Abstract
A method of and apparatus for handover between a 3GPP based network and a non-3GPP network is disclosed where a policy update to a new gateway is requested. A confirmation of the policy update is sent from the policy and charging rules function (PCRF) to the 3GPP packet data network gateway (PDN GW). The new gateway also confirms the policy update to the currently serving gateway. The tunnel endpoints and radio resources are released between the PDN GW and the evolved Packet Data Gateway (ePDG) thereby freeing the resources previously used by the wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU). A release acknowledgement is sent from the serving gateway to the PCRF confirming the policy update process is complete. The method may be used for handover between 3GPP and non-3GPP networks and vice versa. The method and apparatus may be practiced over the S2b or S2c interfaces.

a transceiver configured to receive a proxy binding update message from an evolved packet data gateway (ePDG) indicating a handover;
the transceiver configured to send a policy update message to a policy and charging rules function (PCRF) in response to receiving the proxy binding update message;
the transceiver further configured to receive a policy update confirmation message from the PCRF; and
the transceiver further configured to send a message requesting a release of resources upon receiving the policy update confirmation message, the resources comprising one or more resources utilized by the PDN GW in the 3GPP access network or the non-3GPP access network from which the WTRU is handed over during the handover operation.
2. The PDN GW of claim 1, wherein the 3GPP access network is an evolved universal terrestrial radio access network (E-UTRAN).
3. The PDN GW of claim 1, further comprising a processor configured to update a binding cache entry for the WTRU based on the received proxy binding update message.
4. The PDN GW of claim 1, wherein the non-3GPP access network is an untrusted network, and wherein the proxy binding update message includes a request for an IP address for the WTRU.
5. The PDN GW of claim 1, wherein the transceiver is further configured to send a proxy binding acknowledgement message to the ePDG.
6. The PDN GW of claim 5, wherein the proxy binding acknowledgement message includes an IP address for the WTRU.
7. The PDN GW of claim 5, wherein the PDN GW is configured to use the proxy binding acknowledgement message to establish a proxy mobile internet protocol version 6 (PMIPv6) tunnel with the ePDG.
8. The PDN GW of claim 7, wherein the PMIPv6 tunnel is established on an S2b interface.
9. The PDN GW of claim 1, wherein the transceiver is further configured to send the message requesting the release of resources utilized by the PDN GW to a serving gateway (GW).
10. The PDN GW of claim 9, wherein the transceiver is further configured to receive a resource release acknowledgement message from the serving GW.
11. The PDN GW of claim 1, wherein the non-3GPP access network is an untrusted network.
12. A method for handover of a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) from a third generation partnership project (3GPP) access network to a non-3GPP access network, the method comprising:
receiving a proxy binding update message from an evolved packet data gateway (ePDG) indicating a handover;
sending, from a packet data network gateway (PDN GW), a policy update message to a policy and charging rules function (PCRF) in response to receiving the proxy binding update message;
receiving, at the PDN GW, a policy update confirmation message from the PCRF; and
sending a message requesting a release of resources upon receiving the policy update confirmation message, the resources comprising one or more resources utilized by the PDN GW in the 3GPP access network or the non-3GPP access network from which the WTRU is handed over during the handover operation.
13. The method of claim 12, wherein the 3GPP access network is an evolved universal terrestrial radio access network (E-UTRAN).
14. The method of claim 12, further comprising updating a binding cache entry for the WTRU based on receiving the proxy binding update message.
15. The method of claim 12, wherein the non-3GPP access network is an untrusted network, and wherein the proxy binding update message includes a request for an IP address of the WTRU.
16. The method of claim 12, further comprising sending a proxy binding acknowledgement message to the ePDG.
17. The method of claim 16, wherein the proxy binding acknowledgement message includes an IP address for the WTRU.
18. The method of claim 16, wherein the proxy binding acknowledgement message establishes a proxy mobile internet protocol version 6 (PMIPv6) tunnel with the ePDG.
19. The method of claim 18, wherein the PMIPv6 tunnel is established on an S2b interface.
20. The method of claim 12, wherein the message requesting the release of resources utilized by the PDN GW is sent to a serving gateway (GW).
21. The method of claim 20, further comprising receiving a resource release acknowledgement message from the serving GW.
22. The method of claim 12, wherein the non-3GPP access network is an untrusted network.
