1. A registration processing method, comprising:
- identifying, by a user equipment (UE), a registration type when registering into a network;
accessing, by a user equipment (UE), a non-3rd Generation Partnership Project (non-3GPP) network;
adding, by the UE, a Type information element (IE) to an Attach Request message in response to a handover from the non-3GPP network to a 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) network;
reporting,sending, by the UE, a registration processing type information corresponding to the identified registration type to a network-side network element during registering into the network, wherein the registration processing type information reported by the UE is an Type information element (IE) in an Attach Request message, the values of whichthe Attach Request message to a Mobility Management Entity (MME) in the 3GPP network, wherein a value of the Type IE in the Attach Request message corresponds to Handover Attach and indicates that the Attach Request message is caused by handoverwhen the UE finds that the registration is caused by handover between a non 3rd Generation Partnership Project (non-3GPP) network and a 3rd Generation Partnership (3GPP) network.

Abstract
A registration processing method and an apparatus are disclosed herein to enable the network to distinguish between different registration processing types. The method includes: identifying, by a user equipment, UE, a registration type when registering into a network; reporting, by the UE, a registration processing type information corresponding to the identified registration type to a network-side network element during registering into the network. The UE reports the registration processing type information to the network in the process of registering into the network, and therefore, the network distinguishes between different registration processing types accordingly.

identifying, by a user equipment (UE), a registration type when registering into a network; accessing, by a user equipment (UE), a non-3rd Generation Partnership Project (non-3GPP) network; adding, by the UE, a Type information element (IE) to an Attach Request message in response to a handover from the non-3GPP network to a 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) network;
reporting,sending, by the UE, a registration processing type information corresponding to the identified registration type to a network-side network element during registering into the network, wherein the registration processing type information reported by the UE is an Type information element (IE) in an Attach Request message, the values of whichthe Attach Request message to a Mobility Management Entity (MME) in the 3GPP network, wherein a value of the Type IE in the Attach Request message corresponds to Handover Attach and indicates that the Attach Request message is caused by handoverwhen the UE finds that the registration is caused by handover between a non 3rd Generation Partnership Project (non-3GPP) network and a 3rd Generation Partnership (3GPP) network. - View Dependent Claims (2, 3, 4, 5)

6. A User Equipment (UE), comprising:
-
an identifying unit, configured to identify a registration type when the UE initiates the registration; a registration initiating unit, configured to initiate registration and send a registration triggering signal; and a reporting unit, configured to receive the registration triggering signal from the registration initiating unit, and report processing type information during registering the UE into the network, wherein the processing type information corresponds to the registration type identified by the identifying unit, and the registration processing type information is an Type information element (IE) in an Attach Request message, the values of which a memory storing instructions; and one or more processors in communication with the memory, wherein the one or more processors execute the instructions to; access a non-3rd Generation Partnership Project (non-3GPP) network; add a Type information element (IE) to an Attach Request message in response to a handover from the non-3GPP network to a 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) network; and send the Attach Request message to a Mobility Management Entity (MME) in the 3GPP network; wherein a value of the Type IE in the Attach Request message corresponds to Handover Attach and indicates that the Attach Request message is caused by handover, when the registration is caused by handover between a non 3rd Generation Partnership Project (non-3GPP) network and a 3rd Generation Partnership (3GPP) network.

7. A method, comprising:
-
receiving, by a mobility management entity (MME), an attach request message from a user equipment (UE) in response to a handover from a non-3rd Generation Partnership Project (non-3GPP) network to a 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) network, wherein the attach request message comprises an information element (IE) indicating handover; identifying, by the MME, a packet data network gateway (PDN GW) used by the UE in the non-3GPP network according to the IE indicating handover; and sending, by the MME, a create bearer request for creating a bearer to the PDN GW. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9)

10. A mobility management entity, comprising:
-
a receiver configured to receive an attach request message from a user equipment (UE) in response to a handover from a non-3rd Generation Partnership Project (non-3GPP) network to a 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) network, wherein the attach request message comprises an information element (IE) indicating handover; a processor communicatively coupled to the receiver and configured to identify a packet data network gateway (PDN GW) used by the UE in the non-3GPP network according to the IE indicating handover; and a transmitter configured to send a create bearer request for creating a bearer to the PDN GW. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12)
