    摘要: Apparatuses, methods, and systems are disclosed for network slice authentication. One method includes receiving a registration request message associated with a UE and determining an authentication requirement for a network slice based at least in part on the received registration request. The method includes transmitting an authentication request to a network entity based at least in part on the determined authentication requirement for the network slice and receiving an authentication response from the network entity based at least in part on the transmitted authentication request. The method includes determining, based at least in part on the received authentication response, whether to include the network slice within a set of allowed NSSAI and transmitting a registration accept message comprising the allowed NSSAI.

    摘要: Apparatuses, methods, and systems are disclosed for registration authentication based on a capability. One method (700) includes receiving (702), at a second network device from a first network device, an indication for a capability for a registration. The method (700) includes transmitting (704), to a third network device, a first request for a type of authentication procedure for the registration. The method (700) includes transmitting (706), to a remote unit, a second request. The second request corresponds to the type of authentication procedure for the registration. The method (700) includes receiving (708), from the remote unit, a response to the second request. The response corresponds to a stored credential in the remote unit.

    摘要: Apparatuses, methods, and systems are disclosed for admission control based on registered user equipments. One method includes receiving, at a first network function (NF), an indication from a second NF to subscribe to notifications for an admission control mode of a network slice. The method includes determining a number of user equipments (UEs) registered with the network slice. The method includes sending a first request to the second NF to activate the admission control mode for the network slice based on the number of UEs registered with the network slice being greater than a threshold value. The method includes sending a second request to the second NF to deactivate the admission control mode for the network slice based on the number of UEs registered with the network slice being less than or equal to the threshold value.

    摘要: Apparatuses, methods, and systems are disclosed for provisioning server selection in a cellular network. One method includes communicating, at a network device, with a remote unit via a first network function. The method includes receiving an authentication request from the first network function. The method includes selecting a provisioning server based on a remote unit identity of an onboarding profile, based on a pre-configuration, or a combination thereof. The method includes transmitting a response message to the first network function. The response message includes a provisioning server address.

    摘要: Apparatuses, methods, and systems are disclosed for slice-specific RACH configuration. One apparatus (1000) includes a processor (1005) and a transceiver (1025) that receives (1205) a first set of slice-specific RACH configurations and receives (1210) a mapping of slice group identities to network slices of a communication network. Here, each slice-specific RACH configuration contains a set of random access parameters specific to a slice group identity. The processor (1005) selects (1215) a first RACH configuration for a first network slice based on the mapping and performs (1220) a random-access procedure in accordance with the first RACH configuration. Via the transceiver (1025), the processor (1005) transmits (1225) a service request to the communication network in accordance with the first RACH configuration.

    摘要: Apparatuses, methods, and systems are disclosed for supporting delegated data connections. One apparatus includes a processor and a transceiver that receives an access request indicating that a remote unit requires to access a first access network. The processor determines to establish a delegated data connection in a mobile communication network for the remote unit, the delegated data connection connecting the apparatus with an external data network. The processor enables the authentication of the remote unit by converting a first authentication signaling used by the mobile communication network to a second authentication signaling used by the first access network. The processor controls the transceiver to forward data traffic between the remote unit and the external data network over the delegated data connection, wherein the delegated data connection is reserved for use by the remote unit.

    摘要: Apparatuses, methods, and systems are disclosed for supporting edge data network discovery. One apparatus includes a transceiver and a processor that receives a first request from a function in the mobile communication network including a UE identity and a UE network address. The processor determines whether the UE is located in a first service area based on a UE location and forwards a DNS request received from the UE network address to a first DNS server associated with the first service area in response to determining that the UE is located in the first service area. Via the transceiver, the processor receives a DNS reply from the first DNS server and sends a second request to a policy function in the mobile communication network in response to determining that the DNS reply includes a first IP address.

    摘要: Apparatuses, methods, and systems are disclosed for extended paging messages. One User Equipment (“UE”) apparatus in a mobile communication network includes a processor and a transceiver that sends a message to a network node, with the message indicating that the UE apparatus supports paging extensions. The transceiver receives a confirmation message from the network node, with the confirmation message notifying the UE apparatus to expect paging extensions. The transceiver receives paging Downlink Control Information (“DCI”) with a cyclic redundancy check (“CRC”) scrambled by a Paging Radio Network Temporary Identifier (“P-RNTI”), where the paging DCI schedules a Physical Downlink Shared Channel (“PDSCH”) transmission. The transceiver receives a paging message in the PDSCH transmission. The processor identifies a paging extension for the UE in the paging DCI and/or the paging message.
