    Abstract: Methods, systems, apparatuses, and computer program products are provided for discovery and/or access to localized services provided by a communication network. In this regard, based on a tracking area code associated with a local network configured to provide localized services, a registration update process, a handover, or a state transition is initiated with respect to user equipment that is served by a mobile network. Furthermore, network information for the local network during the registration update process, during the handover, or during the state transition of the user equipment is determined. Network information is also provided to the user equipment during the registration update process, during the handover, or during the state transition of the user equipment. Additionally, a connection between the user equipment and the local network is established based on the network information.

    Abstract: Various example embodiments described herein generally relate to apparatuses, methods and computer programs. For instance, an apparatus may include at least one processor and at least one memory including computer code, the at least one memory and the computer code configured, with the at least one processor, to cause the apparatus at least to receive, at a user plane function, a request to establish a session from a session management function, where the user plane function is part of a set of user plane functions. The at least one memory and the computer code may be further configured, with the at least one processor, to cause the apparatus at least to cause a response to be provided to the session management function, where the response includes information uniquely identifying the session in the set of user plane functions.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, are provided for services, such as SMS, location services, and/or the like over the NAS through a non-cellular access. In some example embodiments, there may be provided a method that includes receiving, via a non-access stratum connection through a wireless local area network, a notification message; sending a service request message to request, via the non-access stratum connection through the wireless local area network, delivery of downlink data for a service; and receiving, via the non-access stratum connection through the wireless local area network, the downlink data for the service. Related systems, methods, and articles of manufacture are also described.

    Abstract: Various communication systems may implement network management tools to help manage registration requests from a user equipment. For example, network functions in a communication system with a shared data layer may be used to manage requests from the user equipment. A method may include transmitting a request from a user equipment to a network function. The method may also include receiving at the user equipment a temporary identification from the network function The temporary identification comprises an identifier that helps locate a shared data layer function that stores context information for the user equipment. In addition, the method may include transmitting from the user equipment a subsequent request comprising the temporary identification to another network function or the network function.

    Abstract: According to certain embodiments, a method and apparatus may include performing, by a first network entity, at least one benchmarking procedure of at least one network hop delay per at least one transmit resource towards at least one peer network node identified by at least one internet protocol destination address. The method and apparatus may further include deriving, by the first network entity, a second table, by, for each peer node associated with an internet protocol destination address, determining at least one existing configured mapping of at least one network instance into a transport resource Ti per internet protocol destination address. The method and apparatus may further include updating, by the first network entity, the first table and the second table for each internet protocol destination address and transmitting the updated second table to the second network entity.

    Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, and computer program products are disclosed for implementing recovery from a communication failure. A method includes receiving, by a first user equipment, an indication that a second user equipment has experienced a failure, where the first user equipment and the second user equipment are part of a same device, and where the first user equipment is configured with a first primary reliability group and where the second user equipment is configured with a second primary reliability group; based upon the indication, the first user equipment transmitting to a network equipment a first signal to activate a secondary reliability group for the first user equipment; and receiving, by the first user equipment, a second signal to use the secondary reliability group, where the second signal is at least partially based upon the first signal transmitted from the first user equipment.
