UAS NF stores the UE UUAA context after successful UUAA procedure as explained in
for UUAA-SM procedure. The UUAA context may be stored in the UDSF or may be stored locally in the UAS NF depending on deployments.
Step 1.
The USS sends a Naf_Authentication_Notification request to UAS NF for re-authorization of the UAV. The USS includes GPSI, CAA-Level UAV ID, Notification Correlation Information, an authorization message to be transparently delivered to the UAV. The CAA-Level UAV ID may be a new CAA-Level UAV ID. The authorization message may e.g. include a UUAA Authorization Payload, a C2 Authorization Result and a C2 Authorization Payload (e.g. containing C2 pairing information and C2 security information).
Step 2.
Based on the received GPSI and Notification Correlation Information from the USS, the UAS NF/NEF determines the corresponding Notification Correlation Information for Nnef_Authentication_Notification request.
Step 3a.
For UUAA-MM re-authorization, the UAS-NF/NEF sends a Nnef_Authentication_Notification request including the CAA-Level UAV ID and the authorization message to the serving AMF.
Step 3b.
For UUAA-SM re-authorization or C2 re-authorization, the UAS-NF/NEF sends a Nnef_Authentication_Notification request to the SMF serving the UUAA or C2 for the UE which includes the corresponding PDU session identity, CAA-Level UAV ID and the authorization message.
Step 4.
The UAS NF responds back to the USS indicating that re-authorization request has been successfully initiated.
Step 5a.
In the case of UUAA-MM:
If the UE is in CM_Idle state, the AMF initiates the Network Triggered Service Request procedures as described in
clause 4.2.3.3 of TS 23.502.
The AMF delivers the CAA-Level UAV ID and the authorization message to the UE using NAS MM Transport.
Step 5b.
In the case of UUAA-SM or C2 re-authorization:
The SMF identifies, based on the received information, the PDU Session that is serving the UUAA-SM or C2 re-authorization and invokes the Network Requested PDU Session Modification procedure (
Figure 4.3.3.2-1 of
TS 23.502 triggering event SMF Requested modification) by sending
Namf_Communication_N1N2MessageTransfer, including the CAA-Level UAV ID and the authorization message in the N1_SM_Container (step 3b in
Figure 4.3.3.2-1 of
TS 23.502) .
The Network Triggered service request procedure is invoked by AMF to forward the CAA-Level UAV ID and the authorization message included in the N1_SM_container to the UE (from step 3a in
Figure 4.2.3.3-1 of
TS 23.502).
Step 6.
The UE receives the CAA-Level UAV ID and the authorization message, which may e.g. include a UUAA Authorization Payload, a C2 Authorization Result and a C2 Authorization Payload (e.g. containing C2 pairing information and C2 security information). The UE acts on it accordingly (outside the scope of 3GPP).
