5G: In which scenarios, Integrity protection would be enabled between UE and gNB for the user data ?

+1 vote
351 views

I was going through the security specification of 5G network and stopped at a point where it was mentioned that UE shall support integrity protection of user data along with the integrity protection of RRC and NAS-Signalling. Section 5.1.3.1 also mentions that integrity protection of the user data between UE and gNB is optional to use.
I want to know that for which cases/scenarios, it would be needed to enable integrity protection for user data between UE and gNB ?
Enabling both integrity and ciphering for the user data would be an overhead, therefore I started thinking about scenarios/cases.

5G: In which scenario AMF would include only AMF UE NG-AP ID in the UE Context Release Cmd ?

I was comparing UE Context Release Cmd (defined in 36.413) with the NG-AP (38.413) UE Context Release Cmd. I couldn't realize the scenario in which only the AMF allocated UE NG-AP ID will be included in UE Cntxt Release Cmd. In LTE, both the S1-AP IDs were mandatory to send in UE Ctxt Rel Cmd from MME to eNodeB.
It would be helpful if someone can provide the reason.
Thanks in advance.
