AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In 5G systems, conflicts between the Session Management (SM) and Mobility Management (MM) processes lead to synchronization problems between the UE and the network, resulting in latency and wasted resources.

Method used

The configuration of embedding a wait timer in the SM message initiated by the network is used to indicate the response time that the UE should wait after the MM procedure is completed, so as to properly process the SM message.

Benefits of technology

By using a waiting timer mechanism, synchronization problems between the UE and the network are prevented, improving the coordination efficiency of the SM and MM processes and reducing latency and retransmissions.

Abstract

The present disclosure provides methods and apparatuses for session management and mobility management procedure conflict handling. One method for session management and mobility management procedure conflict handling includes receiving, by a processor of a device, a network initiated SM message from a network node, wherein the network initiated SM message includes a configuration of a wait timer, starting, by the processor, the wait timer upon completion of a MM procedure, and responding, by the processor, to the network initiated SM message based on the wait timer. By utilizing the present disclosure, communications can be better performed.
