Mobility from 5GS to EPS for PDU session carrying data flow

By identifying and releasing non-transmitting PDU sessions through AMF, and replacing values ​​ranging from 5 to 15 with values ​​ranging from 1 to 4 in EBI replacement, the problem of the target MME not supporting 15 EPS bearers was solved, and reasonable bearer mapping and resource management in 5GS to EPS mobility were realized.

Abstract

A method performed by a network node for transporting protocol data unit (PDU) sessions of a user equipment (UE) during a mobility procedure of the UE from a fifth generation system (5GS) to an evolved packet system (EPS) is disclosed. The method includes one or more of the following steps: determining that a target mobility management entity (MME) of the mobility procedure in the EPS supports a first number of EPS bearers, the first number of EPS bearers being less than a second number of EPS bearer identities (EBIs) assigned to a plurality of PDU sessions (e.g., and their associated quality of service (QoS) flows) of the UE to be transported from the 5GS to the EPS; determining which PDU sessions and / or QoS flows of the UE are not to be transported to the target MME; and releasing, requesting release of, or initiating release of the PDU sessions and / or QoS flows that are not to be transported to the target MME.
