Initiated by the network:

UE behaviour in state EMM-DEREGISTERED

The state EMM-DEREGISTERED is entered in the UE, when:

- the detach or combined detach
- the attach, tracking area update, service request procedure are rejected by the MME
- the UE is switched on; or
- change from S1 mode to non-3GPP
