Sukchan Lee ae2a3255a5 [CSFB] Fix Location Update for non-EPS (#3381)
While experimenting with CSFB, it was observed that when the UE returns
to E-UTRAN after a CS call, the UE performs a Tracking Area Update
with a combined Tracking Area/Location Area update and IMSI attach.
Currently, Open5GS's MME simply responds with a TAU Accept message
but does not inform the MSC/VLR.

As a result, no further MT (Mobile Terminated) CS/SMS services are possible
in cases where the MSC/VLR only attempts paging on GERAN.
However, some MSC/VLR implementations with fast fallback may still attempt
paging on E-UTRAN, allowing MT CS/SMS services to function intermittently.

According to 3GPP TS 29.118 Section 5.2.2 Procedures in the MME,
specifically Section 5.2.2.2.1, if the timer Ts6-1 is not running,
the MME shall start the location update for non-EPS services procedure
upon receiving a combined Tracking Area Update Request indicating
combined TA/LA updating with IMSI attach. However, SGs timers are not
implemented in Open5GS, which is a separate issue.

To comply with the specification and ensure that the MSC/VLR is informed
when the UE becomes reachable via SGs, the following changes have been
implemented:

1. Delay UEContextReleaseCommand:

When the active_flag is set to 0, the UEContextReleaseCommand is now delayed
until the MME receives the TAU Complete message from the UE. This ensures
that the UE has acknowledged the new P-TMSI before the network releases
the context, maintaining proper synchronization between the UE and the network.

2. Include Mobile Identity Only When P-TMSI Changes:

The Mobile Identity is now included in the Attach/TAU Accept messages
only when the MSC/VLR updates the P-TMSI. This ensures that the UE receives
the Mobile Identity information solely when there is an actual change
in the P-TMSI, preventing unnecessary or incorrect handling
of TAU Complete messages.

3. Send SGsAP-REALLOCATION-COMPLETE Conditionally:

The SGsAP-REALLOCATION-COMPLETE message is now sent to the MSC/VLR
only upon receiving a Attach/TAU Complete message from the UE.
This confirmation indicates that the UE has successfully updated its P-TMSI,
ensuring that the MSC/VLR is accurately informed of the change.

4. Handle P-TMSI Confirmation:

When the MSC/VLR updates the P-TMSI, Open5GS stores the new P-TMSI
in the next field of the mme_ue structure. Upon receiving the TAU Complete
message from the UE, indicating acknowledgment of the new P-TMSI,
Open5GS confirms the update by transferring the P-TMSI from the next field
to the current field. This ensures that the MME maintains an accurate and
up-to-date record of the P-TMSI as confirmed by the UE.
