FAST RETURN TO 5G SYSTEMS (5GS) AFTER HANDOVER TO EVOLVED PACKET SYSTEM (EPS) DUE TO EPS FALLBACK FROM 5GS
Abstract:
Some embodiments of this disclosure include apparatuses and methods for managing a fast return of a user equipment (UE) to 5G systems (5GS) after handover to Evolved Packet System (EPS) due to EPS fallback from 5GS. The method can include at least generating a handover request including an indication indicating a handover reason of no presence of quality of service (QoS) flow for a voice signal to the UE; receiving a handover command generated by an access and mobility management function (AMF) to transfer the UE from the 5GS to the EPS based on the handover request; transmitting the handover command to the UE for the UE to establish a connection with the EPS; and after the flow of the voice signal has terminated, reestablishing a connection with the UE to reconnect the UE to the 5GS, wherein the connection with the BS is re-established based on a target ID of the BS.
