Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A wireless communication method for use in a wireless network function comprises receiving, from a first session management function (SMF) a registration request of a packet data unit (PDU) session corresponding to a second SMF, and transmitting, to the second SMF, a notification which indicates the PDU session is controlled by another SMF.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
1 . A wireless communication method for use in a unified data management (UDM) function, comprising: receiving, from a first session management function (SMF) a registration request of a packet data unit, PDU, session corresponding to a second SMF, and transmitting, to the second SMF, a notification which indicates the PDU session is controlled by another SMF, wherein the notification indicates the second SMF to release the PDU session. 2 . The wireless communication method of claim 1 , further comprising: changing a registration context of the PDU session from indicating the second SMF to indicating the first SMF, wherein the notification indicates the registration context of the PDU session is changed from indicating the second SMF to indicating another SMF. 3 . The wireless communication method of claim 1 , wherein the notification relates to an SMF registration event associated to the PDU session and comprises an identification (ID) of the PDU session, a data network name (DNN), an ID of the first SMF. 4 . The wireless communication method of claim 3 , wherein the notification further comprises a multi-access PDU (MA-PDU) indication of the registration request for indicating the PDU session being an MA-PDU session. 5 . The wireless communication method of claim 3 , further comprising: receiving, from the second SMF, a subscription request for subscribing the notification related to the SMF registration event. 6 . The wireless communication method of claim 1 , wherein the notification is an SMF deregistration notification which indicates that the PDU session is to be released or that the PDU session is downgraded from an MA-PDU session to a single access PDU (SA-PDU) session. 7 . A wireless communication method for use in a second session management function (SMF), the wireless communication method comprising: receiving, from a unified data management (UDM) function, a notification which indicates that a packet data session (PDU) of the second SMF is controlled by another SMF, and releasing the PDU session based on the notification. 8 . The wireless communication method of claim 7 , wherein the notification indicates that a registration context of the PDU session is changed from indicating the second SMF to indicating another SMF. 9 . The wireless communication method of claim 7 , wherein the notification relates to an SMF registration event associated to the PDU session and comprises an identification (ID) of the PDU session, a data network name (DNN), an ID of a first SMF. 10 . The wireless communication method of claim 9 , wherein the notification further comprises a multi-access PDU (MA-PDU) indication of the registration request for indicating the PDU session is a MA-PDU session. 11 . The wireless communication method of claim 10 , further comprising: transmitting, to the UDM function, a subscription request for subscribing the notification related to the SMF registration event. 12 . The wireless communication method of claim 7 , wherein the notification is an SMF deregistration notification which indicates that the PDU session is to be released or the PDU session is downgraded from an MA-PDU session to a single access PDU (SA-PDU) session. 13 . A unified data management (UDM) function, comprising: a communication unit, configured to: receive, from a first session management function (SMF), a registration request of a packet data unit (PDU) session corresponding to a second SMF, and transmit, to the second SMF, a notification which indicates the PDU session is controlled by another SMF, wherein the notification indicates the second SMF to release the PDU session. 14 . A session management function (SMF) comprising: a communication unit, configured to receive, from a unified data management (UDM) function, a notification which indicates that a packet data session (PDU) of the SMF is controlled by another SMF, and a processor, configured to release the PDU session based on the notification.
