Abstract

Described herein is a system and method in a user equipment (UE) supporting registration using third generation partnership project (3GPP) access and using non-3GPP access, the method comprising storing, in a memory of the UE, first emergency information received using first registration procedures; receiving, by the UE, a REGISTRATION ACCEPT message using second registration procedures via non-3GPP access; and keeping, in the memory, the first emergency information after receiving the REGISTRATION ACCEPT message.

Claims (32)

1. A method in a user equipment (UE) supporting registration using third generation partnership project (3GPP) access and using non-3GPP access, the method comprising:

storing, by the UE, first emergency information received using first registration procedures with a first public land mobile network (PLMN), the first emergency information comprising a first extended local emergency number list, and the first emergency information received from the first PLMN;

receiving, by the UE, a REGISTRATION ACCEPT message using second registration procedures with a second PLMN via non-3GPP access, the REGISTRATION ACCEPT message excluding an extended local emergency number list; and

discarding, by the UE, the first emergency information after receiving the REGISTRATION ACCEPT message from the second PLMN when at least one condition of one or more conditions is met,

wherein a first condition of the one or more conditions comprises the UE having received the REGISTRATION ACCEPT message from the second PLMN different from the first PLMN, wherein the second registration procedures comprise registering a presence of the UE using a registration procedure in a 5G system (5GS).

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first emergency information further comprises an extended emergency number list validity (EENLV) indicator comprising a first indication, and the first indication indicates that the first extended local emergency number list is valid in the first PLMN where the list is received.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein a second condition of the one or more conditions comprises the UE having received the REGISTRATION ACCEPT message from the second PLMN that is in a country different from a country of the first PLMN.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein discarding the first emergency information when at least one condition of the one or more conditions is met comprises keeping the first emergency information unless at least one condition of the one or more conditions is met.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the registration procedures with the first PLMN comprise registration procedures via 3GPP access.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising storing, by the UE, an indication of an access type via which the first emergency information was received, and further wherein a third condition of the one or more conditions comprises the indication of the access type matching non-3GPP access.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first registration procedures comprise registering a presence of the UE using at least one of a tracking area update procedure, an attach procedure in an evolved packet system (EPS), or a registration procedure in the 5G system (5GS).

8. A user equipment (UE) supporting registration using third generation partnership project (3GPP) access and using non-3GPP access, the UE comprising:

a memory; and

a processor coupled to the memory, the processor configured to:

store first emergency information received using first registration procedures with a first public land mobile network (PLMN), the first emergency information comprising a first extended local emergency number list, and the first emergency information received from the first PLMN;

receive a REGISTRATION ACCEPT message using second registration procedures with a second PLMN via non-3GPP access, the REGISTRATION ACCEPT message excluding an extended local emergency number list; and

discard the first emergency information after receiving the REGISTRATION ACCEPT message from the second PLMN when at least one condition of one or more conditions is met,

wherein a first condition of the one or more conditions comprises the UE having received the REGISTRATION ACCEPT message from the second PLMN different from the first PLMN, wherein the second registration procedures comprise registering a presence of the UE using a registration procedure in a 5G system (5GS).

9. The UE of claim 8 , wherein the first emergency information further comprises an extended emergency number list validity (EENLV) indicator comprising a first indication, and the first indication indicates that the first extended local emergency number list is valid in the first PLMN where the list is received.

10. The UE of claim 9 , wherein a second condition of the one or more conditions comprises the UE having received the REGISTRATION ACCEPT message from the second PLMN that is in a country different from a country of the first PLMN.

11. The UE of claim 8 , wherein discarding the first emergency information when at least one condition of the one or more conditions is met comprises keeping the first emergency information unless at least one condition of the one or more conditions is met.

12. The UE of claim 8 , further comprising storing, by the UE, an indication of an access type via which the first emergency information was received, wherein a third condition of the one or more conditions comprises the indication of the access type matching non-3GPP access.

13. The UE of claim 8 , wherein the first registration procedures comprise registering a presence of the UE using at least one of a tracking area update procedure, an attach procedure in an evolved packet system (EPS), or a registration procedure in the 5G system (5GS).

14. A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions that when executed by a user equipment (UE) supporting registration using third generation partnership project (3GPP) access and using non-3GPP access, cause the UE to:

store first emergency information received using first registration procedures with a first public land mobile network (PLMN), the first emergency information comprising a first extended local emergency number list, and the first emergency information received from the first PLMN;

receive a REGISTRATION ACCEPT message using second registration procedures with a second PLMN via non-3GPP access, the REGISTRATION ACCEPT message excluding an extended local emergency number list; and

discard the first emergency information after receiving the REGISTRATION ACCEPT message from the second PLMN when at least one condition of one or more conditions is met,

wherein a first condition of the one or more conditions comprises the UE having received the REGISTRATION ACCEPT message from the second PLMN different from the first PLMN, wherein the registration procedures with the first PLMN comprise registration procedures via 3GPP access, and wherein the second registration procedures comprise registering a presence of the UE using a registration procedure in a 5G system (5GS).

15. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 14 , wherein the first emergency information further comprises an extended emergency number list validity (EENLV) indicator comprising a first indication, wherein the first indication indicates that the first extended local emergency number list is valid in the first PLMN where the list is received.

16. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 14 , wherein a second condition of the one or more conditions comprises the UE having received the REGISTRATION ACCEPT message from the second PLMN that is in a country different from a country of the first PLMN.

17. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 14 , wherein discarding the first emergency information when at least one condition of the one or more conditions is met comprises keeping the first emergency information unless at least one condition of the one or more conditions is met.

18. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 14 , wherein the first registration procedures comprise registering a presence of the UE using at least one of a tracking area update procedure, an attach procedure in an evolved packet system (EPS), or a registration procedure in the 5G system (5GS).
