This page describes TAU procedure used in LTE system. TAU stands for Tracking Area Update in LTE system. It mentions TAU procedure without S-GW change and with S-GW change.
A standalone TAU (tracking area update) without or with S-GW change happens when GPRS-attached UE or
E-UTRAN-attached UE will go thorough certain conditions as mentioned in the 3GPP TS 23.401 document section 5.3.3.0.
