Abstract
A method of providing multiple sets of legacy credentials to be applied to one subscription in a 5th generation (5G) system, where a subscriber initiates via legacy wireline access to the 5G system, multiple communications sessions each requiring respective different credential. The method comprises receiving, at a gateway function of the 5G system, subscriber legacy wireline access via a gateway node of the subscriber, registering the subscriber and identifying the subscriber subscription based on line identification (ID). In response to registering the subscriber, receiving subscription information from a subscription data structure of the 5G system; and initiating the multiple communications sessions between the subscriber and the 5G system by having the gateway function authenticate each of the communications sessions based on the line ID, relate the line ID to additional subscriber credentials stored in the subscription data structure, and apply additional subscriber credentials for authorization of respective individual communications sessions.
