- a terminal having multiple SIMs may receive a service based on another SIM (e.g. SIM B) while receiving a service based on one SIM (e.g. SIM A) (that is, the terminal is in a connected state).
- the terminal in order for the terminal to receive a service based on another SIM (e.g. SIM B), the terminal performs a leaving procedure for the network of SIM A. That is, the leaving procedure is performed only when the terminal is in the connected state, and when the network receives a signal related to the leaving procedure from the terminal, the network releases the terminal's connection.
- the network may send the UE to the IDLE state or the RRC_Inactive state.
- the AMF when the AMF receives the leaving indication from the terminal, the AMF is configured to perform the AN release.

- a detailed operation according to the procedure shown in FIG. 9 may be performed in the same manner as an operation according to the prior art (eg, refer to 3GPP TS 23.502 V16.7.0 Section 3.2.6 AN Release).
- the AN Release procedure is mainly started in the RAN.
- the RAN may initiate an AN Release procedure.
- the inactivity timer may be a timer that expires when there is no data transmission between the RAN and the UE for a predetermined time.
- the RAN may make the UE into RRC_Idle or RRC_Inactive state.
- the RAN may transmit the currently activated (ie, activated) PDU Session information in step 1b.
- the RAN may transmit the N2 UE Context Release Request message including the currently activated PDU session information to the AMF.
- AMF When AMF receives a message including activated PDU Session information, AMF must first perform steps 5 to 7 before performing step 2. This is to release the network-side resource first so that there is no charging issue. For example, since the AMF performs steps 5 to 7 first, all resources related to the activated PDU session of the UE may be released at the network end. Accordingly, by not transmitting data from the core network end to the RAN, the data is not discarded in the RAN, so an additional charging problem for the UE may not occur.
- the AMF may perform steps 5 to 7 with each SMF that manages the corresponding PDU session based on the PDU Session ID uploaded by the RAN. After steps 5 to 7 are performed, the AMF may perform the procedure according to steps 2, 3, and 4.
- the AMF receives the NAS message including the leave indication from the UE, the AN release procedure is started in the AMF rather than the RAN. That is, the AN Release procedure is performed from step 2 in the example of FIG. 9 .
- the AMF since the AMF does not have information on the currently activated PDU Session, the AMF cannot determine which SMFs to request the user plane resource release (or deactivation). Therefore, in this case, the AMF must request deactivation from the SMFs related to all PDU Sessions of the UE. Therefore, unnecessary signaling for deactivation must be performed even for a PDU Session that has already been deactivated (ie, a PDU Session in which the user plane is not activated).
- the UE may have both an activated PDU session and a deactivated PDU session, but the AMF does not know information about the currently activated PDU session. Therefore, since the AMF must request deactivation from the SMFs related to all PDU sessions of the UE, unnecessary signaling for deactivation must be performed even for the already deactivated PDU sessions. In addition, the reason why the terminal sends a leave indication may be because the terminal wants a service through another SIM. Therefore, it should be possible to perform the AN Release procedure as quickly as possible. However, due to such unnecessary signaling, the AN Release procedure may take a long time.
- the terminal may transmit paging restriction information while requesting leaving.
- the paging restriction may be a function of the terminal requesting paging only for a specific service.
- the paging restriction information transmitted by the terminal may include information that wants to receive paging only for a specific PDU session / PDN connection.
- the network eg AMF
- the network determines whether to perform paging by checking the paging restriction when downlink data to the terminal occurs.
- the terminal can only request paging for the voice service (eg, by the terminal sending paging restriction information), and in this case, the network does not perform paging to the terminal when downlink data other than the voice service occurs. does not
- This paging restriction may be applied when the terminal is in Connection Management (CM)-IDLE state or RRC_Inactive state.
- CM-IDLE Connection Management
- MME Mobility Management Entity
- AMF Access Management Function
- the RAN When the UE is in the RRC_Inactive state, the downlink tunnel is connected to the RAN, so data is directly transmitted from the core network to the RAN, and the RAN can perform paging restriction. However, in this case, when the generated data is data that the UE does not want to paging, the RAN may discard this data. If the RAN discards this data, a charging issue occurs. This is because, after the data is transmitted from the core network to the RAN, the RAN discards the data. Specifically, charging for the terminal is generally determined based on the amount of data actually transmitted from the UPF. If the RAN randomly discards data, the charging record collected in the UPF and the amount of data actually transmitted to the terminal may be different. , overcharge for the terminal may occur.

- the SMF may perform user plane setup by transmitting an N2 message to the RAN.
- the SMF may transmit the N2 message to the RAN via the AMF.
- the AMF since the AMF transmits a PDU Session Resource Setup message at this time, it is possible to know which PDU Session is activated.

- the NG-RAN may transmit an N2 UE context release request message to the AMF. . Then, the AMF may request to release the N3 tunnel by triggering the Nsmf_PDUSession_UpdateSMContext.
- the AMF may transmit an N2 UE Context Release Command message. If the RRC connection is released first, the NG-RAN must discard all packets received through the N3 tunnel. Since the NG-RAN does not report the number of discarded packets, the network charges the UE based on the packets transmitted in the UPF. At this time, due to the discarded packets in the NG-RAN, the network has a problem of excessively charging the UE. To avoid this problem, the AN Release procedure can be designed to release the N3 tunnel first before releasing the RRC connection, unless there is an error such as Radio Link Failure (RLF).

- the NG-RAN may decide to keep the UE in the RRC_Inactive state. In this case, the NG-RAN may not trigger the AN Release procedure.
- the following operation may be proposed to avoid a charging issue.
- the AMF may notify the NG-RAN, and the NG-RAN may determine to perform the AN release procedure.
- a similar problem may occur when the UE is in RRC_Inactive state and paging restriction is enforced by the NG-RAN. For example, if the NG-RAN receives a packet from the UPF and the packet is restricted by a paging restriction, this packet should be discarded by the NG-RAN without interaction with the core network.
- Observation 3 When the UE is in the RRC_Inactive state, a charging issue may occur if paging restriction is enforced by the NG-RAN.
- the UPF can enforce the paging restriction when the terminal is in Inactive.
- the AMF may request the NG-RAN to notify the AMF when the UE enters the RRC_Inactive state by using the N2 Notification procedure. And, when the AMF learns from the NG-RAN that the UE is in the RRC_Inactive state, the AMF may transmit paging restriction information to the SMF. Based on the paging restriction information, the SMF can update the N4 rule so that the UPF can perform the paging restriction. Then, the SMF may transmit the updated N4 rule to the UPF.
- the AMF again clears the paging restriction for the SMF (eg, the AMF sends a request to stop the paging restriction to the SMF) Should be. Then, by updating the N4 rule for the UPF, the SMF may allow paging to operate normally. In this case, there is a problem that signaling occurs in the network when the UE is changed to the RRC Inactive state and whenever the UE is changed to the RRC Connected state.
- the AMF may maintain the UE in the CM-IDLE state. As an example, the AMF may perform this operation by using the N2 notification procedure. For example, the AMF may transmit an N2 message including "RRC Inactive Transition Report Request" to the NG-RAN.
- the AMF informs the NG-RAN that the UE is leaving, the NG-RAN may request the NG-RAN to report the RRC status of the UE to the AMF.
- the AMF may trigger an AN release procedure.
- the AMF informs the NG-RAN of leaving (eg, the AMF performs step 2 in FIG. 12 ), and the AMF sends the terminal to the NG-RAN in the RRC_Inactive state. Can you tell me if I can send it to .
- the AMF may inform the NG-RAN of whether the UE may be directly sent to the RRC_Inactive state.
- the AMF may indirectly inform the NG-RAN of information such as whether the terminal has transmitted a paging restriction.
- the network eg, AMF
- the network is the CN in the initial context setup process for the terminal. Assistance information may not be transmitted to the NG-RAN.
- the NG-RAN may put the UE in the RRC_Inactive state only when it has CN assistance information. Accordingly, when the NG-RAN does not receive the CN assistance information, the NG-RAN does not put the UE into the RRC_Inactive state.
- the name of the CN assistance information may be, for example, Core Network Assistance Information for RRC INACTIVE or RRC Inactive Assistance Information.
- the NG-RAN may change the UE state to the RRC_Inactive state only when receiving CN assistance information from the AMF.
- the CN assistance information may include information such as a registration area of the terminal and a periodic registration timer.
- the NG-RAN may determine the RAN-based Notification Area (RNA) of the UE based on the CN assistance information.
- RNA may be a region similar to the Registration area managed by NG-RAN. When the UE leaves the RNA, the NG-RAN may transmit RRC signaling to the UE to perform an RNA update procedure.
- the AMF may perform an operation as in the following example. For example, when the AMF transmits information on whether the UE may send the UE to the RRC Inactive state (can change the UE state to the RRC Inactive state) to the NG-RAN, the AMF considers the following example situation By doing so, it is possible to determine whether the terminal may be sent to the RRC Inactive state (the state of the terminal may be changed to the RRC Inactive state):
- the AMF may decide not to change the status of the UE to RRC_Inactive;
- the AMF may determine whether to change the state of the Multi-SIM terminal to the CM-IDLE state based on the operator policy. That is, the AMF may determine whether or not to change the state of the Multi-SIM terminal to the RRC_Inactive state based on the operator policy;
- AMF may determine whether to change the state of the terminal to the RRC_Inactive state based on whether the network (eg, AMF) supports the paging restriction of the terminal. (For example, if the network (eg, AMF) supports the paging restriction, the AMF may decide not to send the RRC_Inactive regardless of whether the UE requests the paging restriction); and/or
- the AMF may determine whether to change the state of the terminal to the RRC_Inactive state (eg, if the terminal is in a non-allowed area, the AMF is It may be decided not to change to the RRC_Inactive state of the UE).
- the AMF may perform one of the four operations exemplified above.
- the AMF may be performed by combining at least one of the four operations.
- the AMF may request the NG-RAN to report the RRC status of the UE.
- the AMF may trigger the AN Release procedure.
- the AMF may perform the operation of the AMF described in the fourth example of the disclosure of the present specification. For example, if AMF knows that NG-RAN can buffer (AMF is based on capability information exchange in operator configuration or NG interface setup process or capability information exchange in initial context setup process, etc., NG-RAN It can be seen that this buffering can be done), AMF may allow the NG-RAN to maintain the state of the UE in the RRC_Inactive state.
- the AMF may not perform the operation of the AMF described in the fourth example of the disclosure of the present specification.
- the terminal may provide the AMF with information on how long to leave. For example, the terminal may provide an indication of leaving only for a short period or timer information on how long to leave. Based on this information, the AMF can determine whether NG-RAN buffering is possible while the terminal is leaving.
