Section: 6.4.1.4 UE-requested PDU session establishment procedure not accepted by the network 6.4.1.4.1 General
Content: If the connectivity with the requested DN is rejected by the network, the SMF shall create a PDU SESSION ESTABLISHMENT REJECT message. The SMF shall set the 5GSM cause IE of the PDU SESSION ESTABLISHMENT REJECT message to indicate the reason for rejecting the PDU session establishment. The 5GSM cause IE typically indicates one of the following SM cause values: #8 operator determined barring; #26 insufficient resources; #27 missing or unknown DNN; #28 unknown PDU session type; #29 user authentication or authorization failed; #31 request rejected, unspecified; #32 service option not supported; #33 requested service option not subscribed; #35 PTI already in use; #38 network failure; #39 reactivation requested; #46 out of LADN service area; #50 PDU session type IPv4 only allowed; #51 PDU session type IPv6 only allowed; #54 PDU session does not exist; #57: PDU session type IPv4v6 only allowed; #58: PDU session type Unstructured only allowed; #61: PDU session type Ethernet only allowed; #67 insufficient resources for specific slice and DNN; #68 not supported SSC mode; #69 insufficient resources for specific slice; #70 missing or unknown DNN in a slice; #82 maximum data rate per UE for user-plane integrity protection is too low; #86 UAS services not allowed; or #95 – 111 protocol errors. If the PDU SESSION ESTABLISHMENT REQUEST message includes a PDU session type IE set to "IPv6", and the subscription, the SMF configuration, or both, are limited to IPv4 only for the requested DNN, the SMF shall include the 5GSM cause value #50 "PDU session type IPv4 only allowed" in the 5GSM cause IE of the PDU SESSION ESTABLISHMENT REJECT message. If the PDU SESSION ESTABLISHMENT REQUEST message includes a PDU session type IE set to "IPv6", and the subscription, the SMF configuration, or both, support none of "IPv4" and "IPv6" PDU session types for the requested DNN, the SMF shall include the 5GSM cause value #28 "unknown PDU session type" in the 5GSM cause IE of the PDU SESSION ESTABLISHMENT REJECT message. If the PDU SESSION ESTABLISHMENT REQUEST message includes a PDU session type IE set to "IPv4", and the subscription, the SMF configuration, or both, are limited to IPv6 only for the requested DNN, the SMF shall include the 5GSM cause value #51 "PDU session type IPv6 only allowed" in the 5GSM cause IE of the PDU SESSION ESTABLISHMENT REJECT message. If the PDU SESSION ESTABLISHMENT REQUEST message includes a PDU session type IE set to "IPv4", and the subscription, the SMF configuration, or both, support none of "IPv4" and "IPv6" PDU session types for the requested DNN, the SMF shall include the 5GSM cause value #28 "unknown PDU session type" in the 5GSM cause IE of the PDU SESSION ESTABLISHMENT REJECT message. If the PDU SESSION ESTABLISHMENT REQUEST message includes a PDU session type IE set to "IPv4v6", and the subscription, the SMF configuration, or both, support none of "IPv4v6", "IPv4" and "IPv6" PDU session types for the requested DNN, the SMF shall include the 5GSM cause value #28 "unknown PDU session type" in the 5GSM cause IE of the PDU SESSION ESTABLISHMENT REJECT message. If the PDU SESSION ESTABLISHMENT REQUEST message includes a PDU session type IE set to "Unstructured" or "Ethernet", and the subscription, the SMF configuration, or both, do not support the PDU session type for the requested DNN, the SMF shall include the 5GSM cause value #28 "unknown PDU session type" in the 5GSM cause IE of the PDU SESSION ESTABLISHMENT REJECT message. If the PDU SESSION ESTABLISHMENT REQUEST message is to establish an MA PDU session and includes a PDU session type IE set to "Unstructured", and the SMF configuration does not support the PDU session type, the SMF shall include the 5GSM cause value #28 "unknown PDU session type" in the 5GSM cause IE of the PDU SESSION ESTABLISHMENT REJECT message. If the PDU SESSION ESTABLISHMENT REQUEST message contains the SSC mode IE indicating an SSC mode not supported by the subscription, the SMF configuration, or both of them, and the SMF decides to rejects the PDU session establishment, the SMF shall include the 5GSM cause value #68 "not supported SSC mode" in the 5GSM cause IE and the SSC modes allowed by SMF in the Allowed SSC mode IE of the PDU SESSION ESTABLISHMENT REJECT message. If the PDU SESSION ESTABLISHMENT REQUEST message is to establish an MA PDU session and MA PDU session is not allowed due to operator policy and subscription, and the SMF decides to reject the PDU session establishment, the SMF shall include the 5GSM cause value #33 "requested service option not subscribed" in the 5GSM cause IE of the PDU SESSION ESTABLISHMENT REJECT message. If the PDU SESSION ESTABLISHMENT REQUEST message is identified to be for C2 communication and: a) does not include the Service-level-AA container IE with the service-level device ID set to the CAA-level UAV ID; b) does not include the Service-level-AA container IE with the service-level-AA payload and the Service-level-AA payload type; or c) the SMF is informed by the UAS-NF that the UAS service is not allowed, the SMF shall reject the PDU SESSION ESTABLISHMENT REQUEST message by transmitting a PDU SESSION ESTABLISHMENT REJECT message with 5GSM cause IE set to 5GSM cause value #86 "UAS services not allowed". In 3GPP access, if the operator's configuration requires user-plane integrity protection for the PDU session and, the maximum data rate per UE for user-plane integrity protection supported by the UE for uplink or the maximum data rate per UE for user-plane integrity protection supported by the UE for downlink, or both, are lower than required by the operator's configuration, the SMF shall include the 5GSM cause value #82 "maximum data rate per UE for user-plane integrity protection is too low" in the 5GSM cause IE of the PDU SESSION ESTABLISHMENT REJECT message. If the UE requests a PDU session establishment for an LADN when the UE is located outside of the LADN service area, the SMF shall include the 5GSM cause value #46 "out of LADN service area" in the 5GSM cause IE of the PDU SESSION ESTABLISHMENT REJECT message. If the DN authentication of the UE was performed with the PDU session authentication and authorization procedure and completed unsuccessfully, the SMF shall include the 5GSM cause value #29 "user authentication or authorization failed" in the 5GSM cause IE of the PDU SESSION ESTABLISHMENT REJECT message and shall set the EAP message IE of the PDU SESSION ESTABLISHMENT REJECT message to an EAP-failure message as specified in IETF RFC 3748 [34], provided by the DN. If the DN authentication of the UE was performed with the service-level authentication and authorization procedure and completed unsuccessfully, the SMF shall include the 5GSM cause value #29 "user authentication or authorization failed" in the 5GSM cause IE of the PDU SESSION ESTABLISHMENT REJECT message and shall include the service-level-AA response provided by DN in the Service-level-AA container IE of the PDU SESSION ESTABLISHMENT REJECT message. Based on the local policy and user's subscription data, if a PDU session is being established with the request type set to "existing PDU session" and the SMF determines the UE has: a) moved between a tracking area in NB-N1 mode and a tracking area in WB-N1 mode; b) moved between a tracking area in NB-S1 mode and a tracking area in WB-N1 mode; or c) moved between a tracking area in WB-S1 mode and a tracking area in NB-N1 mode, the SMF may reject the PDU SESSION ESTABLISHMENT REQUEST message and: a) include the 5GSM cause value #39 "reactivation requested" in the 5GSM cause IE of the PDU SESSION ESTABLISHMENT REJECT message; or b) include a 5GSM cause value other than #39 "reactivation requested" in the 5GSM cause IE of the PDU SESSION ESTABLISHMENT REJECT message. NOTE 1: The included 5GSM cause value is up to the network implementation. If the PDU session cannot be established due to resource unavailability in the UPF, the SMF shall include the 5GSM cause value #26 "insufficient resources" in the 5GSM cause IE of the PDU SESSION ESTABLISHMENT REJECT message. Based on the user's subscription data and the operator policy, if the SMF determines that the UUAA-SM procedure needs to be performed for a UE but the SMF does not receives the service-level device ID set to the CAA-level UAV ID in the Service-level-AA container IE of the PDU SESSION ESTABLISHMENT REQUEST message from the UE, the SMF shall include the 5GSM cause value #86 "UAS services not allowed" in the 5GSM cause IE of the PDU SESSION ESTABLISHMENT REJECT message. The network may include a Back-off timer value IE in the PDU SESSION ESTABLISHMENT REJECT message. If the 5GSM cause value is #26 "insufficient resources", #67 "insufficient resources for specific slice and DNN", or #69 "insufficient resources for specific slice" and the PDU SESSION ESTABLISHMENT REQUEST message was received from a UE configured for high priority access in selected PLMN or SNPN or the request type provided during the PDU session establishment is set to "initial emergency request" or "existing emergency PDU session", the network shall not include a Back-off timer value IE. If the 5GSM cause value is #29 "user authentication or authorization failed ", the network should include a Back-off timer value IE. If the Back-off timer value IE is included and the 5GSM cause value is different from #26 "insufficient resources", #28 "unknown PDU session type", #46 "out of LADN service area", #50 "PDU session type IPv4 only allowed", #51 "PDU session type IPv6 only allowed", #54 "PDU session does not exist", #57 "PDU session type IPv4v6 only allowed", #58 "PDU session type Unstructured only allowed", #61 "PDU session type Ethernet only allowed", #67 "insufficient resources for specific slice and DNN", #68 "not supported SSC mode", and #69 "insufficient resources for specific slice", the network may include the Re-attempt indicator IE to indicate whether the UE is allowed to attempt a PDN connectivity procedure in the PLMN for the same DNN in S1 mode, whether another attempt in S1 mode or in N1 mode is allowed in an equivalent PLMN or whether another attempt in N1 mode is allowed in an equivalent SNPN. If the 5GSM cause value is #50 "PDU session type IPv4 only allowed", #51 "PDU session type IPv6 only allowed", #57 "PDU session type IPv4v6 only allowed", #58 "PDU session type Unstructured only allowed", or #61 "PDU session type Ethernet only allowed", the network may include the Re-attempt indicator IE without Back-off timer value IE to indicate whether the UE is allowed to attempt a PDU session establishment procedure in an equivalent PLMN or equivalent SNPN in N1 mode using the same PDU session type for the same DNN (or no DNN, if no DNN was indicated by the UE) and the same S-NSSAI (or no S-NSSAI, if no S-NSSAI was indicated by the UE). The SMF shall send the PDU SESSION ESTABLISHMENT REJECT message. Upon receipt of a PDU SESSION ESTABLISHMENT REJECT message and a PDU session ID, using the NAS transport procedure as specified in subclause 5.4.5, the UE shall stop timer T3580 shall release the allocated PTI value and shall consider that the PDU session was not established. If the PDU SESSION ESTABLISHMENT REQUEST message was sent with request type set to "initial emergency request" or "existing emergency PDU session" and the UE receives a PDU SESSION ESTABLISHMENT REJECT message, then the UE may: a) inform the upper layers of the failure of the procedure; or NOTE 2: This can result in the upper layers requesting another emergency call attempt using domain selection as specified in 3GPP TS 23.167[ IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) emergency sessions ]  [6]. b) de-register locally, if not de-registered already, attempt initial registration for emergency services. If the PDU SESSION ESTABLISHMENT REJECT message includes 5GSM cause #39 "reactivation requested" and the PDU session is being transferred from EPS to 5GS and established with the request type set to "existing PDU session", the UE should re-initiate the UE-requested PDU session establishment procedure as specified in subclause 6.4.1 for: a) the PDU session type associated with the transferred PDU session; b) the SSC mode associated with the transferred PDU session; c) the DNN associated with the transferred PDU session; and d) the S-NSSAI associated with (if available in roaming scenarios) a mapped S-NSSAI if provided in the UE-requested PDU session establishment procedure of the transferred PDU session. If the PDU SESSION ESTABLISHMENT REJECT message includes 5GSM cause #86 "UAS services not allowed" and the UE has not included the service-level device ID in the Service-level-AA container IE of the PDU SESSION ESTABLISHMENT REQUEST message and set the value to the CAA-level UAV ID: a) the UE shall not send another PDU SESSION ESTABLISHMENT REQUEST message for UAS services without including the CAA-level UAV ID in the service-level device ID of the Service-level-AA container IE; and b) upon receipt of the request from the upper layers to establish a PDU session for UAS services, the UE shall initiate the UE-requested PDU session establishment procedure by including the service-level device ID in the Service-level-AA container IE of the PDU SESSION ESTABLISHMENT REQUEST message and set the value to the CAA-level UAV ID as specified in subclause 6.4.1.2. If the 5GSM cause value is different from #26 "insufficient resources", #28 "unknown PDU session type", #39 "reactivation requested", #46 "out of LADN service area", #50 "PDU session type IPv4 only allowed", #51 "PDU session type IPv6 only allowed", #54 "PDU session does not exist", #57 "PDU session type IPv4v6 only allowed", #58 "PDU session type Unstructured only allowed", #61 "PDU session type Ethernet only allowed", #67 "insufficient resources for specific slice and DNN", #68 "not supported SSC mode", and #69 "insufficient resources for specific slice", #86 "UAS services not allowed", and #33 "requested service option not subscribed" and the PDU SESSION ESTABLISHMENT REQUEST message was received from a UE configured for high priority access in selected PLMN, the network shall not include a Back-off timer value IE.
