    Abstract: Methods and systems for triggers of leaving procedure methods and systems for triggers of leaving procedure. The method includes receiving, by the UE, an RRC signaling connection release from a wireless communication network. The RRC signaling connection release indicates that the UE moves to an RRC inactive state. The UE is in a multi-user services identity module (MUSIM) mode. The method includes determining, by the UE, if there is an activity over 3GPP access due to another USIM. The method includes transmitting, by the UE, a non-access stratum (NAS) message including a service request message. The method includes triggering, by the wireless communication network, a release procedure to transfer the UE to an IDLE state in response to receiving the services request message in RRC Inactive state.

    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a 5G or 6G communication system for supporting a higher data transmission rate. Methods and systems for handling network slice admission control for User Equipment (UE) are provided. The disclosure relates to network slicing and more particularly, to a system and method of ensuring that a communication system is able to accurately enforce quota on the maximum number of UEs concurrently registering for a network slice defined by a Single Network Slice Selection Assistance Information (S-NSSAI). The disclosure describes how the limits of “Number of Terminals” configured for an S-NSSAI may be accurately maintained in a Network Slice Admission Control Function (NSACF), and thus the enforcement may be performed when the limit is really exhausted. The disclosure also describes that a deregistration notification from a Unified Data Management (UDM) may act as a trigger for an old Mobility Management Function (AMF) to decrement counts in the NSACF as the old AMF is no longer serving the UE.

    Abstract: Disclosed herein are a communication technique for merging, with an IoT technology, a 5G communication system for supporting a data transmission rate higher than that of a 4G system; and a system therefor.
    Embodiments herein disclose a method of protecting sensitive user plane traffic in an User Equipment (UE) (100), the method comprising: transmitting, to a network (200), by the UE (100) a first NAS message comprising an indicator indicating that the UE (200) supports of a secure channel for domain name system (DNS); receiving, from the network (200), by the UE (100) a second NAS message including DNS server security information in response to transmitting the first NAS message; and transmitting, to the network (200), by the UE (100) the DNS over the secure channel based on the DNS server security information.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a communication method and system for converging a 5th-Generation (5G) communication system for supporting higher data rates beyond a 4th-Generation (4G) system with a technology for Internet of Things (IoT). The present disclosure may be applied to intelligent services based on the 5G communication technology and the IoT-related technology, such as smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car, connected car, health care, digital education, smart retail, security and safety services.
    Methods and systems for handling encoding of radio capability information of UE using RACS. A method disclosed herein includes encoding radio capability information of a user equipment (UE) in formats of multiple radio access technologies (RATs) that have been supported by a public land mobile network (PLMN) in which the UE is registered. The method further includes assigning a radio capability identifier (RAC-ID) to the UE for signalling the radio capability information encoded in the multiple formats across the multiple RATs. The method further includes encoding the radio capability information in a specific format of the indicated RAT and assigning the RAC-ID to the UE for signalling the radio capability information and the associated encoding format.

    Abstract: Methods and systems for managing AMF re-allocation is provided. The method for managing AMF reallocation during UE registration procedure with a 5G network comprises: determining if the first AMF may send a routing assistance information to the UE, on the first AMF determining that the first AMF is not a right AMF to serve the UE; sending a routing assistance information, to the UE, as response to a first registration request message; receiving routing assistance information from the first AMF; sending a second registration request message to a 5G RAN of the 5G network comprising a portion of content included in the routing assistance information; and routing the second registration request message to a second AMF of the 5G network, wherein the second AMF is determined by the 5G RAN based on the portion of content included in the routing assistance information.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a communication method and system for converging a 5th-Generation (5G) communication system for supporting higher data rates beyond a 4th-Generation (4G) system with a technology for Internet of Things (IoT). A method performed by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless network, the method comprising: establishing a communication with an application function (AF) server using a first authentication and key management for applications (AKMA) application key (KAF); receiving a message over the established communication from the AF server, the message indicating that a lifetime of the first KAF has expired; and configuring a back-off flag in the UE to optimize an AKMA key refresh mechanism in the wireless network in response to receiving the message, wherein the back-off flag prevents a request for a first AKMA anchor key (KAKMA) until a fresh primary authentication is performed.
