USER EQUIPMENT (UE) MOBILITY BETWEEN EVOLVED PACKET SYSTEM (EPS) AND FIFTH GENERATION (5G) SYSTEM (5GS) USING A SIMPLIFIED 3GPP CORE ARCHITECTURE FOR INTERWORKING
Abstract:
An enterprise private network includes a simplified Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) core architecture for interworking between an Evolved Packet System (EPS) and a Fifth Generation (5G) system (5GS). The architecture includes an Evolved Packet Core (EPC) control plane (CP) (EPC CP) unit and a 5G core (5GC) CP (5GC CP) unit. The 5GC CP unit receives, from the EPC CP unit via an N26 interface, a message indicating a forward relocation request responsive to an indication of a handover of a Packet Data Network (PDN) connection at a user plane node from the EPS to the 5GS. The 5GC CP node establishes a Protocol Data Unit (PDU) session corresponding to the PDN connection based on PDN connection information in the message, which includes establishing a Quality of Service (QoS) Flow corresponding to an EPS bearer, and manages the PDU session at the user plane node.
