Abstract
A user equipment (UE) may perform a UE parameter update (UPU) procedure or a steering of roaming (SoR) procedure based on information received from a home public land mobile network (HPLMN). The UE receives, from a network component, an update container comprising updated parameters for the UE and a counter value associated with the update container, compares the counter value with a stored value and performs an action related to the update container based on at least the comparison of the counter value with the stored value.
Claims18
A network component implementing a unified data management (UDM) function of a core network, comprising:
- one or more processors configured to perform operations comprising:
- initiating a user equipment (UE) parameter update for a routing indicator update, the routing indicator update comprising updating an old routing indicator being used by the UE to a new routing indicator, wherein the old routing indicator is associated with an old unified data management (UDM) instance and an old authentication server function (AUSF) instance and the new routing indicator is associated with a new UDM instance and a new AUSF instance;
- sending a transmission including an indication of the UE parameter update to an access and mobility management function (AMF) of the core network;
- receiving an indication from the AMF that the UE is not reachable;
- and
- setting a status of the routing indicator update to pending in response to the indication from the AMF that the UE is not reachable.
A computer readable storage medium comprising a set of instructions that when executed by a processor of a unified data management (UDM) function of a core network causes the processor to perform operations, comprising:
- initiating a user equipment (UE) parameter update for a routing indicator update, the routing indicator update comprising updating an old routing indicator being used by the UE to a new routing indicator, wherein the old routing indicator is associated with an old unified data management (UDM) instance and an old authentication server function (AUSF) instance and the new routing indicator is associated with a new UDM instance and a new AUSF instance;
- sending a transmission including an indication of the UE parameter update to an access and mobility management function (AMF) of the core network;
- receiving an indication from the AMF that the UE is not reachable;
- and
- setting a status of the UE parameter update to pending in response to the indication from the AMF that the UE is not reachable.
One or more processors of a unified data management (UDM) function of a core network configured to perform operations, the operations comprising:
- initiating a user equipment (UE) parameter update for a routing indicator update, the routing indicator update comprising updating an old routing indicator being used by the UE to a new routing indicator, wherein the old routing indicator is associated with an old unified data management (UDM) instance and an old authentication server function (AUSF) instance and the new routing indicator is associated with a new UDM instance and a new AUSF instance;
- sending a transmission including an indication of the UE parameter update to an access and mobility management function (AMF) of the core network;
- receiving an indication from the AMF that the UE is not reachable;
- and
- setting a status of the UE parameter update to pending in response to the indication from the AMF that the UE is not reachable.
