Abstract

Apparatuses, methods, and systems are disclosed for correlating a user equipment and an access and mobility management function. One method (900) includes determining (902), at a first network device, a correlation between a user equipment identifier for a user equipment and an access and mobility management function identifier for an access and mobility management function. The method (900) includes storing (904), by the first network device, correlation information indicating the correlation between the user equipment identifier and the access and mobility management function identifier. The method (900) includes receiving (906), at the first network device, a request from a second network device, wherein the request comprises the user equipment identifier. The method (900) includes determining (908), by the first network device, the access and mobility management function identifier using the user equipment identifier in the request.
