Apparatuses, methods, and systems are disclosed for Digital Identifier-based subscription onboarding. One apparatus includes a memory coupled to a processor, the memory storing instructions executable by the processor to control the apparatus to acquire a Digital Identifier ('DIG-ID') comprising a verifiably secure identity, and to generate a digital signature of the DIG-ID and a timestamp using a private key. The instructions are executable by the processor to control the apparatus to send a first request to a mobile communication network and to receive a response containing an onboarding authentication success indication and a verified DIG-ID, the first request including the DIG-ID, the timestamp and the digital signature. The instructions are executable by the processor to establish a provisioning connection to the mobile communication network and to receive a subscription credential and/or a user subscription profile via the provisioning connection.

Apparatuses, methods, and systems are disclosed for establishing a data connection for UAV operation. One apparatus includes a processor and a transceiver that communicates with a mobile communication network via an access network. Here, the processor sends (e.g., via the transceiver) a data connection request to a session management function, the data connection request requesting unmanned aerial vehicle ('UAV') operation. The processor receives (e.g., via the transceiver) a response to the data connection request. Here, the response includes remote identification and tracking information (“RITI”) for the UAV operation. The processor further sends (e.g., via the transceiver) one or more UAV data reports to a UAV Traffic Management (“UTM”) function using the RITI.

Requesting data connection for UAV operation

Apparatuses, methods, and systems are disclosed for indicating a network for a remote unit. One method includes transmitting a first message including a first registration request from a remote unit. The first message includes a discovery indication indicating that the remote unit is attempting to discover a network configured for use by the remote unit. The method includes receiving a second message including a list of networks configured for use by the remote unit. The second message is received in response to transmitting the first message. The method includes transmitting a third message including a second registration request from the remote unit. The second registration request includes an indication of a network selected from the list of networks configured for use by the remote unit.

Indicating a network for a remote unit

Apparatuses, methods, and systems are disclosed for supporting power saving for V2X communications. One apparatus includes a transceiver and a processor that receives a first request from a first application to send data over a PC5 interface. The processor determines a first PC5 DRX configuration for the first application based on at least one first QoS requirement and determines to establish a first PC5 QoS Flow to transmit the data. The processor associates the first PC5 DRX configuration with the first PC5 QoS Flow and sends a second request to an AS layer to establish a first QoS Flow, where the second request indicates a first QoS parameter and the first PC5 DRX configuration.

Configuring discontinuous reception for PC5 interface

Apparatuses, methods, and systems are disclosed for disabling analytics information of a network analytics function. One method includes transmitting, from an operation and management system, information indicating to disable analytics information of a network analytics function from use by at least one network function that is subscribed to the analytics information. The information indicating to disable the analytics information of the network analytics function includes: instructions corresponding to the network data analytics function; instructions corresponding to the at least one network function; a data identifier based on the analytics information; an analytics information type corresponding to the analytics information; an identifier or a type of the analytics information; a time interval or time window corresponding to the analytics information; instructions corresponding to a network slice instance; instructions corresponding to a single network slice selection assistance information; and/or instructions corresponding to a network slice subnet instance.

Disabling analytics information of a network analytics function

Method and apparatus for application server change are disclosed. A method includes obtaining information on application server change for an application when server changes to a target application server and making a decision to inform a user equipment ('UE') to rediscover the target application server for the application or configure UPF to steer traffic to and from the target application server for the application.

Server discovery improvement when application server changes

Apparatuses, methods, and systems are disclosed for selecting a server application instance. One apparatus includes a network interface that communicates with a plurality of network functions in a mobile communication network and a processor that receives a request from a first network function to provide performance analytics for a first application. Here, the request includes a present location and a requested time. Additionally, the first application comprises a group of application instances. The processor generates performance analytics for the first application by using a first collection of performance data and reports the performance analytics to the first network function. Here, the performance analytics indicate a best application instance in the group of application instances for the present location and the requested time.

Selecting an application instance

Apparatuses, methods, and systems are disclosed for access network selection for UEs not supporting the Non-Access Stratum ('NAS') protocol over non-3GPP access. One method includes creating a first list of available PLMNs, each PLMN connectable via a non-3GPP access network using a 5G connectivity without the NAS protocol. The method includes selecting a first PLMN from the first list and creating a second list of available non-3GPP access networks. The method includes selecting a first non-3GPP access network from the second list and beginning a connectivity procedure over the first non-3GPP access network, where the connectivity procedure creates a data connection for the apparatus via the first PLMN, and where the connectivity procedure does not use the NAS protocol.
