Embodiments of the present disclosure provide method and apparatus for access or RAT restriction. A method at a first access management entity of a network comprises determining that a user equipment (UE) is using LTE-M radio access technology (RAT). The method further comprises obtaining access restriction or RAT restriction data associated with the UE, wherein the access restriction or RAT restriction data indicates that LTE-M RAT type is restricted. The method further comprises determining whether the UE using LTE-M is allowed to attach or register to the network based on the obtained access restriction or RAT restriction data associated with the UE.

Method and apparatus for access or RAT restriction

The present disclosure relates to a method performed by a first network node. The first network node determines which UE category a UE belongs to. The UE category is M or non-BL in CE. The first network node provides UE category information about the determined UE category to a second network node.

UE, network nodes for handling UE category information

Methods performed by core network nodes and base stations for sharing error information are disclosed. A method performed by a core network node comprises initiating transmission of an ERROR INDICATION message to a base station connected to the core network node, wherein the ERROR INDICATION message comprises identification information of a wireless device that is the source of an incoming message in which an error has been detected. A method performed by a base station comprises initiating transmission of an ERROR INDICATION message to a core network node connected to the base station, wherein the ERROR INDICATION message comprises identification information of a wireless device that is the source of an incoming message in which an error has been detected. Also disclosed are core network nodes and base stations configured to perform the methods.

Handling error indication

A method for selection of a core network. The method which can be performed by a first network node comprises receiving a message for a terminal device from a second network node. The message can enable the first network node to determine a category of the terminal device. The method further comprises selecting a core network for the terminal device based at least in part on the category of the terminal device. The terminal device can be served by a dedicated core network selected for the terminal device adaptively, so that network configuration and resource efficiency can be improved.

Method and apparatus for dedicated core network selection

A method performed by a network node for restoring a Short Message Service (SMS) service in a connection between User Equipment (UE) and a communications network is provided. The UE is attached to the communications network with Evolved Packet System (EPS) attach and SMS only, via a radio network node, a Visitor Location Register (VLR) Mobile Switching Centre (MSC), and the network node. When receiving information that indicates a restart of the VLR MSC in the connection, network node sends () to the radio network node, an indication to trigger the UE to send a Tracking Area Update (TAU) request with SMS only. The network node receives () the TAU request with SMS only, triggered by the UE according to the indication sent to the radio network node. The network node then restores () the SMS service based on information in the TAU request with SMS only, received from the UE.

Network node, user equipment and methods in a wireless communications network

Methods and apparatuses are disclosed for network triggered service restoration (NTSR). According to an embodiment, a serving gateway (SGW) obtains, from a mobility management entity (MME), information capable of indicating whether to apply NTSR for a terminal device. In response to detecting a failure of the MME, the SGW determines whether to apply NTSR for the terminal device based on the obtained information.

Methods and apparatuses for network triggered service restoration

The embodiments herein relate to reducing signaling for DoNAS (Data over Non-Access Stratum) via SGi. In one embodiment, there proposes a method () in a mobility management node (), comprising: establishing (S) an S11-U connection between the mobility management node () and a gateway node (); monitoring (S) the frequency of data transferring request for a wireless device (); and deciding (S) whether or not to release the S11-U connection based on the frequency of data transferring request. With the embodiments herein, the signaling between the mobility management node and the gateway node can be significantly reduced, without introducing extra signaling or message to the existing network.

Reducing signaling for data over non-access stratum via an SGI interface

A method implemented by a network device for mobility management in a wireless communication network is provided. The network device is communicatively connected to at least a user equipment in the wireless communication network. The method comprises determining whether the user equipment is in a fast-moving state upon receipt of a tracking area update request from the user equipment. The method further comprises: in response to the user equipment being in the fast-moving state, configuring a tracking area identity list associated with the user equipment to include only a current tracking area identity associated with the user equipment, and paging the user equipment using the tracking area identity list. Accordingly, a network device for mobility management in a wireless communication network is also provided.

Methods and devices for mobility management

A method for communications is proposed. The method may comprise transmit a request for a packet data network connection of the terminal device to a network node. The method may further comprise receiving a response to the request from the network node. The response may indicate whether user plane setup is needed for data transfer on the packet data network connection.

Configuration of a packet data network connection

A method in a SCEF is provided. The method comprises receiving a message indicating that non-IP data is to be delivered to a UE. The method further comprises retrieving information associated with a MME serving the UE. The method further comprises transmitting, to the MME, a message triggering establishment of a connection between the SCEF and the MME for delivering the non-IP data. Other devices and methods for connection establishment between MME and SCEF are also provided.
