    Abstract: A method, operational at a device, includes receiving at least one packet belonging to a first set of packets of a packet flow marked with an identification value, determining that the at least one packet is marked with the identification value, determining to change a quality of service (QoS) treatment of packets belonging to the first set of packets marked with the identification value that are yet to be received, and sending a request to change the QoS treatment of packets belonging to the first set of packets marked with the identification value that are yet to be received to trigger a different QoS treatment of packets within the packet flow, responsive to determining to change the QoS treatment. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also claimed and described.

    Abstract: A gateway device detects a trigger associated with a device and, in response, identifies an application service associated with the device, obtains a traffic network policy associated with the application service, and obtains a network access token based on the traffic network policy. The network access token facilitates validating and/or mapping a downlink data packet obtained at the gateway device in user-plane traffic that is destined for the device. The network access token is sent to an entity in control-plane signaling. Subsequently, the gateway device obtains a downlink data packet including the network access token. The gateway device verifies the network access token and/or maps the downlink data packet to the device using data obtained from the network access token. The network access token may be removed from the downlink data packet before the downlink data packet is sent to the device according to the mapping.

    Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for wireless communication. A user equipment (UE) device may be connected to a first evolved packet data gateway (ePDG) via a first radio access technology (RAT). The UE may evaluate, either periodically or based on a trigger event, an ePDG reselection metric associated with the first ePDG to determine whether selecting a second ePDG different from the first ePDG is viable. The UE may then reselect to a second ePDG based on whether the ePDG reselection metric satisfies one or more selection conditions. Selection conditions may include, for example, a change in the location or public land mobile network (PLMN) of the UE, UE movement between networks, or a connection failure associated with the first ePDG.
