This clause specifies how to hand over a 5G-RG from a source W-5GAN access to a target 3GPP access and how a 5G-RG can handover a PDU Session from W-5GAN access to 3GPP access. It is based on the PDU Session Establishment procedure for 3GPP access as specified in
clause 4.3.2 of TS 23.502.
The Handover of a PDU Session procedure specified in
clause 4.9.2.1 of TS 23.502 applies with the following changes.
Step 1-2.
Step 3.
The SMF executes the release of resources in W-5GAN access by performing steps 4 to 6 specified in
clause 7.3.3, followed by step 7a specified in
clause 4.3.4.2 of TS 23.502 in order to release the resources over the source W-5GAN access. Because the PDU Session shall not be released, the SMF shall not send the NAS PDU Session Release Command to the 5G-RG. Hence, in steps 4 and 6 of
clause 7.3.3 as well as in step 7a in
clause 4.3.4.2 of TS 23.502, the messages do not include the N1 SM container but only the N2 PDU Session Resource Release Command (resp. Response). Since the PDU Session is not to be released, the SMF shall not execute step 7b in
clause 4.3.4.2 of TS 23.502 and the SM context between the AMF and the SMF is maintained.
Steps 2 and 3 shall be repeated for all PDU Sessions to be moved from to W-5GAN access to 3GPP access.
This clause specifies how to hand over a 5G-RG from a source 3GPP access to a target W-5GAN access and how a 5G-RG can handover a PDU Session from 3GPP access to W-5GAN access. It is based on the PDU Session Establishment procedure for W-5GAN access as specified in
clause 7.3.1.
The Handover of a PDU Session procedure specified in
clause 4.9.2.2 of TS 23.502 applies with the following changes.
Step 1.
If the 5G-RG is not registered via W-5GAN access, the 5G-RG shall initiate Registration procedure as defined in
clause 7.2.1.1.
Step 2.
The 5G-RG performs PDU Session Establishment procedure in W-5GAN access with the PDU Session ID of the PDU Session to be moved as specified in
clause 7.3.1.
Step 3.
This step is the same as step 3 in
clause 4.9.2.2 of TS 23.502 with the difference that the UE is replaced by 5G-RG. If the User Plane of the PDU Session is already deactivated in 3GPP access, this step is skipped.
Steps 2 and 3 shall be repeated for all PDU Sessions to be moved from 3GPP access to W-5GAN access.
