Section: 5.4.1.2.4.4 Abnormal cases on the network side
Content: The following abnormal cases can be identified: a) Expiry of timer T3560. The AMF shall, on the first expiry of the timer T3560, retransmit the AUTHENTICATION REQUEST message and shall reset and start timer T3560. This retransmission is repeated four times, i.e. on the fifth expiry of timer T3560, the AMF shall abort the EAP based primary authentication and key agreement procedure and any ongoing 5GMM specific procedure, and release the N1 NAS signalling connection. b) Lower layers indication of non-delivered NAS PDU due to handover. If the AUTHENTICATION REQUEST message could not be delivered due to an intra AMF handover and the target TA is included in the TAI list, then upon successful completion of the intra AMF handover the AMF shall retransmit the AUTHENTICATION REQUEST message. If a failure of handover procedure is reported by the lower layer and the N1 NAS signalling connection exists, the AMF shall retransmit the AUTHENTICATION REQUEST message.
