4.4.5 Application Triggering Services
Taught in 21. Emergency calls, messages, voice and location (The 5G system architecture, in depth).
See clause 5.2.6.1 of TS 23.502 [3].
Application trigger message contains information that allows the network to route the message to the appropriate UE and the UE to route the message to the appropriate application. The information destined to the application, excluding the information to route it, is referred to as the Trigger payload. The Trigger payload is implementation specific.
NOTE: The application in the UE may perform actions indicated by the Trigger payload when the Triggered payload is received at the UE. For example initiation of immediate or later communication with the application server based on the information contained in the Trigger payload, which includes the PDU Session Establishment procedure if the related PDU Session is not already established.
