    摘要: Methods and systems for transferring monitoring event information during a mobility procedure are provided. According to one aspect, a method for transferring monitoring event information during a mobility procedure comprises, at a first network node: receiving and storing subscription information indicating that a second network node has subscribed to get notification when there is a data delivery failure involving a User Equipment (UE), followed by the UE becoming reachable; detecting a data delivery failure involving the UE, and setting a flag to indicate that a data delivery failure involving the UE has occurred; receiving, from a third network node, a mobility related request; sending, to the third network node, a response to the mobility related request, comprising an indication that the third network node should notify the second network node when the UE becomes reachable and/or when then UE enters the IDLE state.

    摘要: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide methods and apparatuses for assigning network address prefix. A method performed by a control plane function may comprise: receiving, from a terminal device, a request for assigning a network address prefix; determining whether the network address prefix is assigned by the control plane function or a user plane function; transmitting, to the user plane function, a PFCP Session Modification Request for requesting the user plane function to assign the network address prefix, if it is determined that the network address prefix is assigned by the user plane function; receiving, from the user plane function, a PFCP Session Modification Response including an assigned network address prefix; and transmitting the assigned network address prefix to the terminal device. The specific procedure for the terminal device to obtain the network address prefix from a network entity not directly requested by the terminal device may be defined.

    摘要: A method of operation of a cellular communications system is disclosed. The method comprises: at a MME: receiving an attach request from a UE; sending a location update request to a HSS; receiving a location update acknowledgement; sending, to a DNS, a DNS query request comprising an APN FQDN; receiving a DNS query response comprising information that indicates candidate PGWs that satisfy the DNS query request and at least two PGWs belonging to a same PGW set; selecting the first PGW; sending, to a SGW, a first create session request that comprises information that indicates the first PGW; receiving a first create session response; sending an attach accept to the UE; and at the SGW: receiving the first create session request from the MME; forwarding the first create session request to the first PGW; receiving the first create session response; and forwarding the first create session response to the MME.

    摘要: The present disclosure proposes network elements (NEs), methods at NEs for facilitating data forwarding, and a telecommunications system comprising the NEs. The method at a first network element for facilitating data forwarding may comprise: receiving, from a second network element, a first message comprising a first indicator indicating that a data forwarding function is supported by the second network element. Further, the first message may be a first request message which requests registering, at the first network element, one or more functions of the second network element comprising the data forwarding function. Further, the method may further comprise transmitting, to the second network element, a first response message comprising a second indicator indicating success of the registration.

    摘要: Disclosed herein is a method of operation a core network entity (e.g., an AMF or MME) in a core network of a cellular communications system. The method comprises: receiving, from another core network entity (e.g., UMCF), a notification message that comprises a request to replace a PLMN UE radio capability ID(s) containing a first version ID with a PLMN UE radio capability ID(s) containing a second version ID, the second version ID being newer than the first version ID; and performing one or more actions responsive to receiving the notification message.

    摘要: Disclosed herein is a method by an AMF node 120-4 operative in a 5GS that comprises a UE 112 associated with a Subscriber Permanent Identifier (SUPI) that is associated with subscription data of the UE. The method comprises: sending towards a SMF node, a request relating to a PDU Session of the UE and comprising a Request Type that is set to Existing PDU Session; and receiving from the SMF node, a response comprising a
    Generic Public Subscription Identifier (GPSI) of the PDU session, which GPSI is associated with the SUPI and which GPSI is to be used in networks outside the 5GS for addressing the subscription data of the UE.
