scope:

The present document specifies the procedures for access traffic steering, switching and splitting (ATSSS) between the UE and the network across one 3GPP access network and one non-3GPP access network as specified in 3GPP TS 23.501 [2], 3GPP 23.502 [3], and 3GPP TS 23.316 [4].

The ATSSS can be supported over the access network where an MA PDU session can be established. The type of access network includes NG-RAN and untrusted non-3GPP access network as specified in 3GPP TS 23.501 [2], trusted non-3GPP access network, wireline access network and as specified in 3GPP TS 23.316 [4]. An MA PDU session established by the 5G-RG can also simultaneously use one 3GPP access network connected to EPC and one wireline access network connected to 5GCN as specified in 3GPP TS 23.316 [4].
