    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are described herein for providing fine-grained QoS rules within UE Policies. A network entity may receive triggers to update the policies of a user equipment (UE) with parameters based on input such as input from a third party. The network entity may derive fine-grained quality of service (QoS) rules and corresponding QoS Profiles and delivers them to the UE using a UE Policy container via the Non-Access Stratum (NAS). The fine-grained rules may comprise: a destination fully qualified domain name (FQDN) or uniform resource locator (URL), an Application ID, a User Route Selection Policy precedence value, etc. The fine-grained rules also provide mechanisms for time gating or volume gating. The UE may request new QoS treatment resulting in UE Policy update and may use the information in the fine-grained QoS rules when establishing or modifying PDU Session to apply QoS Flow Identifier (QFI) marking.

    Abstract: A user equipment (UE) operating in an “Onboarding Mode” may search for a network broadcasting Onboarding Capability Information (OCI), then register using onboarding credentials and receive SNPN credentials from the network. The UE may then exit onboarding mode, enter Manual Network Selection or Automatic Network Selection mode, and connect to the SNPN. A UE may also receive from a network a list of PLMNs and SNPNs that are equivalent then, when registering, indicate to the network that a requested slice is not associated with the UE's HPLMN, but is associated with an SNPN. The network may indicate to the UE how the slices of the network map to the slices of the SNPN, and may indicate whether a slice that is offered by the network only partially maps to a slice of the SNPN or HPLMN.

    Abstract: An overall architecture to integrate multicast and broadcast service into a general 5G core network. The architecture may provide methods and systems to switch the delivery mode of transmitting messages to User Equipment (UE)s from a unicast mode to a multicast mode. The method includes triggering events at UE, network functions, content provider or RAN node to initiate the switch process; a procedure for UE initiated switch from unicast to multicast; a procedure for network-initiated switch from unicast mode to multicast mode; and a procedure for RAN initiated switch from unicast mode to multicast mode. The architecture may also provide methods to switch the delivery mode from multicast mode to unicast mode. These methods may include triggering events at UE, network functions, content provider or RAN node to initiate the switch process; a procedure for UE initiated switch from multicast mode to unicast mode; a procedure for network-initiated switch from multicast mode to unicast mode; and a procedure for RAN initiated switch from multicast mode to unicast mode.

    Abstract: The present application at least describes an apparatus including a non-transitory memory including instructions stored thereon and a processor, operably coupled to the non-transitory memory, configured to execute as set of instructions. The set of instructions include determining a preference to operate in a reduced capacity (REDCAP) mode in a network. The set of instructions also include transmitting, via a radio resource control (RRC) message to a registration location on the network, a registration request to operate in the REDCAP mode. The registration request prompts a selection of an access and mobility function (AMF) configured to authorize the apparatus to operate in the REDCAP mode and communicate with the apparatus. The registration request prompts a session management function (SMF) to determine characteristics of a protocol data unit (PDU) session of the apparatus. The set of instructions also include receiving, from the network, a response to the registration request based on the AMF authorization and SMF determination.
