Step
Description
18
The Attach is complete and UE sends data over the default bearer. At this time the UE can send uplink packets towards the
eNodeB which are then tunnelled to the S-GW and P-GW.
19
The MME sends an Update Bearer Request (eNodeB address, eNodeB TEID) message to the S-GW.
20
The S-GW acknowledges by sending Update Bearer Response (EPS Bearer Identity) message to the MME.
21
The S-GW sends its buffered downlink packets.
22
After the MME receives Update Bearer Response (EPS Bearer Identity) message, if an EPS bearer was established and the
subscription data indicates that the user is allowed to perform handover to non-3GPP accesses, and if the MME selected a
P-GW that is different from the P-GW address which was indicated by the HSS in the PDN subscription context, the MME
sends an Update Location Request including the APN and P-GW address to the HSS for mobility with non-3GPP accesses.
23
The HSS stores the APN and P-GW address pair and sends an Update Location Response to the MME.
24
Bidirectional data is passed between the UE and PDN.
Subscriber-initiated Detach
This section describes the procedure of detachment from the EPC network by a subscriber.

Subscriber-initiated Detach Call Flow Description
Step
Description
1
The UE sends NAS message Detach Request (GUTI, Switch Off) to the MME. Switch Off indicates whether detach is due
to a switch off situation or not.
2
The active EPS Bearers in the S-GW regarding this particular UE are deactivated by the MME sending a Delete Bearer
Request (TEID) message to the S-GW.
3
The S-GW sends a Delete Bearer Request (TEID) message to the P-GW.
