The procedure in this clause applies to Detach Procedures, initiated by UE or ePDG initiated detach procedure, and to the UE-requested PDN disconnection procedure when PMIPv6 is used on the S2b interface.
The UE can initiate the Detach procedure, e.g. when the UE is power off. The ePDG should initiate the Detach procedure due to administration reason or the IKEv2 tunnel releasing, when the ePDG should initiate the Detach procedure is implementation specific based on local operator policies.
For multiple PDN connectivity, this detach procedure shall be repeated for each PDN connected.
The home routed roaming (
Figure 4.2.3-1), LBO (
Figure 4.2.3-4) and non-roaming (
Figure 4.2.2-1) scenarios are depicted in the figure. In the LBO case, the 3GPP AAA Proxy acts as an intermediary, forwarding messages from the 3GPP AAA Server in the HPLMN to the PDN-GW in the VPLMN and visa versa. Messages between the PDN-GW in the VPLMN and the hPCRF in the HPLMN are forwarded by the vPCRF in the VPLMN. In the non-roaming case, the vPCRF and the 3GPP AAA Proxy are not involved.
If dynamic policy provisioning is not deployed, the optional step 4 does not occur. Instead, the PDN-GW may employ static configured policies.
Step 1.
IKEv2 tunnel release triggers PMIP tunnel release.
Step 2.
The MAG in the ePDG should send a Proxy Binding Update (MN NAI, APN, lifetime=0) message to the PDN-GW. When the MAG in the ePDG should send a Proxy Binding Update message to the PDN-GW is implementation specific based on local operator policies. The MN NAI identifies the UE. When only one PDN connection to the given APN is allowed the APN is needed in order to determine which PDN to deregister the UE from, as some PDN-GWs may support multiple PDNs. When multiple PDN connections to the given APN are supported, the APN and the PDN connection identity are needed in order to determine which PDN to deregister the UE from. The lifetime value set to zero, indicates this is a PMIP de-registration.
Step 3.
The PDN-GW informs the 3GPP AAA Server of the PDN disconnection. If the UE no longer has any context in the 3GPP AAA Server, the 3GPP AAA Server notifies the HSS as described in
clause 12.1.2.
Step 4.
The PDN-GW deletes the IP-CAN session associated with the UE and executes a PCEF-Initiated IP-CAN Session Termination Procedure with the PCRF as specified in
TS 23.203.
Step 5.
The PDN-GW deletes all existing entries for the indicated HoA from its Binding Cache and sends a Proxy Binding Ack (MN NAI, lifetime=0) message to the MAG in the ePDG. The PDN-GW sends a Proxy Binding Ack message to the ePDG. The MN NAI value and the lifetime=0 values indicate that the UE has been successfully deregistered.
Step 6.
Non-3GPP specific resource release procedure is executed.
This procedure is described in
clause 6.4.1.2.
