4  Principles for the use of NGAP for non-3GPP access

4.1  General

TS 23.501 specifies the NGAP used between the Non-3GPP access network node and the AMF. The Non-3GPP access network node is either a Non-3GPP InterWorking Function (N3IWF), or a Trusted Non-3GPP Gateway Function (TNGF), or a Trusted WLAN Interworking Function (TWIF), or a Wireline Access Gateway Function (W-AGF). NGAP is used as specified in TS 38.413 with clarifications or additions as specified in Clause 5.

5  Non-3GPP access  Word‑p. 6

5.1  Use of the NGAP for non-3GPP access

The following NGAP procedures are used between the Non-3GPP access network node and the AMF:
  • PDU Session Management Procedures
    • PDU Session Resource Setup
    • PDU Session Resource Release
    • PDU Session Resource Modify
    • PDU Session Resource Notify
  • UE Context Management Procedures
    • Initial Context Setup
    • UE Context Release Request
    • UE Context Release
    • UE Context Modification
  • Transport of NAS Messages Procedures
    • Initial UE Message
    • Downlink NAS Transport
    • Uplink NAS Transport
    • NAS Non Delivery Indication
    • Reroute NAS Request
  • Interface Management Procedures
    • NG Setup
    • RAN Configuration Update
    • AMF Configuration Update
    • NG Reset
    • Error Indication
    • AMF Status Indication
    • Overload Start
    • Overload Stop
  • UE TNLA Binding Procedures
    • UE TNLA Binding Release
For the NGAP procedures used between the Non-3GPP access network node and the AMF, the Non-3GPP access network node fulfils the behaviour of the NG-RAN node as specified in clause 8 of TS 38.413, with clarifications as specified in Clause 5.3. The text in clause 8 of TS 38.413 referring to Uu should be understood as referring to the Y2 reference point as specified in TS 23.501.
