with { UE in EMM-REGISTERED state }

ensure that {

when { the UE is switched off }

then { the UE establishes the RRC connection with the RRC establishmentCause set to ‘mo-Signalling’ and sends DETACH REQUEST message, keeps the native security context, and deactivates the EPS bearer context(s) locally }

}

9.2.2.1.1.2 Conformance requirements

References: The conformance requirements covered in the present TC are specified in: 3GPP TS 24.301 clauses 5.3.1.1, 5.5.2.2.1, 5.5.2.2.2 and Annex D and TS 36.331 clause 5.3.3.3.

[TS 24.301 clause 5.3.1.1]

When the UE is in EMM-IDLE mode and needs to transmit an initial NAS message, the UE shall request the lower layer to establish a NAS signalling connection. In this request to the lower layer the NAS shall provide to the lower layer the RRC establishment cause and the call type as specified in annex D of this specification.

[TS 24.301 clause 5.5.2.2.1]

The detach procedure is initiated by the UE by sending a DETACH REQUEST message. The Detach type IE included in the message indicates whether detach is due to a "switch off" or not. The Detach type IE also indicates whether the detach is for EPS services only, for non-EPS services only, or for both. If the UE has a mapped EPS security context as the current EPS security context, the UE shall set the type of security context flag to "mapped security context". Otherwise, the UE shall set the type of security context flag to "native security context".

If the UE is to be switched off, the UE shall try for a period of 5 seconds to send the DETACH REQUEST message. During this period, the UE may be switched off as soon as the DETACH REQUEST message has been sent.

After the last DETACH REQUEST message is sent, the UE shall proceed as follows:

– if the current EPS security context is a native EPS security context, then the UE shall store the current EPS security context as specified in annex C and mark it as valid;

– else if the current EPS security context is a mapped EPS security context and a non-current full native EPS security context exists, then the UE shall store the non-current EPS security context as specified in annex C and mark it as valid, and finally the UE shall delete any mapped EPS security context or partial native EPS security context.

[TS 24.301 clause 5.5.2.2.2]

When the DETACH REQUEST message is received by the network, the network shall send a DETACH ACCEPT message to the UE and store the current EPS security context, if the Detach type IE does not indicate "switch off". Otherwise, the procedure is completed when the network receives the DETACH REQUEST message. On reception of a DETACH REQUEST message indicating "switch off", the MME shall delete the current EPS security context, if it is a mapped EPS security context.

The network and the UE shall deactivate the EPS bearer context(s) for this UE locally without peer-to-peer signalling between the UE and the MME.

The UE, when receiving the DETACH ACCEPT message, shall stop timer T3421.

The UE is marked as inactive in the network for EPS services. State EMM-DEREGISTERED is entered in the network.

The UE in PS mode of operation shall enter the EMM-DEREGISTERED state.

The UE in CS/PS mode 1 or CS/PS mode 2 of operation shall set the update status to U2 NOT UPDATED, disable E‑UTRAN and select GERAN or UTRAN access technology and enter the EMM-NULL state.

9.2.2.1.2.2 Conformance requirements

References: The conformance requirements covered in the present TC are specified in: 3GPP TS 24.301 clauses 5.5.2.2.1 and 5.5.2.2.3.

[TS 24.301 clause 5.5.2.2.1]

The detach procedure is initiated by the UE by sending a DETACH REQUEST message. The Detach type IE included in the message indicates whether detach is due to a "switch off" or not. The Detach type IE also indicates whether the detach is for EPS services only, for non-EPS services only, or for both. If the UE has a mapped EPS security context as the current EPS security context, the UE shall set the type of security context flag to "mapped security context". Otherwise, the UE shall set the type of security context flag to "native security context".

If the UE has a valid GUTI, the UE shall populate the GUTI or IMSI IE with the valid GUTI. If the UE does not have a valid GUTI, the UE populates the GUTI or IMSI IE with its IMSI.

If the detach is not due to switch off and the UE is in the state EMM-REGISTERED or EMM-REGISTERED-INITIATED, timer T3421 shall be started in the UE after the DETACH REQUEST message has been sent. If the detach type indicates that the detach is for non-EPS services only the UE shall enter the state EMM-REGISTERED.IMSI-DETACH-INITIATED, otherwise the UE shall enter the state EMM-DEREGISTERED-INITIATED. If the detach type indicates that the detach is for non-EPS services or both EPS and non-EPS services, the UE shall enter the state MM IMSI DETACH PENDING.

[TS 24.301 clause 5.5.2.2.3]

When the DETACH REQUEST message is received by the network, a DETACH ACCEPT message shall be sent to the UE, if the Detach type IE value indicates that the detach request has not been sent due to switching off. Depending on the value of the Detach type IE the following applies:

– combined EPS/IMSI detach:

The UE is marked as inactive in the network for EPS and for non-EPS services. The states EMM-DEREGISTERED and MM-NULL are entered in both the UE and the network.

9.2.2.1.3.2 Conformance requirements

References: The conformance requirement covered in the present TC is specified in: 3GPP TS 24.301 clauses 5.5.2.1, 5.5.2.2.1, 5.5.2.2.2, 3.1 and 4.5, Unless otherwise stated these are Rel-8 requirements.

[TS 24.301, clause 5.5.2.1]

The detach procedure with appropriate detach type shall be invoked by the UE if the UE is switched off, the USIM card is removed from the UE or the UE has disabled EPS services or the UE wishes to detach for non-EPS services.

If the detach procedure for EPS services is performed, the EPS bearer context(s) for this particular UE are deactivated locally without peer-to-peer signalling between the UE and the MME.

Upon successful completion of the detach procedure, if the UE and the MME enter the EMM-DEREGISTERED state, the UE and the MME shall delete any mapped EPS security context or partial native EPS security context.

If the UE supports A/Gb mode or Iu mode, the UE shall store the TIN in the non-volatile memory in the ME, as described in annex C, for a subsequent attach procedure.

[TS 24.301, clause 5.5.2.2.1]

The detach procedure is initiated by the UE by sending a DETACH REQUEST message. The Detach type IE included in the message indicates whether detach is due to a "switch off" or not. The Detach type IE also indicates whether the detach is for EPS services only, for non-EPS services only, or for both. If the UE has a mapped EPS security context as the current EPS security context, the UE shall set the type of security context flag to "mapped security context". Otherwise, the UE shall set the type of security context flag to "native security context".

If the UE has a valid GUTI, the UE shall populate the GUTI or IMSI IE with the valid GUTI. If the UE does not have a valid GUTI, the UE populates the GUTI or IMSI IE with its IMSI.

If the detach is not due to switch off and the UE is in the state EMM-REGISTERED or EMM-REGISTERED-INITIATED, timer T3421 shall be started in the UE after the DETACH REQUEST message has been sent. If the detach type indicates that the detach is for non-EPS services only the UE shall enter the state EMM-REGISTERED.IMSI-DETACH-INITIATED, otherwise the UE shall enter the state EMM-DEREGISTERED-INITIATED. If the detach type indicates that the detach is for non-EPS services or both EPS and non-EPS services, the UE shall enter the state MM IMSI DETACH PENDING.

[TS 24.301, clause 5.5.2.2.2]

The network and the UE shall deactivate the EPS bearer context(s) for this UE locally without peer-to-peer signalling between the UE and the MME.

The UE, when receiving the DETACH ACCEPT message, shall stop timer T3421.

The UE is marked as inactive in the network for EPS services. State EMM-DEREGISTERED is entered in the network.

The UE in PS mode of operation shall enter the EMM-DEREGISTERED state.

The UE in CS/PS mode 1 or CS/PS mode 2 of operation shall set the update status to U2 NOT UPDATED, disable E‑UTRAN and select GERAN or UTRAN access technology and enter the EMM-NULL state.

[TS 24.301, clause 3.1]

EPS services: Within the context of this specification, EPS services is used as a synonym for GPRS services in 3GPP TS 24.008 [13].

[TS 24.301, clause 4.5]

When the UE supporting the A/Gb and/or Iu mode together with the S1 mode needs to stay in A/Gb or Iu mode, in order to prevent unwanted handover or cell reselection from UTRAN/GERAN to E-UTRAN, the UE shall disable the E-UTRA capability.

– The UE shall not set the E-UTRA support bits of the MS Radio Access capability IE (see 3GPP TS 24.008 [13], subclause 10.5.5.12a), the E-UTRA support bits of Mobile Station Classmark 3 IE (see 3GPP TS 24.008 [13], subclause 10.5.1.7) and the ISR support bit of the MS network capability IE (see 3GPP TS 24.008 [13], subclause 10.5.5.12) in the ATTACH REQUEST message and the ROUTING AREA UPDATE REQUEST message after it selects GERAN or UTRAN; and

– the UE NAS layer shall indicate the access stratum layer(s) of disabling of the E-UTRA capability.

NOTE: The UE can only disable the E-UTRAN capabilities when in EMM-IDLE mode.

9.2.2.1.4.2 Conformance requirements

References: The conformance requirement covered in the present TC is specified in: 3GPP TS 24.301 clauses 5.5.2.1, 5.5.2.2.1 and 5.5.2.2.3.

[TS 24.301, clause 5.5.2.1]

The detach procedure with appropriate detach type shall be invoked by the UE if the UE is switched off, the USIM card is removed from the UE or the UE has disabled EPS services or the UE wishes to detach for non-EPS services.

[TS 24.301, clause 5.5.2.2.1]

The detach procedure is initiated by the UE by sending a DETACH REQUEST message (see example in figure 5.5.2.2.1.1). The Detach type IE included in the message indicates whether detach is due to a "switch off" or not. The Detach type IE also indicates whether the detach is for EPS services only, for non-EPS services only, or for both. If the UE has a mapped EPS security context as the current EPS security context, the UE shall set the type of security context flag to "mapped security context". Otherwise, the UE shall set the type of security context flag to "native security context".

If the UE has a valid GUTI, the UE shall populate the GUTI or IMSI IE with the valid GUTI. If the UE does not have a valid GUTI, the UE populates the GUTI or IMSI IE with its IMSI.

If the detach is not due to switch off and the UE is in the state EMM-REGISTERED or EMM-REGISTERED-INITIATED, timer T3421 shall be started in the UE after the DETACH REQUEST message has been sent. If the detach type indicates that the detach is for non-EPS services only the UE shall enter the state EMM-REGISTERED.IMSI-DETACH-INITIATED, otherwise the UE shall enter the state EMM-DEREGISTERED-INITIATED. If the detach type indicates that the detach is for non-EPS services or both EPS and non-EPS services, the UE shall enter the state MM IMSI DETACH PENDING.

[TS 24.301, clause 5.5.2.2.3]

When the DETACH REQUEST message is received by the network, a DETACH ACCEPT message shall be sent to the UE, if the Detach type IE value indicates that the detach request has not been sent due to switching off. Depending on the value of the Detach type IE the following applies:

– combined EPS/IMSI detach:

The UE is marked as inactive in the network for EPS and for non-EPS services. The states EMM-DEREGISTERED and MM-NULL are entered in both the UE and the network.

– IMSI detach:

The UE is marked as inactive in the network for non-EPS services. The states MM-NULL and EMM-REGISTERED are entered in both the UE and the network.

9.2.2.1.6.2 Conformance requirements

References: The conformance requirements covered in the current TC are specified in: TS 24.301, clause 5.5.2.2.

[TS 24.301, clause 5.5.2.2.1]

The detach procedure is initiated by the UE by sending a DETACH REQUEST message. The Detach type IE included in the message indicates whether detach is due to a "switch off" or not. The Detach type IE also indicates whether the detach is for EPS services only, for non-EPS services only, or for both. If the UE has a mapped EPS security context as the current EPS security context, the UE shall set the type of security context flag to "mapped security context". Otherwise, the UE shall set the type of security context flag to "native security context".

If the UE has a valid GUTI, the UE shall populate the GUTI or IMSI IE with the valid GUTI. If the UE does not have a valid GUTI, the UE populates the GUTI or IMSI IE with its IMSI.

If the detach is not due to switch off and the UE is in the state EMM-REGISTERED or EMM-REGISTERED-INITIATED, timer T3421 shall be started in the UE after the DETACH REQUEST message has been sent. If the detach type indicates that the detach is for non-EPS services only the UE shall enter the state EMM-REGISTERED.IMSI-DETACH-INITIATED, otherwise the UE shall enter the state EMM-DEREGISTERED-INITIATED. If the detach type indicates that the detach is for non-EPS services or both EPS and non-EPS services, the UE shall enter the state MM IMSI DETACH PENDING.

[TS 24.301, clause 5.5.2.2.4 c)]

The following abnormal cases can be identified:

c) T3421 timeout

On the first four expiries of the timer, the UE shall retransmit the DETACH REQUEST message and shall reset and restart timer T3421. On the fifth expiry of timer T3421, the detach procedure shall be aborted and the UE shall change to state:

– EMM-REGISTERED.NORMAL-SERVICE and MM-NULL if "IMSI detach" was requested;

– EMM-DEREGISTERED if "EPS detach" was requested;

– EMM-DEREGISTERED and MM-NULL if "combined EPS/IMSI detach" was requested.

[TS 24.301, clause 5.1.3.2.2.2]

In the state EMM-DEREGISTERED, no EMM context has been established and the UE location is unknown to an MME and hence it is unreachable by an MME. In order to establish an EMM context, the UE shall start the attach or combined attach procedure (see subclause 5.5.1).

9.2.2.1.7.2 Conformance requirements

References: The conformance requirements covered in the current TC are specified in: TS 24.301, clause 5.5.2.2.4 and 5.5.2.3.2.

[TS 24.301, clause 5.5.2.2.4]

The following abnormal cases can be identified:

d) Detach procedure collision

If the UE receives a DETACH REQUEST message before the UE initiated detach procedure has been completed, it shall treat the message as specified in subclause 5.5.2.3.2 with the following modification: if the DETACH REQUEST message received by the UE contains detach type "re-attach required", and the UE initiated detach procedure is with detach type "EPS detach" or "combined EPS/IMSI detach", the UE need not initiate the attach or combined attach procedure.

[TS 24.301, clause 5.5.2.3.2]

When receiving the DETACH REQUEST message and the detach type indicates "re-attach required", the UE shall deactivate the EPS bearer context(s) including the default EPS bearer context locally without peer-to-peer signalling between the UE and the MME. The UE shall then send a DETACH ACCEPT message to the network and enter state EMM-DEREGISTERED. Furthermore, the UE shall, after the completion of the detach procedure, and the existing NAS signalling connection has been released, initiate an attach or combined attach procedure.

NOTE 1: When detach type indicates "re-attach required", user interaction is necessary in some cases when the UE cannot re-activate the EPS bearer(s) automatically.

When receiving the DETACH REQUEST message and the detach type indicates "re-attach required", the UE shall deactivate the EPS bearer context(s) including the default EPS bearer context locally without peer-to-peer signalling between the UE and the MME. The UE shall then send a DETACH ACCEPT message to the network and enter state EMM-DEREGISTERED. Furthermore, the UE shall, after the completion of the detach procedure, and the existing NAS signalling connection has been released, initiate an attach or combined attach procedure.

NOTE 1: When detach type indicates "re-attach required", user interaction is necessary in some cases when the UE cannot re-activate the EPS bearer(s) automatically.

A UE which receives a DETACH REQUEST message with detach type indicating "re-attach required" or "re-attach not required" and no EMM cause IE, is detached only for EPS services.

…If the detach type indicates "IMSI detach" or "re-attach required" then the UE shall ignore the EMM cause IE if received.
