    Abstract: Various communication systems may benefit from improved network communication setup. A method, in certain embodiments, may include determining at a network entity a new protocol data unit session anchor of a protocol data unit session with a user equipment. The method may also include transmitting from the network entity to the new protocol data unit session anchor a request to establish the new protocol data unit session anchor. In addition, the method may include transmitting an indication from the network entity to a radio access network. The indication may notify the radio access network to switch paths to the new protocol data unit session anchor. Further, the method includes sending from the network entity a gratuitous address resolution protocol request to the determined new packet data unit session anchor. The gratuitous address resolution protocol request may comprise an address of the user equipment in the protocol data unit session.

    Abstract: Methods, computer program products, and apparatuses are provided for support of Low Latency, Low Loss and Scalable Throughput (LS4) for non-Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) access networks. In a multi-access (MA) protocol data unit (PDU) session, traffic is redistributed by a user equipment (UE) between access networks based on Access Traffic Steering, Switching, Splitting (ATSSS) rules and/or Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN). A user plane function (UPF) may update ECN information in PDUs of uplink traffic based on congestion information for LAS provided by an access network. A UPF redistributes traffic between access networks based on congestion information received via one or more access networks, and the ECN information transmitted in the PDUs may be updated accordingly.

    Abstract: Techniques for user consent in a communication network are disclosed. For example, a method comprises receiving, at a network entity of a communication network, a first level user consent for a first level data type for a first level purpose. The method further comprises applying, at the network entity, at least one hierarchical consent policy to the first level user consent to determine whether the first level user consent implies a second level user consent for a second level data type for a second level purpose.

    Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for quality of service (QoS) policy determination for packet handling of a traffic flow for extended reality (XR) applications. A method may include receiving a quality of service policy and classification information of one or more packets of a quality of service flow. The method may also include using a quality of service policy for handling the one or more packets of the quality of service flow based on the classification information to determine quality of service information. The method may further include sending the quality of service information to one or more network elements or user equipment for performing a per-packet adjustment of a quality of service parameter based on the quality of service information.

    Abstract: A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided herein to receive, from a source, performance requirements, and cause transmission, to a network, of a request to influence time sensitive communications (TSC) configuration parameters. For example, a method is provided to in response to the request to influence TSC configuration, receive, from the network, network configuration and radio access network (RAN) resource constraints and determine a quality of service (QoS) and the TSC configuration parameters to support a TSC data stream based on the performance requirements received from the source, the network configuration, and the RAN resource constraints. The method is further configured to cause transmission of the determined QoS and the TSC configuration parameters to the network and the source and in an instance the network accepts the determined QoS and the TSC configuration parameters, configure resources for the TSC data stream and continuously support service continuity.
