Section: 4.15.4 User plane node management
Content: A 5G system (5GS) can act as a user plane node of an external network (e.g. IEEE TSN bridge) or a 5GS can be independently used to enable TSC. For these purposes, information available at a UE is provided to the network and port management information containers are exchanged between a DS-TT and a TSN AF or a TSCTSF (see 3GPP TS 24.539[ 5G System (5GS); Network to TSN translator (TT) protocol aspects; Stage 3 ]  [19BA]). During a UE-requested PDU session establishment procedure, if the UE supports transfer of port management information containers, then the UE indicates that transfer of port management information container is supported and the UE provides a DS-TT Ethernet port MAC address (if the PDU session type is Ethernet), port management information container, and a UE-DS-TT residence time (if available) to the network (see subclause 6.4.1.2). Once the UE has successfully established a PDU session and the UE has indicated that transfer of port management information container is supported during the UE-requested PDU session establishment procedure (see subclause 6.4.1.2), then port management information containers are exchanged via a UE-requested PDU session modification procedure and a network-requested PDU session modification procedure (see subclauses 6.3.2 and 6.4.2). The UE receiving a port management information container from the network shall forward the port management information container to the DS-TT. The SMF receiving a port management information container from the UE shall operate as described in 3GPP TS 23.502[ Procedures for the 5G System (5GS) ]  [9].
