5  Elementary procedures for 5GS mobility management  p. 134

5.1  Overview  p. 134

5.1.1  General  p. 134

The main function of the 5GS mobility management (5GMM) sublayer is to support the identification, security, mobility of a UE as well as generic message transport.
A further function of the 5GMM sublayer is to provide connection management services to the other sublayer(s).

5.1.2  Types of 5GMM procedures  p. 134

Depending on how they can be initiated, three types of 5GMM procedures can be distinguished:
  1. 5GMM common procedures:
    5GMM common procedure can always be initiated when the UE is in 5GMM-CONNECTED mode. The procedures belonging to this type are:
    1. Initiated by the network:
      1. network-initiated NAS transport;
      2. primary authentication and key agreement;
      3. security mode control;
      4. generic UE configuration update;
      5. identification; and
      6. network slice-specific authentication and authorization;
    2. Initiated by the UE:
      UE-initiated NAS transport.
    3. Initiated by the UE or the network and used to report certain error conditions detected upon receipt of 5GMM protocol data:
      5GMM status.
  2. 5GMM specific procedures:
    At any time only one UE initiated 5GMM specific procedure can be running for each of the access network(s) that the UE is camping in. The procedures belonging to this type are:
    1. Initiated by the UE and used e.g. to register to the network for 5GS services and establish a 5GMM context, to update the location/parameter(s) of the UE:
      registration.
    2. Initiated by the UE or the network and used to deregister from the network for 5GS services and to release a 5GMM context:
      de-registration.
    3. Initiated by the UE and used to deregister from the network for 5GS services and to release a 5GMM context:
      eCall inactivity procedure.
  3. 5GMM connection management procedures:
    1. Initiated by the UE and used to establish a secure connection to the network or to request the resource reservation for sending data, or both:
      service request.
      The service request procedure can only be initiated if no UE initiated 5GMM specific procedure is ongoing for each of the access network(s) that the UE is camping in.
    2. Initiated by the network and used to request the establishment of an N1 NAS signalling connection or to request re-establishment of user-plane resources for the PDU session(s) associated with 3GPP access or to request re-establishment of user-plane resources of the PDU session(s) associated with non-3GPP access over 3GPP access; not applicable for the non-3GPP access network:
      paging.
    3. Initiated by the network and used to request re-establishment of user-plane resources of the PDU session(s) associated with non-3GPP access over 3GPP access or to deliver 5GSM downlink signalling messages associated with non-3GPP access over 3GPP access, when the UE is in 5GMM-CONNECTED mode over 3GPP access and in 5GMM-IDLE mode over non-3GPP access; or
      Initiated by the network and used to request re-establishment of user-plane resources of the PDU session(s) associated with 3GPP access over 3GPP access or to deliver downlink signalling associated with 3GPP access over 3GPP access, when the UE is in 5GMM-CONNECTED mode over non-3GPP access, and when the UE is in 5GMM-IDLE mode over 3GPP access and not in MICO mode:
      notification.

In the state 5GMM-REGISTERED, a 5GMM context has been established. Additionally, one or more PDU session(s) may be established at the UE. The UE may initiate the non-initial registration procedure for mobility and periodic registration update and the service request procedure. The UE in the state 5GMM-REGISTERED over non-3GPP access shall not initiate the periodic registration update procedure.
5.1.3.2.1.2.5  5GMM-DEREGISTERED-INITIATED  p. 137

5.1.3.2.1.4.7  5GMM-REGISTERED.NO-CELL-AVAILABLE  p. 139
5G coverage has been lost or MICO mode is active in the UE. If MICO mode is active, the UE can deactivate MICO mode at any time by activating the AS layer when the UE needs to send mobile originated signalling or user data. Otherwise, the UE shall not initiate any 5GMM procedure except for cell and PLMN reselection.
This substate is not applicable to non-3GPP access.
5.1.3.2.1.4.8  5GMM-REGISTERED.UPDATE-NEEDED  p. 140
This state can be entered if the UE has to perform a registration procedure for mobility and periodic registration update but:
  1. the access is barred due to unified access control when in 3GPP access;
  2. the network rejects the N1 NAS signalling connection establishment when in 3GPP access or in non-3GPP access; or
  3. the UE in 5GMM-CONNECTED mode with RRC inactive indication receives an indication from the lower layers that the resumption of the RRC connection has failed and for access is barred for all categories except categories '0' and '2' as specified in subclause 5.3.1.4.
No 5GMM procedure except:
  1. registration procedure for mobility and periodic registration update;
  2. service request procedure as a response to paging or notification; and
  3. de-registration procedure

Up
5.1.3.2.2  5GS update status in the UE  p. 140
In order to describe the detailed UE behaviour, the 5GS update (5U) status pertaining to a specific subscriber is defined.
If the UE is not operating in SNPN access operation mode (see TS 23.501), the 5GS update status is stored in a non-volatile memory in the USIM if the corresponding file is present in the USIM, else in the non-volatile memory in the ME, as described in Annex C.
If the UE is operating in SNPN access operation mode, the 5GS update status for each SNPN whose SNPN identity is included in the "list of subscriber data" configured in the ME (see TS 23.122) is stored in the non-volatile memory in the ME as described in Annex C.
The 5GS update status value is changed only after the execution of a registration, network-initiated de-registration, 5GS based primary authentication and key agreement, service request, paging procedure or due to change in the current TAI which does not belong to the current registration area while T3346 is running.
5U1: UPDATED
The last registration attempt was successful.
5U2: NOT UPDATED
The last registration or service request attempt failed procedurally, e.g. no response or reject message was received from the AMF.
5U3: ROAMING NOT ALLOWED
The last registration, service request, or registration for mobility or periodic registration update attempt was correctly performed, but the answer from the AMF was negative (because of roaming or subscription restrictions).

5.1.4  Coordination between 5GMM and EMM  p. 141

5.1.4.1  General  p. 141

If both 5GMM and EMM are enabled, a UE, operating in single-registration mode, shall maintain one common registration for 5GMM for 3GPP access and EMM.
Coordination between 5GMM for 3GPP access and EMM for a UE, which is capable of N1 mode and S1 mode and operates in dual-registration mode, is not needed, except as specified in subclause 4.8.3.
The coordination between 5GMM for 3GPP access and EMM in subclauses 5.1.4.2 and 5.1.4.3 only applies to the UEs operating in single-registration mode.
Regarding the coordination of "SIM/USIM considered invalid" and "USIM considered invalid for 5GS services" between the various mobility management entities see subclause 5.1.5.

5.1.4.2  Coordination between 5GMM for 3GPP access and EMM with N26 interface  p. 142

A UE that is not registered shall be in state EMM-DEREGISTERED and state 5GMM-DEREGISTERED for 3GPP access.
In N1 mode, upon successful completion of a registration procedure over 3GPP access, the UE operating in single-registration mode shall enter substates 5GMM-REGISTERED.NORMAL-SERVICE or 5GMM-REGISTERED.NON-ALLOWED-SERVICE as described in subclause 5.3.5.2 for 3GPP access and EMM-REGISTERED.NO-CELL-AVAILABLE. The UE shall reset the registration attempt counter for 3GPP access and the attach attempt counter (see TS 24.301).
At inter-system change from S1 mode to N1 mode, the UE shall enter substates 5GMM-REGISTERED.NORMAL-SERVICE or 5GMM-REGISTERED.NON-ALLOWED-SERVICE as described in subclause 5.3.5.2 for 3GPP accessand EMM-REGISTERED.NO-CELL-AVAILABLE and initiate a registration procedure for mobility and periodic registration update over 3GPP access indicating "mobility registration updating" in the 5GS registration type IE of the REGISTRATION REQUEST message (see subclause 5.5.1.3).
In S1 mode, upon successful completion of an attach or tracking area updating procedure, the UE operating in single-registration mode shall enter substates 5GMM-REGISTERED.NO-CELL-AVAILABLE for 3GPP access and EMM-REGISTERED.NORMAL-SERVICE. The UE shall reset the registration attempt counter for 3GPP access and the attach attempt counter or tracking area updating attempt counter (see TS 24.301).
At inter-system change from N1 mode to S1 mode when there is no active PDU session for which interworking with EPS is supported as specified in subclause 6.1.4.1, and EMM-REGISTERED without PDN connection is not supported by the UE or the MME, the UE shall enter state 5GMM-DEREGISTERED for 3GPP access and state EMM-DEREGISTERED and then initiate the EPS attach procedure. If EMM-REGISTERED without PDN connection is supported by the UE and the MME, the UE shall enter substates EMM-REGISTERED.NORMAL-SERVICE and 5GMM-REGISTERED.NO-CELL-AVAILABLE for 3GPP access and initiate a tracking area updating procedure.
At inter-system change from N1 mode to S1 mode when there is at least one active PDU session for which interworking with EPS is supported as specified in subclause 6.1.4.1, the UE shall enter substates EMM-REGISTERED.NORMAL-SERVICE and 5GMM-REGISTERED.NO-CELL-AVAILABLE for 3GPP access and initiate a tracking area updating procedure (see TS 24.301).

5.1.5  Coordination between 5GMM and GMM |R16|  p. 143

Coordination between 5GMM and GMM states is not required.
Regardless whether the UE is operating in single-registration mode or dual-registration mode,
  1. if the UE considers the SIM/USIM invalid for any of: 3GPP access in N1 mode, S1 mode, A/Gb mode or Iu mode, then it considers the SIM/USIM invalid for all of them; and
  2. if the UE considers the USIM invalid for 5GS services for any of: 3GPP access in N1 mode, S1 mode, A/Gb mode or Iu mode, then it considers the USIM invalid for 5GS services for all of them.
