    Abstract: Systems and methods on ID swapping during privacy data forwarding. An aspect of the disclosure provides a method for network communication. Such a method includes receiving, by a management function from a policy controller, a first message including a data forwarding policy indicative of a configuration on how to forward data according to a data forwarding requirement from an original data sender. Such a method further includes sending, by the management function to a network function, a second message according to the first message. Such a method further includes obtaining, by the network function, an indication indicating a request for data forwarding and a corresponding flag indicating an ID swapping rule according to the second message.

    Abstract: A network function and a method for associating a UE of a UE group to a PDU session with in a CN. The NF establishes a shared PDU session for the UE group before all of the UEs in the UE group register with the CN and binds a UE that has not yet registered with the CN to the shared PDU session when the UE registers with the CN, provided the UE will share at least one of a UL UP connection and a DL UP connection associated with the shared PDU session. The NF may be an SMF.

    Abstract: Methods and System for enhanced navigation and traffic management are provided. A controller obtains input indicative of conditions on a physical road, traffic status information associated with the physical road and requirements of a mobile device. Based at least in part on the input, one or more virtual lanes defining respective routes along the physical road are determined. The virtual lanes are communicated to mobile devices which follow them in place of painted lanes. The virtual lanes can be dynamically updated for example to avoid obstacles. Different lanes can correspond to different priorities of traffic.

    Abstract: There is provided a method, apparatus and system for determining a location of a mobile device operatively coupled to a wireless network such that the mobile device can locally calculate its location information with high accuracy. The method comprises receiving, by a mobile device from each one of one or more transmission points of a wireless network via a respective broadcast transport channel designated for transmission of location information, a respective location message. The respective location information message contains an indication of geographic location of said one of the one or more transmission points. The method further comprises determining, by the mobile device, a location of the mobile device based on content of the location information message. The apparatus and system perform any or all of operations of the above methods and features explicitly or implicitly described.

    Abstract: An aspect of the disclosure provides for a method for user equipment (UE) internet protocol (IP) address management. The method includes sending by an application function (AF), a request to a policy control function (PCF), the request including information identifying traffic and an indication that a UE IP address associated with the traffic should be preserved. The method further includes sending by the PCF, to a session management function (SMF) being responsible for managing a Protocol Data Unit (PDU) session associated with the traffic, a policy and charging control (PCC) rule including the indication. In some embodiments, the request is sent by the AF to the PCF via a network exposure function (NEF). In some embodiments, the method further includes managing, by the SMF, the UE IP address according to the PCC rule. In some embodiments, the managing includes preserving the UE IP address for a PDU session associated with the traffic. In some embodiments, the preserving includes preventing reselection of a protocol data unit (PDU) session anchor (PSA) to which the UE IP address is associated.

    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure provide a system and method used for allowing a path selection or reselection (hereby (re)selection). In some embodiments data packets for a session between a UE and an application system (AS) can utilize a pre-established user plane path between the AS and an access node (AN) which serves the UE. This can allow for faster session set-up times as a new user plane (UP) path need not be established for every new session if existing UP paths can be utilized. Some embodiments allow an application aware (re)selection of the user plane.

    Abstract: There is provided a system including a platform controller for managing artificial intelligence services, wherein the system includes a processor coupled with a memory, having stored thereon instructions. The instructions, when executed by the processor, configure the platform controller to receive an artificial intelligence (AI) service registration request from an AI controller controlling the AI service, the AI service registration request including information indicative of locations of the AI service and transmit an AI service registration response to the AI controller, the AI service registration response including routing information at least in part specifying how to reach a coordinator associated with the AI service, the coordinator corresponding to a location of the AI service and transmit a notification indicative of availability of the AI service to a device. When a request for access to the AI service is received from the device, the platform controller is configured to transmit a response to the device, wherein the response is indicative of whether the request is accepted.
