A method may include receiving, by a traffic ingress entity of a communication network, one or more packets of a traffic flow. The method may also include assigning a classification, by the data reception entity, to each packet of the one or more packets of the traffic flow according to one or more protocol data unit sets to which the packet belongs to. The method may further include mapping the one or more packets of the traffic flow to one or more quality of service flows for quality of service handling of the one or more packets based on the classification assigned to each packet. In addition, the method may include outputting the classification assigned to each packet to a network element for enabling quality of service handling of the one or more packets based on the mapping and one or more quality of service information.

5GS classification of packets of a traffic flow

There is provided an apparatus, said apparatus comprising means for receiving, from a session management node, burst timing information for a 5G ingress node, receiving burst timing adjustment capability information for an application from a function associated with the application, determining at least one of preferred burst arrival times and periodicity at the 5G ingress node for at least one periodic traffic stream from the application based on the burst timing information and burst timing adjustment capability information and providing an indication of the at least one of determined preferred burst arrival times and periodicity to the function.

Apparatus, method and computer program

A plurality of interworking functions, which provide interworking between a communication network acting as an access network and a non-public network, is associated with a plurality of sites or network slices hosted by the non-public network (S). A user equipment is configured to select an interworking function of the plurality of interworking functions based on information on a site or network slice the user equipment is associated with, of the plurality of sites or network slices (S).

Non-3GPP interworking function (N3IWF) selection for stand-alone non-public networks (SNPN)

An apparatus is provided which comprises at least one processor and at least one memory including computer program code, the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to perform: detecting whether a first user equipment is present in an area served by a user plane function, and, when it is detected that the first user equipment is present in the area served by the user plane function, storing information about the presence of the first user equipment and controlling whether and when to allocate the first user equipment to the user plane function based on the stored information.

Detection and triggering for UE-TO-UE P2P traffic flow routing optimization

Techniques for facilitating onboarding to a non-public network is provided. Provisioning parameters may be provided to User Equipment (UE) from a Default Credential Server (DCS) via a secure communication tunnel. Additionally or alternatively, provisioning parameter container(s) including readable provisioning parameters for an Onboarding Network (ONN), and secure provisioning parameters for the UE, may be transmitted to the UE via the ONN. The disclosed methods and apparatuses enable the UE to onboard to a non-public network using the provisioning parameters, and to verify the integrity of the provisioning parameters and ensure the provisioning parameters are not modified by an unauthorized device.
