Abstract
A session management function (SMF) receives, from a user plane function (UPF), a data notification message for a multi access (MA) packet data unit (PDU) session associated with multiple tunnels between multiple access network types and a PDU session anchor. The SMF sends, to an access and mobility management function (AMF), a first request to activate user plane resources. The first request comprises an indication of an access network type, from among the multiple access network types, of the MA PDU session.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving, by a session management function (SMF) from a user plane function (UPF), a data notification message for a multi access (MA) packet data unit (PDU) session associated with multiple tunnels between multiple access network types and a PDU session anchor;
- and
- sending, by the SMF to an access and mobility management function (AMF), a first request to activate user plane resources of an access network type from among the multiple access network types of the MA PDU session, wherein the first request comprises an indication of the access network type, from among the multiple access network types.
A session management function (SMF) comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the SMF to:
- receive, from a user plane function (UPF), a data notification message for a multi access (MA) packet data unit (PDU) session associated with multiple tunnels between multiple access network types and a PDU session anchor;
- and
- send, to an access and mobility management function (AMF), a first request to activate user plane resources of an access network type from among the multiple access network types of the MA PDU session, wherein the first request comprises an indication of the access network type, from among the multiple access network types.
A system, comprising:
- a session management function (SMF) comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors of the SMF, cause the SMF to:
- receive, from a user plane function (UPF), a data notification message for a multi access (MA) packet data unit (PDU) session associated with multiple tunnels between multiple access network types and a PDU session anchor;
- and
- send, to an access and mobility management function (AMF), a first request to activate user plane resources of an access network type from among the multiple access network types of the MA PDU session, wherein the first request comprises an indication of the access network type, from among the multiple access network types.
