US 2022/0338299 A1 · METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR TERMINALS REGISTERED VIA MULTIPLE ACCESS NETWORKS

Abstract

The apparatus includes a processor configured to send, over a 3rd Generation Partnership project (3GPP) access, a notifying message regarding non-3GPP access to a user equipment, the user equipment being simultaneously registered to the communication network via the 3GPP access and via the non-3GPP access, the user equipment being in a connection management-idle state over the non-3GPP access. The method includes sending over a 3rd Generation Partnership project (3GPP) access a notifying message regarding non-3GPP access to a user equipment, the user equipment being simultaneously registered to a communication network via the 3GPP access and via the non-3GPP access, the user equipment being in a connection management-idle state over the non-3GPP access.

Claims9

Dependent claims

A network node in a communication network, comprising:

at least one processor;
and
at least one memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, causes the network node to,
send, over a 3rd Generation Partnership project (3GPP) access, a notifying message regarding non-3GPP access to a user equipment, the user equipment being simultaneously registered to the communication network via the 3GPP access and via the non-3GPP access,
said user equipment being in a connection management-idle state over the non-3GPP access.
