MTU: Maximum transmission unit (MTU) is the largest PDU size which can be transmitted and received by a network
entity in one single IP packet without any need for IP fragmentation.
NWu: In this specification, NWu is the reference point between the UE and the N3IWF for establishing secure
tunnel(s) between the UE and the N3IWF so that control-plane and user-plane exchanged between the UE and the 5G
core network is transferred securely over untrusted non-3GPP access.

4 General
4.1 Overview
The 5G core network supports the connectivity of the UE via non-3GPP access networks. In this release of
specification, only untrusted non-3GPP access is supported.
4.2 Untrusted access
For an untrusted non-3GPP access network, the communication between the UE and the 5GCN is not trusted to be
secure.
For an untrusted non-3GPP access network, to secure communication between the UE and the 5GCN, a UE establishes
secure connection to the 5G core network over untrusted non-3GPP access via the N3IWF. The UE performs
registration to the 5G core network during the IKEv2 SA establishment procedure as specified in 3GPP TS 24.501 [4]
and IETF RFC 7296 [6]. After the registration, the UE supports NAS signalling with 5GCN using the N1 reference
ETSI
3GPP TS 24.502 version 15.5.0 Release 15 11 ETSI TS 124 502 V15.5.0 (2019-10)
point as specified in 3GPP TS 24.501 [4]. The N3IWF interfaces the 5GCN CP function via the N2 interface to the
AMF and the 5GCN UP functions via N3 interface to the UPF as described in 3GPP TS 23.501 [2].
4.3 Identities
4.3.1 User identities
When the UE accesses the 5GCN over non-3GPP access networks, the same permanent identities for 3GPP access are
used to identify the subscriber for non-3GPP access authentication, authorization and accounting services.
The Subscription Permanent Identifier (SUPI) is defined in 3GPP TS 33.501 [5]. The SUPI can contain either an IMSI
or a network specific identifier as specified in 3GPP TS 23.501 [2]. A SUPI containing an IMSI is defined in
3GPP TS 23.003 [8]. A SUPI containing a network specific identifier always takes the form of a NAI as defined in
3GPP TS 23.003 [8].
The Subscription Concealed Identifier (SUCI) is a privacy preserving identifier containing the concealed SUPI as
specified in 3GPP TS 33.501 [5]. SUCI is calculated from SUPI. When the SUPI contains an IMSI, the corresponding
SUCI is derived as specified in 3GPP TS 23.003 [8]. When the SUPI contains a network specific identifier, the
corresponding SUCI in NAI format is derived as specified in 3GPP TS 23.003 [8].
User identification in non-3GPP accesses can require additional identities that are out of the scope of 3GPP.
4.3.2 FQDN for N3IWF Selection
An N3IWF FQDN is either provisioned by the home operator or constructed by the UE in either the Operator Identifier
FQDN format or the Tracking Area Identity FQDN format as specified in 3GPP TS 23.003 [8],
The N3IWF FQDN is used as input to the DNS mechanism for N3IWF selection.
4.4 Quality of service support
4.4.1 General
When the UE accesses the 3GPP 5G System (5GS) via non-3GPP access networks, the same QoS flow based 5G QoS
model and principles are followed as described in 3GPP TS 23.501 [2]. For PDU sessions that were established over
non-3GPP access, the QoS flow remains to be the finest granularity of QoS differentiation in the PDU Session.
4.4.2 QoS differentiation in untrusted non-3GPP access
4.4.2.1 General
For untrusted non-3GPP access, the N3IWF is the access network node that provides QoS signalling to support QoS
differentiation and mapping of QoS flows to non-3GPP access resources.
4.4.2.2 QoS signalling
A QoS flow is controlled by the SMF and can be preconfigured, or established via the UE requested PDU Session
establishment via untrusted non-3GPP access procedure, the UE or network requested PDU session modification via
untrusted non-3GPP access procedure. (see 3GPP TS 23.502 [3]),
During PDU session establishment, based on local policies, pre-configuration and the QoS profiles received, the
N3IWF determines the number of IPsec child SAs to establish and the QoS profiles associated with each IPsec child
SA. The N3IWF then initiates IPsec SA creation procedure to establish Child SAs associating to the QoS flows of the
PDU session.

4.4.2.3 QoS differentiation in user plane
For uplink, the UE associates an uplink user data packet with a QFI as specified in 3GPP TS 24.501 [4]. The UE shall
then encapsulate the uplink user data packet and the QFI associated with the uplink user data packet in the GRE header
and select IPsec child SA based on PDU session and QFI associated with the
