Abstract
Apparatuses, methods, and systems are disclosed for relocating an access gateway during UE registration. One apparatus includes an interface that communicates with a remote unit and with a plurality of network functions in a mobile communication network. The apparatus includes a processor that initiates registration of the remote unit with the mobile communication network and receives a relocation command from an AMF while the registration is ongoing, the relocation command containing an address of a first TNGF and a first security key. If connectivity with the first TNGF is supported, then the processor sends a first request to the first TNGF, the first request containing a remote unit identity and an AMF identity. However, if connectivity with the first TNGF is not supported, then the processor sends a relocation reject message to the AMF.
