TEID of 0 shall be used for the Delete PDN Connection Set Request.
Only one type of FQ-CSID shall be included in each Delete PDN Connection Set Request, A mix of different types, such as SGW-FQ-CSID and PGW-FQ-CSID shall not be used. A combined node, such as a collocated PGW/SGW, shall send separate Delete PDN Connection Set Request for the PGW role and one for the SGW role if a partial fault impacts more than one role.
7.9.2 Delete PDN Connection Set Response

TEID of 0 shall be used for the Delete PDN Connection Set Response.
The following Cause values are defined:
– "Request Accepted"
– "Request rejected"
– "System failure".
– "Mandatory IE incorrect".
– "Conditional IE missing".
– "Invalid message format".
"Request Accepted" indicates the receiving node was capable of storing a CSID value for each PDN connection for the type of node (MME, SGW, PGW, TWAN or ePDG) in the Delete PDN Connection Set Request and has marked, or will mark immediately, the PDN connections for deletion as specified in 3GPP TS 23.007 [17]. "Request Accepted" shall be returned even if there are no PDN connections that match.
"Request rejected" shall be used when the receiver of the Delete PDN Connection Set Request is not capable of storing at least one CSID value per PDN connection for the type of node (MME, SGW, PGW, TWAN or ePDG) received in the Delete PDN Connection Set Request.
The SGW shall respond to the Delete PDN Connection Set Request independently, i.e. without waiting for replies.
7.9.3 Update PDN Connection Set Request
The SGW shall send this message to the PGW on S5/S8 according to the requirements in TS 23.007 [17].

7.9.5 PGW Restart Notification
The direction of this message shall be from SGW to MME/S4-SGSN (see Table 6.1-1).
If both the SGW and the MME/S4-SGSN support the PRN feature (see clause 8.83), a PGW Restart Notification shall be sent when the SGW detects that the peer PGW has restarted, and a PGW Restart Notification may be sent when the SGW detects that the peer PGW has failed and not restarted, as specified in 3GPP TS 23.007 [17].
Table 7.9.5-1 specifies the presence of IEs in this message.

7.9.7 PGW Downlink Triggering Notification
The direction of this message shall be from PGW to SGW and from SGW to MME(s)/S4-SGSN(s).
The PGW Downlink Triggering Notification shall be sent as part of the PGW triggered SGW restoration procedure if the MME/S4-SGSN, SGW and PGW support this optional feature as specified in 3GPP TS 23.007 [17].

NOTE 1: The SGW shall set the header TEID value in the PGW Downlink Triggering Acknowledge to the PGW’s Control Plane TEID if the ‘PGW S5 F-TEID for GTP or PMIP Control Plane’ IE is present in the PGW Downlink Triggering Notification message. NOTE 2: In earlier versions of this specification, the name of this IE was ‘Sender F-TEID for Control Plane’. The name was changed when extending the applicability of the IE to S4/S11. |

7.9.8 PGW Downlink Triggering Acknowledge
The PGW Downlink Triggering Acknowledge message shall be sent as a response to a PGW Downlink Triggering Notification message if the MME/S4-SGSN, SGW and PGW support the PGW triggered SGW restoration feature as specified in 3GPP TS 23.007 [17].
Possible Cause values are specified in Table 8.4-1. Message specific cause values are:
– "Request accepted".
