Release 17 24 3GPP TS 24.501 V17.3.1 (2021-06)
1 Scope
The present document specifies the non-access stratum (NAS) procedures in the 5G system (5GS) used by the protocols
for:
- mobility management between the user equipment (UE) and the access and mobility management function
(AMF) for both 3GPP access and non-3GPP access; and
- session management between the user equipment (UE) and the session management function (SMF) for both
3GPP access and non-3GPP access.
The 5GS mobility management (5GMM) protocol defined in the present document provides procedures for the control
of mobility when the user equipment (UE) is using the NG radio access network (NG-RAN) and/or non-3GPP access
network. The 5GMM protocol also provides control of security for the NAS protocols.
The 5GS session management (5GSM) protocol defined in the present document provides procedures for the handling
of 5GS PDU sessions. Together with the bearer control provided by the access stratum, this protocol is used for the
control of user-plane resources.
For both NAS protocols the present document specifies procedures for the support of inter-system mobility between the
NG-RAN and the evolved universal terrestrial radio access (E-UTRAN), between the NG-RAN and the non-3GPP
access network connected to the EPC, and between the non-3GPP access network connected to the 5G core network
(5GCN) and the E-UTRAN.
For both NAS protocols the present document specifies procedures for the support of mobility between the NG-RAN
and the non-3GPP access network connected to the 5GCN.
In addition, the present document specifies the procedures in the 5GS for UE policy delivery service between the UE
and the policy control function (PCF) for both 3GPP access and non-3GPP access.
The present document is applicable to the UE, the access and mobility management function (AMF), the session
management function (SMF), and the PCF in the 5GS.
The clauses and subclauses in the present document are common for both 3GPP access and non-3GPP access unless it is
explicitly stated that they apply to 3GPP access only or non-3GPP access only.

3 Definitions and abbreviations
3.1 Definitions
For the purposes of the present document, the terms and definitions given in 3GPP TR 21.905 [1] and the following
apply. A term defined in the present document takes precedence over the definition of the same term, if any, in
3GPP TR 21.905 [1].
5GMM-IDLE mode: In this specification, if the term is used standalone, a UE in 5GMM-IDLE mode means the UE
can be either in 5GMM-IDLE mode over 3GPP access or in 5GMM-IDLE mode over non-3GPP access.
5GMM-CONNECTED mode: In this specification, if the term is used standalone, a UE in 5GMM-CONNECTED

mode means the UE can be either in 5GMM-CONNECTED mode over 3GPP access or in 5GMM-CONNECTED
mode over non-3GPP access.
5GMM-IDLE mode over 3GPP access: A UE is in 5GMM-IDLE mode over 3GPP access when no N1 NAS
signalling connection between the UE and network over 3GPP access exists. The term 5GMM-IDLE mode over 3GPP
access used in the present document corresponds to the term CM-IDLE state for 3GPP access used in
3GPP TS 23.501 [8].
5GMM-CONNECTED mode over 3GPP access: A UE is in 5GMM-CONNECTED mode over 3GPP access when
an N1 NAS signalling connection between the UE and network over 3GPP access exists. The term 5GMM-
CONNECTED mode over 3GPP access used in the present document corresponds to the term CM-CONNECTED state
for 3GPP access used in 3GPP TS 23.501 [8].
5GMM-IDLE mode over non-3GPP access: A UE is in 5GMM-IDLE mode over non-3GPP access when no N1 NAS
signalling connection between the UE and network over non-3GPP access exists. The term 5GMM-IDLE mode over
non-3GPP access used in the present document corresponds to the term CM-IDLE state for non-3GPP access used in
3GPP TS 23.501 [8].
5GMM-CONNECTED mode over non-3GPP access: A UE is in 5GMM-CONNECTED mode over non-3GPP

access when an N1 NAS signalling connection between the UE and network over non-3GPP access exists. The term
5GMM-CONNECTED mode over non-3GPP access used in the present document corresponds to the term CM-
CONNECTED state for non-3GPP access used in 3GPP TS 23.501 [8].
3GPP
Release 17 29 3GPP TS 24.501 V17.3.1 (2021-06)
5GS services: Services provided by PS domain. Within the context of this specification, 5GS services is used as a
synonym for EPS services.
5G-EA: 5GS encryption algorithms. The term 5G-EA, 5G-EA0, 128-5G-EA1, 128-5G-EA2, 128-5G-EA3, 5G-EA4,
5G-EA5, 5G-EA6 and 5G-EA7 used in the present document corresponds to the term NEA, NEA0, 128-NEA1, 128-
NEA2, 128-NEA3, NEA4, NEA5, NEA6 and NEA7 defined in 3GPP TS 33.501 [24].
5G-IA: 5GS integrity algorithms. The term 5G-IA, 5G-IA0, 128-5G-IA1, 128-5G-IA2, 128-5G-IA3, 5G-IA4, 5G-IA5,
5G-IA6 and 5G-IA7 used in the present document corresponds to the term NIA, NIA0, 128-NIA1, 128-NIA2, 128-
NIA3, NIA4, NIA5, NIA6 and NIA7 defined in 3GPP TS 33.501 [24].
Access stratum connection: A peer to peer access stratum connection:
- between the UE and the NG-RAN for 3GPP access;
- between the UE and the N3IWF for untrusted non-3GPP access;
- between the UE and the TNGF for trusted non-3GPP access used by the UE;
- within the TWIF acting on behalf of the N5CW device for trusted non-3GPP access used by the N5CW device;
- between the 5G-RG and the W-AGF for wireline access used by the 5G-RG;
- within the W-AGF acting on behalf of the FN-RG for wireline access used by the FN-RG; or
- within the W-AGF acting on behalf of the N5GC device for wireline access used by the N5GC device.
The access stratum connection for 3GPP access corresponds to an RRC connection via the Uu reference point. The
creation of the access stratum connection for untrusted non-3GPP access corresponds to the completion of the
IKE_SA_INIT exchange (see IETF RFC 7296 [41]) via the NWu reference point. The creation of the access stratum
connection for trusted non-3GPP access used by the UE corresponds to the UE reception of an EAP-request/5G-start via
NWt reference point (see 3GPP TS 23.502 [9]). The creation of the access stratum connection for trusted non-3GPP
access used by the N5CW device corresponds to the TWIF's start of acting on behalf of the N5CW device. The creation
of the access stratum connection for wireline access used by the 5G-RG corresponds to the 5G-RG reception of an
EAP-request/5G-packet over the W-CP EAP connection via the Y4 reference point (see 3GPP TS 23.316 [6D]). The
creation of the access stratum connection for wireline access used by the FN-RG corresponds to the W-AGF's start of
acting on behalf of the FN-RG. The creation of the access stratum connection for wireline access used by the N5GC
device corresponds to the W-AGF's start of acting on behalf of the N5GC device.
Access to SNPN services via a PLMN/To access SNPN services via a PLMN: A UE is accessing SNPN services via
a PLMN when the UE is connecting to the 5GCN of the SNPN using the 3GPP access of the PLMN.
Aggregate maximum bit rate: The maximum bit rate that limits the aggregate bit rate of a set of non-GBR bearers of a
UE. Definition derived from 3GPP TS 23.501 [8].
Always-on PDU session: A PDU session for which user-plane resources have to be established during every transition
from 5GMM-IDLE mode to 5GMM-CONNECTED mode. A UE requests a PDU session to be established as an
always-on PDU session based on indication from upper layers and the network decides whether a PDU session is
established as an always-on PDU session.
NOTE 1: How the upper layers in the UE are configured to provide an indication is outside the scope of the present
document.
Applicable UE radio capability ID for the current UE radio configuration in the selected network: The UE has an
applicable UE radio capability ID for the current UE radio configuration in the selected network if:
a) the UE supports RACS; and
b) the UE has:
1) a stored network-assigned UE radio capability ID which is associated with the PLMN ID or SNPN identity of
the serving network and which maps to the set of radio capabilities currently enabled at the UE; or
2) a manufacturer-assigned UE radio capability ID which maps to the set of radio capabilities currently enabled
at the UE.
3GPP
Release 17 30 3GPP TS 24.501 V17.3.1 (2021-06)
CAG cell: A cell in which only members of the CAG can get normal service. Depending on local regulation, the CAG
cell can provide emergency services also to subscribers who are not members of the CAG.
CAG-ID: A CAG-ID is a unique identifier within the scope of one PLMN defined in 3GPP TS 23.003 [4] which
identifies a Closed Access Group (CAG) in the PLMN associated with a cell or group of cells to which access is
restricted to members of the CAG.
CAG restrictions: Restrictions applied to a UE in accessing a PLMN's 5GCN via:
a) a non-CAG cell if the entry for the PLMN in the UE's "CAG information list" includes an "indication that the
UE is only allowed to access 5GS via CAG cells"; or
b) a CAG cell if none of the CAG-ID(s) supported by the CAG cell is included in the "allowed CAG list" for the
PLMN in the UE's "CAG information list".
The CAG restrictions are not applied in a PLMN when a UE accesses the PLMN due to emergency services.
Cleartext IEs: Information elements that can be sent without confidentiality protection in initial NAS messages as
specified in subclause 4.4.6.
Control plane CIoT 5GS optimization: Signalling optimizations to enable efficient transport of user data (IP,
Ethernet, Unstructured or SMS) over control plane via the AMF including optional header compression of IP data and
Ethernet data.
DNN determined by the AMF: If no DNN requested by the UE is provided, a DNN determined by the AMF based
subscription information or local policy. Otherwise DNN determined by the AMF is the DNN requested by the UE.
DNN requested by the UE: A DNN explicitly requested by the UE and included in a NAS request message.
DNN selected by the network: If DNN replacement applies, a DNN selected and indicated to the AMF by PCF.
Otherwise DNN selected by the network is the DNN determined by the AMF.
Default S-NSSAI: An S-NSSAI in the subscribed S-NSSAIs marked as default.
Globally-unique SNPN identity: An SNPN identity with an NID whose assignment mode is not set to 1 (see
3GPP TS 23.003 [4]).
User plane CIoT 5GS optimization: Signalling optimizations to enable efficient transport of user data (IP, Ethernet or
Unstructured) over the user plane.
UE supporting CIoT 5GS optimizations: A UE that supports control plane CIoT 5GS optimization or user plane
CIoT 5GS optimization and one or more other CIoT 5GS optimizations when the UE is in N1 mode.
Registered for 5GS services with control plane CIoT 5GS optimization: A UE supporting CIoT 5GS optimizations
is registered for 5GS services, and control plane CIoT 5GS optimization along with one or more other CIoT 5GS
optimizations have been accepted by the network.
Registered for 5GS services with user plane CIoT 5GS optimization: A UE supporting CIoT 5GS optimizations is
registered for 5GS services, and user plane CIoT 5GS optimization along with one or more other CIoT 5GS
optimizations have been accepted by the network.
Registered for 5GS services with CIoT 5GS optimization: A UE is registered for 5GS services with control plane
CIoT 5GS optimization or registered for 5GS services with user plane CIoT 5GS optimization.
DNN based congestion control: Type of congestion control at session management level that is applied to reject
session management requests from UEs or release PDU sessions when the associated DNN is congested. DNN based
congestion control can be activated at the SMF over session management level and also activated at the AMF over
mobility management level.
Emergency PDU session: A PDU session established with the request type "initial emergency request" or "existing
emergency PDU session".
General NAS level congestion control: Type of congestion control at mobility management level that is applied at a
general overload or congestion situation in the network, e.g. lack of processing resources.
