- the request for information about the UE includes an indication of a reporting type that indicates whether the request is intended to trigger a single standalone report or start the RAN to report whenever a change happens.
- the method also includes sending to the RAN or receiving from the AMF, a request to cancel UE information reporting.
- receiving information about the UE includes receiving a UE Information Report reporting that the UE has transitioned into an RRC Inactive state and that location information therefore from now on may be inaccurate.
- receiving information about the UE includes receiving a UE Information Report reporting that the UE has transitioned into RRC Connected state.
- the information about the UE also includes information about where the UE is currently located.
- the AMF and the RAN are part of a Fifth Generation (5G) communications network.
- the AMF and the RAN are part of a Fifth Generation (5G) communications network.
- the AMF and the RAN are part of a Fifth Generation (5G) communications network.
- communications between the RAN and the AMF are over an N2 interface between the RAN and the AMF.
- the present disclosure proposes to introduce a general UE information reporting procedure at the N2 interface which can either be used by the NR-RAN to report UE location information or the UE RRC state information and its transition, or both.
- Figure 1 depicts the non-roaming reference architecture for Fifth Generation (5G);
- Figure 2 illustrates the previous Location Reporting Procedure
- Figure 3 illustrates a procedure that can be used to report User
- Equipment information according to some embodiments of the present disclosure
- Figure 4 illustrates another procedure that can be used to report UE information according to some embodiments of the present disclosure
- Figures 5 and 6 illustrate example embodiments of a wireless device such as a UE.
- Figures 7 through 9 illustrate example embodiments of a network node.
- the Fifth Generation (5G) architecture is defined as service based, and the interaction between Network Functions (NFs) is represented in two ways.
- One is a service-based representation, where NFs within the control plane enable other authorized NFs to access their services. This representation also includes point-to-point reference points where necessary.
- the other is a reference point representation, which shows the interaction between the NF services in the NFs, described by point-to-point reference points between any two NFs (e.g., Core Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF) and Session Management Function (SMF)).
- AMF Core Access and Mobility Management Function
- SMF Session Management Function
- Figure 1 depicts the non-roaming reference architecture for 5G.
- the 5G System architecture consists of the following NFs and entities: Authentication Server Function (AUSF), AMF, Network Exposure Function (NEF), NF Repository Function (NRF), Policy Control Function (PCF), SMF Unified Data Management (UDM), User Plane Function (UPF), Application Function (AF), UE, (Radio) Access Network ((R)AN).

- UE Radio
- Radio Radio Access Network
- UE location reporting procedure exists at an N2 interface between RAN and AMF.
- RRC Radio Resource Control
- the 5GC is not aware of the UE transitions between CM- CONNECTED with RRC Connected and CM-CONNECTED with RRC Inactive state.
- Figure 2 illustrates the previous Location Reporting Procedure defined in TS 23.502 vO.5.0. This procedure is used by an AMF to request the RAN to report where the UE is currently located when the target UE is in CM- CONNECTED state. The need for the RAN to continue reporting ceases when the UE transitions to CM-IDLE or the AMF sends a cancel indication. This procedure may be used for services that require accurate cell identification (e.g. emergency services, lawful intercept, charging), or for subscription to the service by other NFs.
- This procedure may be used for services that require accurate cell identification (e.g. emergency services, lawful intercept, charging), or for subscription to the service by other NFs.
- the AMF sends a Location Reporting Control message to the RAN (step 100).
- the Location Reporting Control message shall identify the UE for which reports are requested, the requested location
- reporting type indicates whether the message is intended to trigger a single standalone report about the current Cell Identity serving the UE or start the RAN to report whenever the UE changes cell.
- the RAN sends a Location Report message informing the AMF about the location of the UE which shall include the requested location
- the AMF can send a Cancel Location Reporting message to inform the RAN that it should terminate location reporting for a given UE (step 104). This message is needed only when the reporting was requested for a reporting period. Location reporting is transferred during Xn handover, although new control signaling is not transferred during an active handover.
- a method of operating an AMF for obtaining information about a UE includes sending, to a RAN, a request for information about the UE and receiving, from the RAN, information about the UE.
- a method of operating a for reporting information about a UE includes receiving, from a AMF, a request for information about the UE and sending, to the AMF, information about the UE.
- a general UE information reporting procedure is introduced at the N2 interface which can be used by the RAN to report UE location info, UE RRC state information, and/or RRC state transitions.
- Figure 3 illustrates a procedure that can be used to report UE information according to some embodiments of the present disclosure.
- This procedure can be used to report both RRC state and location information.
- this procedure is used by an AMF to request the RAN to report UE information, i.e., where the UE is currently located or RRC state transition information, when the target UE is in CM-CONNECTED state.
- the need for the RAN to continue reporting ceases when the UE transitions to CM-IDLE or the AMF sends a cancel indication.
- This procedure may be used for services that require accurate cell identification (e.g., emergency services, lawful intercept, charging), or for subscription to the service by other NFs.
- RRC state and its transition notification from RAN to AMF is always performed based on local RAN configuration while in other embodiments it is based on request from AMF.
- the AMF 310 sends a UE information reporting control message to the RAN 320 (step 200), e.g. a UE information reporting control request message.
- the UE information reporting control message shall identify the UE for which reports are requested, and the requested information can be location information, RRC state information, or both, and may contain information such as reporting type.
- the RRC state information includes the RRC state and its transition.
- requested location information could be Tracking Area Identity (TAI) + cell identity and/or RRC state.
- TAI Tracking Area Identity
- Requesting both location information and RRC state information has the advantage of avoiding a separate procedure on N2 interface for each information type, which may introduce extra logic internally in the NF and also extra signaling on the N2 interface.
- the reporting type indicates whether the message is intended to trigger a single standalone report or start the RAN 320 to report whenever a change happens.
- the RAN 320 sends a UE information report message informing the AMF 310 about the location of the UE which shall include the requested location information if any, or (and) RRC state and its transition information (i.e., into RRC inactive or into RRC connected state) (step 202).
- Reporting both location information and RRC state information has the advantage of avoiding separate procedures on N2 interface for each information type, which may introduce extra logic internally in the NF and also extra signaling on the N2 interface.
- the RAN 320 sends a UE information report to the AMF 310 reporting that the UE has transitioned into RRC inactive state and that location information therefore from now on may be inaccurate and that location information reporting will commence again when the UE transitions into RRC connected state.
- the RAN 320 sends a subsequent UE information report to the AMF 310 when the UE has transitioned into RRC connected state reporting both the RRC state transition and the location.
- the AMF 310 can send a cancel UE information reporting message to inform the RAN 320 that it should terminate reporting for a given UE (step 204).
- a general UE information reporting procedure is introduced at the N2 interface which can be used by the RAN 320 to report UE location info, UE RRC state information, and/or RRC state transitions.
- Figure 4 illustrates another procedure that can be used to report UE information according to some embodiments of the present disclosure.
- This procedure is dedicated to report RRC state.
- this procedure is used by RAN to notify 5GC of the RRC state transition in case no serving RAN node change while the UE is in CM-CONNECTED state.
- the RAN suspends the RRC connection and performs a RRC connected to RRC inactive state transition or when the RAN resumes the RRC connection and performs a RRC inactive to RRC connected state transition, the RAN notifies the 5GC about the RRC state transition, together with the latest UE location information.
- the AMF 410 sends a UE state transition notification request message to the RAN 420 (step 300).
- the UE state transition notification request message may contain a reporting type to indicate whether the message triggers a single standalone report about the current RRC state or triggers the RAN 420 to report during a period whenever the RRC state changes until the UE transitions to CM-IDLE or the AMF 410 sends a cancel UE state notification.
- this indication can be sent when the UE context is established towards the RAN 420. In some embodiments, this indication can be sent after the UE context is established.
- the RAN 420 uses the UE notification message to report a transition into a new RRC state (i.e., RRC inactive state or RRC connected state), i.e. the RAN 420 sends a UE notification message to the AMF 410 (step 302).
- the UE notification message shall include the latest UE location information.
- the location report message of the location reporting procedure shall not be sent when the UE notification message is already triggered due to RRC state transition.
- the RAN does not send any location report messages for a UE that is in RRC inactive state.
- the AMF 410 can send a cancel UE state notification message to inform the RAN 420 that it should terminate notifications for a given UE (step 304).
