Section: 5.35A.7 Control of UE access to MBSR
Content: CAG Identifier is used to control the access of UE via MBSR (i.e. mobile IAB-node) and existing CAG mechanism defined in clause 5.30.3 can be used for managing UE's access to MBSR, with the following additional considerations: - When the MBSR is allowed to operate as an IAB node for a PLMN, the MBSR is configured, either during the communication with the serving PLMN OAM or (pre-)configuration mechanism, with a CAG identifier which is unique within the scope of this PLMN. If the MBSR is (pre-)configured with the PLMN list in which the MBSR is allowed to operate as MBSR, the corresponding CAG Identifier per PLMN is also configured in the MBSR. NOTE 1: The CAG for MBSR is supported as part of the PNI-NPN concept described in clause 5.30.3. - NG-RAN and 5GC support the UE access control based on the CAG identifier associated with the MBSR cell and the allowed CAG identifiers for the UE that supports CAG functionality. - For the UE that does not support CAG functionality, NG-RAN and 5GC are allowed to use not only CAG mechanism but also the other existing mechanism e.g. forbidden Tracking Area, to manage its access to MBSR. - Time duration restriction may be provided together with the CAG Identifier(s) for the MBSR(s) that the UE can access. The enhanced Allowed CAG list will be provided to UE and AMF for enforcement, to make sure that UE not accessing the MBSR cell outside of the time duration. For example, if the time when a certain CAG is allowed for a UE is up, the CAG for the UE is revoked from the network. NOTE 2: Control of the MBSR access to the serving network is based on normal mobility restriction management based on subscription data form MBSR (i.e. IAB-UE).
