Abstract
A wireless communication method for use in a network entity is disclosed. The method comprises receiving, from a wireless terminal, an indicator associated with a capability of supporting at least one method of interacting with an external network for a packet data connection authentication and/or authorization of the external network, and performing a procedure based on the indicator, wherein the procedure is associated with establishing a packet data network connectivity in a second network.
Claims12
A wireless communication method for use in a network entity, the method comprising:
- receiving, from a wireless terminal registered in a first network and that has established a protocol data unit (PDU) session in the first network, an indicator associated with a capability of supporting at least one method of interacting with an external network for a packet data connection authentication and/or authorization of the external network,
- transmitting, to the wireless terminal, an extensible authentication protocol (EAP) authentication request, and
- performing a procedure based on the EAP authentication request, wherein the procedure is associated with performing handover of the protocol data unit (PDU) session of the wireless terminal from the first network to a second network as the packet data network connectivity,
- wherein the first network is associated with a 5G system and the second network is associated with an evolved packet system.
A wireless communication method for use in a wireless terminal, the method comprising:
- registering in a first network and establishing a protocol data unit (PDU) session in the first network before transmitting an indicator to a network entity,
- transmitting, to the network entity, the indicator associated with a capability of supporting at least one method of interacting with an external network for a packet data connection authentication and/or authorization of the external network,
- receiving, from the network entity, an extensible authentication protocol (EAP) authentication request, and
- performing a procedure based on the EAP authentication request, wherein the procedure is associated with performing handover of the protocol data unit (PDU) session of the wireless terminal from the first network to a second network as the packet data network connectivity,
- wherein the first network is associated with a 5G system and the second network is associated with an evolved packet system.
A network entity, comprising a processor and a storage unit, wherein the processor is configured to read a program code from the storage unit and perform:
- receiving, from a wireless terminal registered in a first network and that has established a protocol data unit (PDU) session in the first network, an indicator associated with a capability of supporting at least one method of interacting with an external network for a packet data connection authentication and/or authorization of the external network,
- transmitting, to the wireless terminal, an extensible authentication protocol (EAP) authentication request, and
- performing a procedure based on the EAP authentication request, wherein the procedure is associated with performing handover of the protocol data unit (PDU) session of the wireless terminal from the first network to a second network as the packet data network connectivity,
- wherein the first network is associated with a 5G system and the second network is associated with an evolved packet system.
A wireless terminal, comprising a processor and a storage unit, wherein the processor is configured to read a program code from the storage unit and perform:
- registering in a first network and establishing a protocol data unit (PDU) session in the first network before transmitting an indicator to a network entity,
- transmitting, to the network entity, the indicator associated with a capability of supporting at least one method of interacting with an external network for a packet data connection authentication and/or authorization of the external network,
- receiving, from the network entity, an extensible authentication protocol (EAP) authentication request, and
- performing a procedure based on the EAP authentication request, wherein the procedure is associated with performing handover of the protocol data unit (PDU) session of the wireless terminal from the first network to a second network as the packet data network connectivity,
- wherein the first network is associated with a 5G system and the second network is associated with an evolved packet system.
