  • the terminal and the network node may perform a corresponding PDU session release procedure.
  • the reason why the PDU session release procedure is performed is that the change of the application server fails in a situation where the SMF determines that UPF relocation is necessary. For example, in this situation, in order for the terminal to receive an appropriate service at the application level and the core level, the application server must be changed, and the changed application server and the PDU session related to UPF 3 must be established. However, since the change of the application server has failed, the terminal needs to perform application-level communication with the PDU session related to UPF 2, so that synchronization between the application level and the core level is not well matched. For this reason, since the UE cannot receive an appropriate service even at the core level, a PDU session release procedure for releasing a PDU session related to UPF 2 may be performed at the core level.
  • the PDU session release procedure for the corresponding PDU session is not performed, and the PDU session is released.
