}

11.8.5.2 Conformance requirements

[Rel-15, TS 24.302, clause 7.2.2.1]

Once the ePDG has been selected, the UE shall initiate the IPsec tunnel establishment procedure using the IKEv2 protocol as defined in IETF RFC 7296 [28] and 3GPP TS 33.402 [15].

The UE shall send an IKE_SA_INIT request message to the selected ePDG in order to setup an IKEv2 security association. Upon receipt of an IKE_SA_INIT response, the UE shall send an IKE_AUTH request message to the ePDG, including:

– The type of IP address (IPv4 address or IPv6 prefix or both) that needs to be configured in an IKEv2 CFG_REQUEST Configuration Payload. If the UE requests for both IPv4 address and IPv6 prefix, the UE shall send two configuration attributes in the CFG_REQUEST Configuration Payload: one for the IPv4 address and the other for the IPv6 prefix;

– The "IDr" payload, containing the APN in the Identification Data, for non-emergency session establishment. For emergency session establishment, the UE shall format the "IDr" payload according to clause 7.2.5. The UE shall set the ID Type field of the "IDr" payload to ID_FQDN as defined in IETF RFC 7296 [28]. The UE indicates a request for the default APN by omitting the "IDr" payload, which is in accordance with IKEv2 protocol as defined in IETF RFC 7296 [28]; and

– The "IDi" payload containing the NAI.

If the UE supports N1 mode, the UE shall indicate the PDU session ID in the IKE_AUTH request message. If N1 mode capability is disabled, the UE may indicate the PDU session ID in the IKE_AUTH request message.

In order to indicate the PDU session ID in the IKE_AUTH request message, the UE shall include the N1_MODE_CAPABILITY Notify payload as defined in clause 8.2.9.15 in the IKE_AUTH request message and shall:

– if the UE is establishing a PDN connection not related to any existing PDU session or any existing PDN connection, allocate a PDU session ID which is not currently being used by another PDU session over either 3GPP access or non-3GPP access, set the PDU Session ID field of the N1_MODE_CAPABILITY Notify payload to the allocated PDU session ID, and associate the allocated PDU session ID with the PDN connection that is being established;

if the UE is transferring an existing PDU session from 5GS, set the PDU Session ID field of the N1_MODE_CAPABILITY Notify payload to the PDU session ID of the existing PDU session that is being transferred, and associate the PDU session ID with the PDN connection that is being established. If the existing PDU session is a non-emergency PDU session, the UE shall in addition associate the S-NSSAI of the existing PDU session that is being transferred and the related PLMN ID with the PDN connection that is being established; or

– if the UE is transferring an existing PDN connection from EPS and a PDU session ID is associated with the PDN connection that is being transferred, set the PDU Session ID field of the N1_MODE_CAPABILITY Notify payload to the PDU session ID associated with the existing PDN connection. If the existing PDN connection is a non-emergency PDN connection and an S-NSSAI and a related PLMN ID are associated with the existing PDN connection, the UE shall in addition associate the S-NSSAI and the related PLMN ID with the PDN connection that is being established.

During the IKEv2 authentication and security association establishment for handover, the UE supporting IP address preservation for NBM, shall provide an indication about Attach Type, which indicates Handover Attach. During the IKEv2 authentication and security association establishment for transfer of an existing PDU session from 5GS, the UE shall provide an indication about Attach Type, which indicates Handover Attach. To indicate attach due to handover, the UE shall include the previously allocated home address information during the IPSec tunnel establishment. Depending on the IP version, the UE shall include either the INTERNAL_IP4_ADDRESS or the INTERNAL_IP6_ADDRESS attribute or both in the CFG_REQUEST Configuration Payload within the IKE_AUTH request message to indicate the home address information which is in accordance with IKEv2 protocol as defined in IETF RFC 7296 [28]. If the previously allocated home address information consists of both an IPv4 address and an IPv6 prefix, then the UE shall include the INTERNAL_IP4_ADDRESS attribute and the INTERNAL_IP6_ADDRESS attribute in the CFG_REQUEST configuration payload within the IKE_AUTH request message. If the previously allocated home address information consists of an IPv4 address only, then the UE shall include the INTERNAL_IP4_ADDRESS attribute and shall not include the INTERNAL_IP6_ADDRESS attribute in the CFG_REQUEST configuration payload within the IKE_AUTH request message. If the previously allocated home address information consists of an IPv6 prefix only, then the UE shall include the INTERNAL_IP6_ADDRESS attribute and shall not include the INTERNAL_IP4_ADDRESS attribute in the CFG_REQUEST configuration payload within the IKE_AUTH request message. The UE shall support IPSec ESP (see IETF RFC 4303 [32]) in order to provide secure tunnels between the UE and the ePDG as specified in 3GPP TS 33.402 [15].

After the successful authentication with the 3GPP AAA server, the UE receives from the ePDG an IKE_AUTH response message containing a single CFG_REPLY Configuration Payload including the assigned remote IP address information (IPv4 address or IPv6 prefix) as described in clause 7.4.1. Depending on the used IP mobility management mechanism the following cases can be differentiated:

– If DSMIPv6 is used for IP mobility management, the UE configures a remote IP address based on the IP address information contained in the INTERNAL_IP4_ADDRESS or INTERNAL_IP6_SUBNET attribute of the CFG_REPLY Configuration Payload. The UE uses the remote IP address as Care-of-Address to contact the HA.

– If NBM is used for IP mobility management and the UE performs an initial attach, the UE configures a home address based on the address information from the CFG_REPLY Configuration Payload. Otherwise, if NBM is used and the UE performs a handover attach, the UE continues to use its IP address configured before the handover, if the address information provided in the CFG_REPLY Configuration Payload does match with the UE’s IP address configured before the handover. If the UE’s IP address (IPv4 address or IPv6 prefix) does not match with the address information of the CFG_REPLY Configuration Payload, the UE shall configure a new home address based on the IP address information contained in the INTERNAL_IP4_ADDRESS, INTERNAL_IP6_SUBNET or INTERNAL_IP6_ADDRESS attribute of the CFG_REPLY Configuration Payload. In the latter case, the IP address preservation is not possible.

NOTE 3: In case of IPv6 address, the UE performs the match only on the IPv6 prefix provided within the CFG_REPLY Configuration Payload contained in the INTERNAL_IP6_SUBNET or INTERNAL_IP6_ADDRESS.

During the IKEv2 authentication and security association establishment, following the UE’s initial IKE_AUTH request message to the ePDG, if the UE subsequently receives an IKE_AUTH response message from the ePDG containing the EAP-Request/AKA-Challenge, after verifying the received authentication parameters and successfully authenticating the ePDG as specified in 3GPP TS 33.402 [15], the UE shall send a new IKE_AUTH request message to the ePDG including the EAP-Response/AKA-Challenge. In addition, the UE shall provide the requested mobile device identity if available, as specified in clause 7.2.6.

If the UE supports P-CSCF restoration extension for untrusted WLAN as specified in 3GPP TS 23.380 [66], the UE shall send its capability indication of the support of P-CSCF restoration to the ePDG by including the P-CSCF_RESELECTION_SUPPORT Notify payload within an IKE_AUTH request message. The content of the P-CSCF_RESELECTION_SUPPORT Notify payload is described in clause 8.2.9.4.

If the UE supports N1 mode and the UE receives the N1_MODE_INFORMATION Notify payload as defined in clause 8.2.9.16 in the IKE_AUTH response message, the UE shall delete the associated S-NSSAI, if any, and (re‑)associate the S-NSSAI in the S-NSSAI Value field of the N1_MODE_INFORMATION Notify payload with the PDU session associated with the IKEv2 security association that was established, and if the UE receives the N1_MODE_S_NSSAI_PLMN_ID Notify payload as defined in clause 8.2.9.17 in the IKE_AUTH response message, the UE shall delete the associated PLMN ID, if any, and (re-)associate the PLMN ID that the S-NSSAI relates to in the S-NSSAI PLMN ID field of the N1_MODE_S_NSSAI_PLMN_ID Notify payload with the PDU session associated with the IKEv2 security association that was established.
