Supporting multiple application function sessions with required group quality of service (QoS) provided by machine learning model provider application function

A system to support time sensitive networking (TSN) in a 5G system is described. The TSN application function (AF) sends to a device-side translator a Port Management Information Container (PMIC) and port number that has a Stream Identification type value and Stream Identification controlling parameters that depend on the Stream Identification type value for per-stream policing and filtering in a distributed bridge. During establishment of the bridge, the network-side translator port numbers are provided to the TSN AF in a Bridge Management Information Container (BMIC). Any PDU session of the bridge is able to be selected for Ethernet port and Bridge management procedures between the network-side translator and the TSN AF.

5G time sensitive networking bridge configuration

Systems and methods of providing UE capability are described. A capability ID is associated with the same Radio Capability information for multiple UEs. If the capability ID is validated at a network node, the UE provides the capability ID to a RAN node, which obtains the capability information from the network node after providing the received capability ID to the RAN node. The capability ID is received in an RRC Setup Complete. Security Mode Complete or Reconfiguration Complete message. The network node, if the Radio Capability information is not available, requests and receives the Radio Capability information and associates it with the capability ID, and marks that the capability ID as not validated until a threshold number of the UEs have provided the same Radio Capability information. The capability ID is based on a UE device type, manufacturer and software version.

UE capability transfer and storage

Methods, systems, and storage media are described for the utilization of user equipment (UE) identifiers for registration in fifth generation (5G) systems. An apparatus of a user equipment includes processing circuitry to: retrieve a first 5G-GUTI from a memory; generate a registration request message that includes the first 5G-GUTI; encode the registration request message for transmission to a fifth-generation core (5GC) network of a second PLMN; receive a registration accept message that includes a second 5G-GUTI; and access the second PLMN using the second 5G-GUTI.

Use of user equipment (UE) identifiers for registration in fifth generation (5G) systems

Apparatus, systems, computer-readable media, and methods for switching user plane function nodes associated with connections in communication systems are described. Some embodiments include moving one or more existing traffic flows from a first connection with a data network to a second connection with the data network, wherein the first connection at least partially overlaps, in time, with the second connection.

Network-initiated connection transfer

An apparatus and system for onboarding based on UE default manufacturer credentials are described. A UE sends default manufacturer credentials and an indication to proceed with restricted onboarding to an onboarding non-public network (O-SNPN). An Onboarding Server validates the authenticity of the UE based on the manufacturer credentials and sends a certificate. The UE is provisioned with a set of roots of trust certificate information to use to authenticate the certificate using one way authentication. After authentication, the UE receives network credentials and performs mutual authentication to register with a NPN while being authenticated by a home network. The UE identity is indicated as anonymous in response to an indication by the O-SNPN for subscriber identifier privacy.

UE onboarding and provisioning using one way authentication

This disclosure describes systems, methods, and devices related to service function chaining in wireless networks. A communications system may include a communication control function to select one or multiple communication service functions associated with establishing service function chaining (SFC) services for telecommunications; a service orchestration and chaining function (SOCF) to establish the SFC services; and a service orchestration exposure function (SOEF) to expose the SFC services to an application function (AF) of the system.

Enhanced service function chaining in next generation cellular networks

The present disclosure describes techniques for utilizing paging cause values for paging user equipment (UE). The Paging Cause may be used for the UE in an CM_IDLE state or when the UE is in an RRC_INACTIVE state. A paging cause information element is included in a paging message, and includes a paging cause value. The paging cause value indicates a type of traffic that has initiated a paging operation. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

Paging cause determination for inactive device in the 5G system

Techniques are provided for managing the provisioning of voice services to a user equipment (UE) in a fifth generation (5G) network. For example, the UE generates a registration request message that includes 5G mobility management (5GMM) capabilities of the UE that are indicative of whether the UE supports voice over internet protocol multimedia subsystem (IMS), and transmits the registration request message to a next generation radio access network (NGRAN) node in the 5G wireless network. Based on the 5GMM capabilities, the NG-RAN node can determine whether voice over IMS can be provided to UE by comparing the 5GMM capabilities to capabilities of the NG-RAN node.

Method, computer readable medium and apparatus to determine support of IMS voice service in a 5G mobile network

Devices, systems and methods for transitioning a UE to a new application server in response to a mobility event comprising, at a source application server handler: receiving an application ID (AC-ID) associated with an application client for a user equipment (UE); receiving a mobility event notification including a UE ID of the UE and a target data network access identifier (DNAI) to indicate a target edge data network to which a transition of a data connection for the application client is to be performed; encoding an outgoing transition request for transmission to a source application server to indicate the transition of the data connection from the source application server; and encoding an incoming transition request for transmission to a target application server handler (ASH) of the target edge data network to indicate the transition of the data connection to the target edge data network.

Methods and apparatus for enabling service continuity in an Edge computing environment

A network device (e.g., a user equipment (UE), a new radio NB (gNB), or other network component) can process or generate a one-step paging reception or a two-step paging reception based on being in a sub-state of an idle mode. A UE can enter into an idle state to enable a decreased power consumption of battery, and further reduce power consumption by only monitoring a PDCCH in response to operating in a camped on any cell state, and eliminate processing a paging message when in the camped on any cell state.

Paging reception for user equipment in idle and inactive state

Systems and methods provide for controlling the derivation of QoS rules in the UE by flexibly defining the scope of packet header fields over which packet filter derivation is performed. The scope of packet header fields for derivation of QoS rules may be provided by the network to the UE upon PDU Session establishment or modification. For PDU Session of IP type, the network indicates to the UE whether the scope of RQoS includes both the Source/Destination IP address pair and the Source/Destination Port numbers, or only the former. For PDU Session of Ethernet type, the network indicates to the UE whether the scope of RQoS includes both the Source/Destination MAC address pair and the IEEE 802.1Q tag, or only the former. The UE may indicate to the network whether it supports the flexible scope of packet filters for RQoS for a PDU session.

Flexible scope of packet filters for reflective quality of service

In an example method, a user equipment (UE) determines a first identifier assigned to the UE for use on a first wireless communications network and one or more first time slots for monitoring the first wireless communication networks. The UE determines a second identifier assigned to the UE for use on a second wireless communications network and one or more second time slots for monitoring the second wireless communication networks. The UE determines that the one or more first time slots at least partially overlap the one or more second time slots, and in response, transmits to the second wireless communications network, a request for a third identifier to be assigned to the UE for use on the second wireless communications network and/or a request that the one or more second time slots be offset by an interval of time.

Avoiding paging collisions in a device with multiple subscriptions

A computer system that establishes a first registration and a second registration in a common wireless communication system is described. During operation, the computer system performs a first registration of the user equipment over a first access, where, after the first registration, the user equipment is connected via the first access with a first access and mobility management function (AMF). Then, the computer system performs a second registration of the user equipment over a second access, where the second access is different from the first access and, after the second registration, the user equipment is connected via the second access with a second AMF. Moreover, when performing the second registration, the computer system: transfers a context of the user equipment from the first AMF to the second AMF; and/or relocates a network interface in a control plane from the first AMF to the second AMF.

Handling of 3GPP and non-3GPP access in the 5G system

Embodiments of an Evolved Node-B (eNB), User Equipment (UE) and methods for communication are generally described herein. The eNB may receive, from a mobility management entity (MME), a path switch trigger message that indicates an identifier of an eRelay UE for a relay arrangement for an eRemote UE. The eNB may determine whether the eRelay UE is served by the eNB. The eNB may, if it is determined that the eRelay UE is served by the eNB, transmit a radio resource control (RRC) connection reconfiguration message to the eRemote UE. The RRC connection reconfiguration message may indicate a switch from a direct communication to an indirect communication between the eRemote UE and the eNB. The indirect communication may be through the eRelay UE in accordance with the relay arrangement.
