Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for individual delivery of location-based multicast services are provided. One method may include receiving, by a session management node, information that a user equipment is participating in a multicast session, determining that the UE is served by a radio access node that does not support multicast sessions, and determining that the multicast session is only to be delivered to one or several service areas. In response to determining that the UE is served by a radio access node not supporting multicast and that the multicast session is only to be delivered to one or several service areas, the method further comprises subscribing to at least one notification from at least one access and mobility management node.

Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for distributing multicast packets in individual protocol data unit (PDU) sessions are provided. One method may include receiving, at a user plane node, a request from a session management node, to receive packets for a multicast session and/or to send packets from the multicast session within a protocol data unit (PDU) session. The method may also include determining whether the user plane node was already configured to receive incoming packets for the multicast session, and informing the session management node as to whether the user plane node was already configured to receive the incoming packets for the multicast session.

Abstract: According to an aspect, there is provided an apparatus configured to perform the following. The apparatus receives a service announcement of a multicast broadcast service. The apparatus receives, in the service announcement and/or in at least one message following the service announcement, at least one indication indicating support for all or at least some reduced capability terminal devices for the multicast broadcast service. The apparatus performs a cell reselection process based on cell measurements and the at least one indication.

Abstract: Techniques for providing distributed NAS layer termination points within a communication network. A network entity assigns a non-access stratum temporary identifier to a user device. The non-access stratum temporary identifier is associated with a non-access stratum termination point, and wherein a type of non-access stratum termination point is based at least in part on an apparatus type configured to handle one or more non-access stratum messages. The network entity causes the user device to be provided with the non-access stratum temporary identifiers.

Abstract: A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided for selectively maintain a multicast and broadcast service (MBS) session as active even though packets may not be received for at least a predetermined period of time. In the context of a method, the method includes determining that an MBS session is to remain active. The method also includes providing an MBS session create request that includes a description for the MBS session. The MBS session create request further includes an indication that the MBS session is not to be deactivated in the event that incoming packets are not detected for a period of time.

Abstract: Method comprising:



determining at least one terminal that should be kept in RRC connected state, wherein the determination is based on at least one of the following criteria: participation of the terminal in a communication session that is to be distributed via multicast or broadcast, a history of communication patterns of the terminal, and input of a human moderator; and
informing a network function of the determined at least one terminal that the terminal should be kept in the RRC connected state.

Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products of policy control for 5G multicast-broadcast services (5MBS) are provided. One method may include, when a multicast distribution session begins, selecting, by an ingress node, a control node for the multicast distribution session. The method may also include attempting to establish a policy association for the multicast distribution session with the control node, receiving a failure reply from the control node for establishing the policy association including an identifier of an already assigned second control node, establishing a policy control association related to the multicast distribution session with the second control node, providing the identifier (ID) of the multicast distribution session to the second control node, and receiving policies related to the multicast distribution session from the second control node.

Abstract: An apparatus, comprising at least one processing circuitry, and at least one memory for storing instructions to be executed by the at least one processing circuitry, wherein the at least one memory and the instructions are configured to, with the at least one processing circuitry, cause the apparatus at least to receive a request for joining a terminal endpoint device to an established multicast session; based on the received request, subscribe at a network entity to one or several notifications, the one or several notifications indicating whether data to be transmitted for the established multicast session is available for multicasting; obtain a subscribed notification from the network entity if data for the established multicast session is available for multicasting; and responsive to the obtained subscribed notification, issue for the established multicast session a downlink data notification for the terminal endpoint device.
