Table 74.  PDN Connection Release by the UE Call Flow Description 
The UE is attached to the EPC and has a PDN connection with the P-GW for PDN-ID=x and APN with assigned HNP. 
The UE decides to disconnect from the PDN and sends a PPP VSNCP-Term-Req with PDNID=x. 
The HSGW starts disconnecting the PDN connection and sends a PPP-VSNCP-Term-Ack to the UE (also with PDNID=x). 
The HSGW begins the tear down of the PMIP session by sending a PBU Deregistration to the P-GW with the following 
attributes: Lifetime=0, MNID, APN, ATT=HRPD, HNP. The PBU Deregistration message should contain all the mobility 
options that were present in the initial PBU that created the binding. 
The P-GW looks up the Binding Cache Entry (BCE) based on the HNP, deletes the binding, and responds to the HSGW 
with a Deregistration PBA with the same attributes (Lifetime=0, MNID, APN, ATT=HRPD, HNP). 
The HSGW optionally sends a Router Advertisement (RA) with assigned HNP and prefix lifetime=0.
