Abstract: An approach is described for a base station to generate a first message and a second message. The base station transmits the first message and the second message to a user equipment (UE). The first message is associated with a cell supported by the base station and includes a first public land mobile network (PLMN) identity index and a first list of one or more network slices supported by a first PLMN associated with the first PLMN identity index. The second message is associated with one or more neighboring cells, and includes the first PLMN identity index and a second list of one or more network slice data associated the first PLMN as supported by the one or more neighboring cells. In addition, at least one of the one or more network slice data in the second list includes a sub-list of one or more neighboring cell data.

Abstract: A network may authenticate a user equipment (UE) to access an edge data network. The network generates a first credential based on a second credential, the second credential generated for a procedure between the UE and a cellular network corresponding to the network component, receives an identifier associated with the first credential from a further network component in response to the UE transmitting an application registration request to a server associated with an edge data network and retrieves the first credential based on the identifier. The network also receives a multi-access edge computing (MEC) authorization parameter, verifies the MEC authorization parameter and transmits an authentication verification response to a second network component.

Abstract: An edge enabler server of an edge data network is configured to receive a verification request comprising an edge enabler client identification (EEC ID), wherein the EEC ID uniquely identifies an edge enabler client (EEC), determine whether the EEC ID is an authorized BEC ID and provide a verification response based on whether the EEC ID is authorized.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) may attempt to access an edge data network. The UE generates a first credential based on a second credential that was generated for a procedure between the UE and a network. The UE then generates an identifier corresponding to the first credential and generates a message authentication code based on the first credential and a count, wherein the count is associated with an identifier of an edge network client running on the UE. The UE then transmits an application registration request, message to a server associated with an edge data network, the application registration request message including the count, the message authentication code, the identifier corresponding to the first credential, and a public land mobile network identifier (PLMN ID) of the network. The UE then receives an authentication accept message or an authentication reject message from the server associated with the edge data network.

Abstract: A network receives an indication of user consent from a user equipment (UE) to access UE information for the purposes of edge computing. The network receives an indication of user consent from a UE, the user consent corresponding to a network function acquiring UE information, receives the UE information and performs operations related to establishing a connection between the UE and an edge data network.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) establishes a first type of connection to a first public land mobile network (PLMN), the first type of connection having a first non-access stratum (NAS) Count pair corresponding to a first NAS security context associated with the first PLMN, establishes a second type of connection to a second PLMN, wherein a previous second type of connection was established with the first PLMN, wherein the previous second type of connection has a second NAS Count pair corresponding to the first NAS security context, wherein the second type of connection has a third NAS Count pair corresponding to a second NAS security context associated with the second PLMN and deregisters the previous second type of connection with the first PLMN to reset the second NAS count pair at the first PLMN.

Abstract: A network component communicating with a user equipment (UE) and a server. The network component receives a first packet from the UE, wherein the first packet indicates to the network component that the network component is to perform operations on behalf of the UE to maintain a persistent connection, receives a second packet from the server and determines whether to transmit a signal to the UE based on the second packet received from the server. A UE having a transceiver and a processor. The UE transmits a first packet to the network component, wherein the first packet indicates to the network component that the network component is to perform operations on behalf of the UE to maintain a persistent connection, identifies an out of service (OOS) event, receives registration information from the network component and registers with the server based on the registration information received from the network component.
