No. : 16 / 195 , 147 (57 ) ABSTRACT Systems and methods of enabling intersystem changes ( 22 ) Filed : Nov. 19 , 2018 between 4G and 5G are described . The UE in single regis tration mode handles default EPS bearer contexts and PDU session contexts as if the N26 interface were supported Related U . S . Application Data before making the determination whether N26 interface is supported or not during an initial EPS Attach procedure . (60 ) Provisional application No .62 / 588 ,787 , filed on Nov . After determining that the N26 interface is unsupported , the 20 , 2017 . UE maps active PDU session contexts to default EPS bearer (51 ) Int . CI. contexts and modifies the PDU session context state from H04W 8 / 02 ( 2009. 01 ) active to inactive before completing the intersystem change . H04W 36 / 00 ( 2009 .01 ) The UE either acts as if the N26 interface were supported H04W 36 / 14 ( 2009 .01 ) and loses all the PDN connections or PDU sessions during H04W 60 / 00 ( 2009 .01 ) the intersystem change , or enters a modified single registra (52 ) U .
