    Abstract: A user equipment “UE” may be configured with a client application for data collection, contact information pertaining to a network Application Function “AF,” and data collection information such as parameters, whereby the UE collects data that is specific to the UE and sends it to the AF over a user plane. The data collection parameters may include one or more of a type of data the UE should collect, data associated with one or more analytics IDs and application IDs, a data collection frequency, and a reporting frequency. The data collection information may include a processing requirement, an expiration time for the collected data, a timestamp of the data collection, and/or a correlation identifier that associates the collected data with the UE.

    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.
