S-NSSAI from allowed NSSAI over the corresponding access type; and
upon expiry of the slice deregistration inactivity timer, deleting an entry including a replaced S-NSSAI or an alternative S-NSSAI stored in an alterative NSSAI.
8. The UE of claim 7 , wherein the operations may further comprise:
when time validity information indicates the S-NSSAI is not available, deleting the entry including the replaced S-NSSAI or the alternative S-NSSAI stored in an alterative NSSAI.
9. The UE of claim 7 , wherein the operations may further comprise:
locally removing a replaced S-NSSAI or an alternative S-NSSAI, upon expiry of the slice deregistration inactivity timer.
10. The UE of claim 7 , wherein the operations may further comprise:
releasing the PDU session associated with a first on-demand S-NSSAI using a session management (SM) signaling.
11. The UE of claim 7 , wherein the operations may further comprise:
locally releasing the PDU session associated with a first on-demand S-NSSAI.
12. The UE of claim 7 , wherein the operations may further comprise:
stopping and resetting the slice deregistration inactivity timer for a first on-demand S-NSSAI when the UE enters a DEREGISTERED state.
13. A semiconductor chipset equipped into a user equipment (UE), comprising:
at least one processor; and
at least one memory capable of storing instructions and being connected electrically to the at least one processor operably,
wherein an operation, performed when the instructions are executed by the at least one processor, includes:
starting a slice deregistration inactivity timer if a handover to other access is successfully completed and if there is no established protocol data unit (PDU) session including any multi access (MA) PDU session associated with a Single Network Slice Selection Assistance Information (S-NSSAI) over a corresponding access type;
upon expiry of the slice deregistration inactivity timer, locally removing the S-NSSAI from allowed NSSAI over the corresponding access type; and
upon expiry of the slice deregistration inactivity timer, deleting an entry including a replaced S-NSSAI or an alternative S-NSSAI stored in an alterative NSSAI.
