Abstract
A network can handle access attempts by a mix of user equipments (UEs) that do and do not support multiple packet data network connections and do and do not support Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) and access attempts from networks that do and do not support multiple PDN connections. A method of operating a Trusted Non-3GPP Access network with a 3GPP network involves an authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) proxy in the Trusted Non-3GPP Access network and a UE that supports multiple PDN connections, with the AAA proxy sending an indication to the UE that the network supports multiple PDN connections.
