CPC H04L 65/1016 (2013.01) [H04L 65/1069 (2013.01); H04W 36/00226 (2023.05); H04W 36/322 (2023.05); H04W 36/00695 (2023.05); H04W 36/144 (2023.05)] | 10 Claims |
6. A Next Generation Radio Access Network (NG-RAN) device comprising:
a transceiver;
at least one processor; and
at least one memory for storing instructions and electrically connected to the at least one processor,
wherein the instructions cause the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:
receiving a NAS (Non-Access-Stratum) message including a Protocol Data Unit (PDU) session establishment request for establishment of a PDU session for an Internet protocol Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) voice service via a 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) access from a User Equipment (UE),
wherein the PDU session establishment request indicates an existing PDU session, based on a handover from a non-3GPP access to the 3GPP access for the UE,
wherein the UE had the existing PDU session for the IMS voice service via the non-3GPP access before the handover;
transmitting the NAS message including the PDU session establishment request to an Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF);
receiving a PDU session resource setup request for the PDU session for the IMS voice service from the AMF;
determining to trigger an Evolved Packet System (EPS) Fallback, or a radio access technology (RAT) Fallback, for the IMS voice session based on the NG-RAN not supporting the IMS voice service; and
transmitting a rejection of the establishment of the PDU session to the AMF, based on the determination to trigger the EPS Fallback or the RAT Fallback.
