6.4.2.2 UE-requested PDU session modification procedure initiation

Taught in 4. Inside TS 24.501, the document at the centre (CT1 — the group that writes what your phone says, overview).

In order to initiate the UE-requested PDU session modification procedure, the UE shall create a PDU SESSION MODIFICATION REQUEST message.

The UE shall allocate a PTI value currently not used and shall set the PTI IE of the PDU SESSION MODIFICATION REQUEST message to the allocated PTI value.

The UE shall not perform the UE-requested PDU session modification procedure for an emergency PDU session, except for a procedure initiated according to clause 6.4.2.1, item e) only, and for the error cases described in clause 6.4.1.3 and clause 6.3.2.3.

The UE shall not perform the UE-requested PDU session modification procedure for a PDU session for LADN when the UE is located outside the LADN service area except for indicating a change of 3GPP PS data off UE status.

If the UE requests a specific QoS handling and the PDU session is not associated with the control plane only indication, the UE shall include the Requested QoS rules IE indicating requested QoS rules or the Requested QoS flow descriptions IE indicating requested QoS flow descriptions or both for the specific QoS handling. The Requested QoS rules IE includes the packet filters which describe the service data flows requested by the UE. The UE shall only request to modify or delete the packet filters that the UE has created. The specific QoS parameters requested by the UE are specified in the Requested QoS flow descriptions IE. If the UE requests the network to bind specific service data flows to a dedicated QoS flow, the UE shall create a new QoS rule by setting the rule operation code to "Create new QoS rule" and shall set the segregation bit to "Segregation requested" for the corresponding QoS rule in the Requested QoS rules IE. The UE shall set the QRI values to "no QoS rule identifier assigned" in the Requested QoS rules IE, if the QoS rules are newly created; otherwise, the UE shall set the QRI values to those of the existing QoS rules for which the specific QoS handling applies. The UE shall set the QFI values to "no QoS flow identifier assigned" in the Requested QoS flow descriptions IE, if the QoS flow descriptions are newly created; otherwise, the UE shall set the QFI values to the QFIs of the existing QoS flow descriptions for which the specific QoS handling applies. The UE shall not request to create more than one QoS flow in a UE-requested PDU session modification procedure. If the SMF receives a PDU SESSION MODIFICATION REQUEST message with a Requested QoS rules IE containing more than one QoS rule with the rule operation code set to "Create new QoS rule", the SMF shall assign the same QFI to all the QoS rules which are created.

If the UE requests to join or leave one or more multicast MBS sessions associated with a PDU session, the UE shall include the Requested MBS container IE in the PDU SESSION MODIFICATION REQUEST message and shall set the MBS operation to "Join multicast MBS session" for the join case or to "Leave MBS session" for the leave case. The UE shall include the multicast MBS session information(s) and shall set the Type of multicast MBS session ID for each of the multicast MBS session information to either "Temporary Mobile Group Identity (TMGI)" or "Source specific IP multicast address" depending on the type of the multicast MBS session ID available in the UE. Then the remaining values of each of the multicast MBS session informations shall be set as following:

  • if the Type of multicast MBS session ID is set to "Temporary Mobile Group Identity (TMGI)", the UE shall set the multicast MBS session ID to the TMGI; or
  • if the Type of multicast MBS session ID is set to "Source specific IP multicast address for IPv4" or " Source specific IP multicast address for IPv6", the UE shall set the Source IP address information and the Destination IP address information to the corresponding values.

The UE should not request to join a multicast MBS session for local MBS service if neither current TAI nor CGI of the current cell is part of the MBS service area(s) of the multicast MBS session, if the UE has valid information of the MBS service area(s) of the multicast MBS session.

NOTE 1: The UE obtains the details of the multicast MBS session ID(s) e.g,TMGI, Source IP address information and Destination IP address information as a pre-configuration in the UE or during the MBS service announcement which is out of scope of this specification. Pre-configuration can be provided in one or more of the following ways:

        • in a UE implementation-specific way (e.g. factory configuration);
        • in the USIM (see EF5MBSUECONFIG file in 3GPP TS 31.102 [22]); or
        • in the UE pre-configuration MO for MBS (see 3GPP TS 24.575 [65]).

  • the UE is performing the PDU session modification procedure to indicate the support of reflective QoS and the UE has not previously successfully performed the UE-requested PDU session modification to provide this indication, the UE shall set the RQoS bit to "Reflective QoS supported" in the 5GSM capability IE of the PDU SESSION MODIFICATION REQUEST message; or
  • the UE is performing the PDU session modification procedure to indicate that reflective QoS is not supported and the UE has not previously successfully performed the UE-requested PDU session modification to provide this indication, the UE shall set the RQoS bit to "Reflective QoS not supported" in the 5GSM capability IE of the PDU SESSION MODIFICATION REQUEST message.

If the UE is performing the PDU session modification procedure to revoke the previously indicated support of reflective QoS and the PDU session is not associated with the control plane only indication, the UE shall set the RQoS bit to "Reflective QoS not supported" in the 5GSM capability IE of the PDU SESSION MODIFICATION REQUEST message. The UE shall not indicate support for reflective QoS for this PDU Session for the remaining lifetime of the PDU Session.

NOTE 2: The determination to revoke the usage of reflective QoS by the UE for a PDU session is implementation dependent.

In order for the UE to allow the network to upgrade the PDU session to an MA PDU session, the UE shall set "MA PDU session network upgrade is allowed" in the MA PDU session information IE and set the request type to "modification request" in the UL NAS TRANSPORT message.

NOTE 4: If the DNN corresponds to an LADN DNN, the AMF does not forward the MA PDU session information IE to the SMF but sends the message back to the UE to inform of the unhandled request (see clause 5.4.5.2.5).

In case the UE executes case a) or b), the UE shall:

  • set the ATSSS-ST bits in the 5GSM capability IE of the PDU SESSION MODIFICATION REQUEST message to indicate the ATSSS-LL and MPTCP functionalities, respectively, which the UE supports (see table 9.11.4.1.1) according to what is specified in clause 5.32.6.1 of 3GPP TS 23.501 [8]; and

NOTE 4A: Usage of the ATSSS-ST bits to indicate support for ATSSS functionality was deprecated in Rel-18 in favor of the ATSSS-LL, MPTCP, MPQUIC-UDP, MPQUIC-IP and MPQUIC-E bits. The setting of the ATSSS-ST in the 5GSM capability IE bits is necessary for backward compatibility with the earlier releases. The UE sets the ATSSS-ST field in the same way as a UE from previous releases.

NOTE 5: The ATSSS LL functionality cannot be used together with the redundant steering mode. When the UE indicates that it is capable of supporting the ATSSS LL functionality with any steering mode allowed for ATSSS-LL, it implies that the UE supports the ATSSS LL functionality with any steering mode except the redundant steering mode.
