Abstract

A data communication system serves a user application in a User Equipment (UE). The data communication system receives a subscription from an application server into a Network Exposure Function (NEF). The subscription is for user data from the user application in the UE. The data communication system receives the user data from the user application in the UE over a Virtual Private Network (VPN) and transfers the user data to the NEF. The data communication system transfers the user data from the NEF for delivery to the application server in response to the subscription.
