5.17.2.3.4 Redirection for UEs in connected state

Taught in 19. Living next to 4G (The 5G system architecture, in depth), 7. Roaming, other accesses, the edge and the outside (The 5G system architecture, overview).

When the UE supports single-registration mode or dual-registration mode without N26 interface:

  • If the UE is in CM-CONNECTED state in 5GC, the NG-RAN may perform RRC Connection Release with Redirection to E-UTRAN based on certain criteria (e.g. based on local configuration in NG-RAN, or triggered by the AMF upon receiving Handover Request message from NG-RAN).
  • If the UE is in ECM-CONNECTED state in EPC, the E-UTRAN may perform RRC Connection release with redirection to NG-RAN based on certain criteria (e.g. based on local configuration in E-UTRAN, or triggered by the MME upon receiving handover request from E-UTRAN).
