5.2.2.3.10  P-CSCF Restoration Procedure via AMFp. 46
The requirements specified in clause 5.2.2.3.1 shall apply with the following modifications.
Step 1.
Same as step 1 of Figure 5.2.2.3.1-1, with the following modifications.
The POST request shall contain:
  • the release IE set to true;
  • the cause IE set to REL_DUE_TO_REACTIVATION.
5.2.2.3.11  AMF requested PDU Session Release due to duplicated PDU Session Idp. 46
When the AMF receives an "initial request" with PDU Session Id which already exists in PDU session context of the UE (see clause 5.4.5.2.5 of TS 24.501), the AMF shall request the SMF to release the existing PDU Session; upon subsequent receipt of an SM context status notification indicating that the SM context has been deleted in the SMF, the AMF shall release the stored context for the PDU session and proceed with the "initial request" with the PDU Session Id.
The requirements for releasing the existing PDU Session specified in clause 5.2.2.3.1 shall apply with the following modifications.
Step 1.
Same as step 1 of Figure 5.2.2.3.1-1, with the following modifications.
The POST request shall contain:
  • the release IE set to true;
  • the cause IE set to REL_DUE_TO_DUPLICATE_SESSION_ID.
When the SMF receives the request from AMF, the SMF shall start the PDU Session Release procedure to release all the associated resources in UPF, PCF, CHF, and UDM. If the UP connection of the existing PDU session is active, the SMF should also request (R)AN to release associated resources.

5.2.2.3.12  AMF requested PDU Session Release due to slice not availablep. 46
If a network slice is detected as not available (e.g. due to slice congestion or operational disable the slice), the NF Service Consumer (i.e. AMF) shall use this procedure to release the PDU session associated to the unavailable network slice. Such handling of PDU session release may also happen in network slice replacement procedure if the AMF determines the PDU session cannot be retained with the alternative S-NSSAI due to certain reason (e.g. V-SMF/I-SMF cannot support the alternative S-NSSAI) (see clause 4.3.3.3 of TS 23.502).
The requirements specified in clause 5.2.2.3.1 shall apply with the following modifications.
Step 1.
Same as step 1 of Figure 5.2.2.3.1-1, with the following modifications.
The POST request shall contain:
  • the release IE set to true;
  • the cause IE set to S_NSSAI_CONGESTION or REL_DUE_TO_SLICE_NOT_AVAILABLE;
  • optionally the skipN2PduSessionResRelInd IE with the value "true" to skip RAN resources release for the PDU session, e.g. for a PDU session with active UP associated with a slice that is no longer available after a handover.

5.2.2.3.15  Connection Suspend procedure |R16|p. 49
The procedures specified in this clause and clause 5.2.2.3.16 are to support the Connection Suspend and Connection Resume in CM-IDLE with Suspend procedures as specified in clauses 4.8.1.2 and 4.8.2.3 of TS 23.502. These procedures are used to support the User Plane CIoT 5GS Optimisation feature for E-UTRAN access as specified in clauses 5.31.1 and 5.31.18 of TS 23.501.
The NF Service Consumer (e.g. AMF) shall request the SMF to suspend the User Plane connection of an existing PDU session if the SMF support the UPCSMT feature, as follows.
Reproduction of 3GPP TS 29.502, Fig. 5.2.2.3.15-1: Connection Suspend
Up
Step 1.
The NF Service Consumer shall request the SMF to suspend the user plane connection of the PDU session by sending a POST request, as specified in clause 5.2.2.3.1, with the following information:
  • upCnxState attribute set to SUSPENDED;
  • user location and user location timestamp;
  • N2 SM information received from the 5G-AN, including UE Context Suspend Request Transfer IE, if available;
  • other information, if necessary.
Step 2.
Upon receipt of such a request, the SMF shall deactivate the N3 tunnel of the PDU session, set the upCnxState attribute to SUSPENDED and return a 200 OK response including the upCnxState attribute set to SUSPENDED. The SMF shall store the N3 tunnel info (including both AN Tunnel Info and the CN Tunnel Info), and upon receiving subsequent DL Data report from the UPF, the SMF will invoke the Namf_MT EnableUEReachability service operation to trigger the AMF to page the UE.

5.2.2.3.16  Connection Resume in CM-IDLE with Suspend procedure |R16|p. 49
The NF Service Consumer (e.g. AMF) shall request the SMF to resume the User Plane connection of an existing PDU session, i.e. establish the N3 tunnel between the 5G-AN and UPF, as follows.
Reproduction of 3GPP TS 29.502, Fig. 5.2.2.3.16-1: Connection Resume in CM-IDLE with Suspend
Up
Step 1.
The NF Service Consumer shall request the SMF to resume the user plane connection of the PDU session by sending a POST request, as specified in clause 5.2.2.3.1, with the following information:
  • the upCnxState attribute set to ACTIVATING;
  • user location and user location timestamp;
  • cause attribute set to "PDU_SESSION_RESUMED";
  • N2 SM information received from the 5G-AN, i.e. Path Switch Request Transfer including the new transport layer address and tunnel endpoint of the downlink termination point for the user data for this PDU session (i.e. 5G-AN's GTP-U F-TEID for downlink traffic), or UE Context Resume Request Transfer;
  • additional N2 SM information received from the 5G-AN, if any;
  • the "MO Exception Data Counter" if the UE has accessed the network by using "MO exception data" RRC establishment cause;
  • other information, if necessary.
Step 2a.
If the SMF can proceed with resuming the user plane connection of the PDU session, the SMF shall return a 200 OK response including the following information:
  • the upCnxState attribute set to ACTIVATED;
  • N2 SM information, i.e. Path Switch Response Transfer including the transport layer address and tunnel endpoint of the uplink termination point for the user data for this PDU session (i.e. UPF's GTP-U F-TEID for uplink traffic), or UE Context Resume Response Transfer.
If the "MO Exception Data Counter" is included in the request and Small Data Rate Control is enabled for the PDU session, the V-SMF shall update the H-SMF (see clause 5.2.2.8.2.2) for HR PDU Session (or I-SMF shall update the SMF for PDU session with I-SMF).
Step 2b.
If the SMF cannot proceed with resuming the user plane connection of the PDU session, the SMF shall return an error response, as specified for step 2b of Figure 5.2.2.3.1-1, including:
  • the upCnxState attribute representing the final state of the user plane connection (e.g. SUSPENDED);
  • N2 SM information, including the cause of the failure.
