Abstract:
A method of an access and mobility function (AMF) for state management in a wireless communication system is provided. The method comprises determining a state of at least one state machine, receiving, from a target access network (AN), an N2 path switch request message based on the state of the at least one state machine, transmitting, to a session management function (SMF), an N11 message, and transmitting, to the target AN, an N2 path switch request acknowledgement (Ack) message when receiving an N11 Ack message, from the SMF, corresponding to the N11 message, wherein the target AN transmits a release resource message to a source AN when the target AN receives the N2 path switch request Ack message.

Claim (Index 17):
The method of the  claim 16 , wherein the at least one state machine further comprises a session management state to complete a signaling connection and at least one bearer connection associated with the UE, the session management state including an NSM-IDLE state, an NSM-READY state, and an NSM-CONNECTED state and wherein:\n a state transition of the AMF from the NSM-IDLE state to the NSM-CONNECTED state is performed when a new PDU session is established upon receipt of a service request message from the UE to the AMF, the SMF being de-selected; a state transition of the UE from the NSM-READY state to the NSM-CONNECTED state is performed when a first PDU session establishment request message is transmitted to the AMF from the UE, the NSM-CONNECTED state lasting until a last PDU session released; and a state transition of the UE from the NSM-IDLE state to the NSM-READY state is performed when the UE attaches to a network.
