Abstract
An access and mobility management function (AMF) configured to send a registration message with an initial registration flag set to false to a unified data management node (UDM) and refrain from sending an update message to the UDM is described herein. The AMF receives a registration request from a user equipment (UE) associated with a handover of the UE from a fourth generation (4G) network to a fifth generation (5G) network and determines that the registration request is not for an initial registration. In response to determining that the registration request is not for an initial registration, the AMF sends the registration message to the UDM with an initial registration flag set to false and refrains from sending the update message to the UDM.
