The meaning of the different cause values is described in the following table. In general, "not supported" cause values indicate that the related capability is missing. On the other hand, "not available" cause values indicate that the related capability is present, but insufficient resources were available to perform the requested action.

Radio Network Layer cause

Meaning

Unspecified

Sent for radio network layer cause when none of the specified cause values applies.

Unknown or already allocated gNB-CU-CP UE E1AP ID

The action failed because the gNB-CU-CP UE E1AP ID is either unknown, or (for a first message received at the gNB-CU) is known and already allocated to an existing context.

Unknown or already allocated gNB-CU-UP UE E1AP ID

The action failed because the gNB-CU-UP UE E1AP ID is either unknown, or (for a first message received at the gNB-CU-UP) is known and already allocated to an existing context.

Unknown or inconsistent pair of UE E1AP ID

The action failed because both UE E1AP IDs are unknown, or are known but do not define a single UE context.

Interaction with other procedure

The action is due to an ongoing interaction with another procedure.

Pre-emption Capability

M

ENUMERATED (shall not trigger pre-emption, may trigger pre-emption)

Desc.: This IE indicates the pre-emption capability of the request on other QoS flows.

Usage: The QoS flow shall not pre-empt other QoS flows or, the QoS flow may pre-empt other QoS flows.

Specified in TS 23.501 [20]

NOTE: The Pre-emption Capability indicator applies to the allocation of resources for a QoS flow and as such it provides the trigger to the pre-emption procedures/processes of the NG-RAN node.

NOTE: The Pre-emption Vulnerability indicator applies for the entire duration of the QoS flow, unless modified and as such indicates whether the QoS flow is a target of the pre-emption procedures/processes of the NG-RAN node.
