Abstract
The present application provides a method and apparatus for supporting general registration of user equipment to facilitate MO only mode preferences.
Claims14
A method for managing a connection of a user equipment (UE) to a network, the method comprising actions at an access and mobility management function (AMF) of the network of:
- receiving a registration request from the UE comprising a mobile initiated connection only (MICO) mode preference;
- and
- transmitting a response to the UE, the response including a determination indicating that the MICO mode is allowed for the UE, a value of a periodic registration update timer, and an indication for disabling the UE's reset of the periodic registration update timer before the periodic registration update timer expires.
An access and mobility management function (AMF) node of a network comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a machine-readable memory for storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the AMF node to perform actions of managing a connection of a user equipment (UE) to the network including:
- receiving a registration request from the UE comprising a mobile initiated connection only (MICO) mode preference;
- and
- transmitting a response to the UE, the response including a determination indicating that the MICO mode is allowed for the UE, a value of a periodic registration update timer, and an indication for disabling the UE's reset of the periodic registration update timer before the periodic registration update timer expires.

A method for managing a connection of a user equipment (UE) to a network, the method comprising actions at the UE including:
- transmitting a registration request comprising a mobile initiated connection only (MICO) mode preference to an access and mobility management function (AMF) in the network;
- receiving a response from the AMF, the response including a determination indicating that the MICO mode is allowed, a value of a periodic registration update timer, and an indication for disabling the UE's reset of the periodic registration update timer before the periodic registration update timer expires;
- starting the periodic registration update timer after receiving the response, where a duration of the periodic registration update timer is equal to the received value;
- and
- keeping the periodic registration update timer running irrespective of a transition from an idle state to a state of connection to the network until expiry of the periodic registration update timer according to the indication.
