Claim 11:
12. An Access and mobility Management Function (AMF), the AMF comprising:
a receiver for receiving a request to establish User Plane (UP) for a user equipment's (UE's) protocol data unit (PDU) session, wherein the request comprises information indicating an access type and the request is transmitted by a Session Management Function (SMF);
memory; and
processing circuitry coupled to the memory, wherein the AMF is configured to:
in response to the request to establish UP for the UE's PDU session, perform the steps of:
determining that a condition is satisfied, wherein determining that the condition is satisfied comprises determining that the UE is in the idle state with respect to both a 3GPP access and a non-3GPP access; and
as a result of determining that the condition is satisfied, initiating paging of the UE by the 3GPP access.
