Abstract:
A core network node includes a transmitter configured to transmit a control plane data back-off timer to restrict a request from a UE for data transmission via Control Plane CIoT EPS Optimization. A UE includes a receiver configured to receive a control plane data back-off timer from a core network node, and a controller configured to not initiate data transmission via Control Plane CIoT EPS Optimization while the control plane data back-off timer is running.
Abstract:
A communication system is disclosed in which a control node generates configuration data for each of a plurality of MMEs operating in overlay networks. The configuration data defines a type of user equipment (UE) or a type of UE traffic to be serviced by each MME. The MME configuration data is provided to a base station and used to control selection of an MME to service a request from a UE. The control node monitors network traffic within and across the overlay networks and can reconfigure one or more MMEs to service different UE traffic types. This allows for improved flexibility in load balancing with overlay networks
Abstract:
A wireless terminal can communicate with two radio access networks (RAN) (304, 306) of different types. The wireless terminal can register simultaneously with a RAN of the first type and a RAN of the second type and can wirelessly connect to a RAN of either the first type or the second type in a connected state. The wireless terminal when registered with both a first RAN and a second RAN and when wirelessly connected to the first RAN in the connected state, receives a mobility signal via the first RAN indicating a RAN of the second type and, in response to receiving the mobility signal and in response to being so registered with the first RAN and second RAN, transmits an access trigger signal (417). The access trigger signal indicates that the wireless terminal is to be connected to the second RAN in the connected state.

Abstract:
There is provided a mobile radio communications device arranged to operate a DRX power saving procedure, the DRX procedure being defined by a schedule of planned DRX activity, and arranged to receive the signalling from a network device sent according to the schedule of planned DRX activity, and also to a mobile radio communications network device arranged for signalling to a mobile radio communications device operating a DRX power saving procedure, and arranged so as to control the said signalling according to a schedule of planned DRX activity within the mobile radio communications device, the devices forming part of a wireless communication system employing a DRX procedure.
Abstract:
The method includes sending a registration request message. The registration request message includes first 5G Globally Unique Temporary Identifier (5G-GUTI), a first Non-Access-Stratum (NAS) container, second 5G-GUTI, and a second NAS container. The first NAS container includes a first integrity protected registration request message. The first integrity protected registration request message is the registration request message which is integrity protected based on a first NAS security context. The second NAS container includes a second integrity protected registration request message. The second integrity protected registration request message is the registration request message which is integrity protected based on a second NAS security context.
Abstract:
This disclosure proposes solutions for providing an optimized User plane handling in 5GS. A method of a communication apparatus includes executing a function of a gNB Centralized Unit User Plane (gNB-CU-UP) apparatus and function of a User Plain Function (UPF) apparatus, communicating with a gNB Distributed Unit (gNB-DU) apparatus, and communicating with a gNB Centralized Unit-Control Plane (gNB-CU-CP) apparatus.
Abstract:
The present disclosure proposes solutions for monitoring, controlling and enforcement the number of the UEs per Network Slice quota in roaming. It proposes new Network Slice Quota (NSQ) service and service operations for Network Slice quota subscription, monitoring, update and notification in both, the home network and in the visiting network.
Abstract:
A NWDAF node according to the present disclosure comprises means for receiving, from a network function node, a request for detecting a new application, including an indication having a value “new application analysis”, information for a UE, start and end time for detection and PFD information; means for subscribing, to a SMF node, data collection related to the new application; means for receiving, from a UPF node via the SMF node, the data related to the new application, including DNN, S-NSSAI, and 3-tuple(s); and means for notifying the network function node of an analytic result including the DNN, the S-NSSAI, the 3-tuple(s) to be added to the PFD information, parts of the URL to be matched, a Domain name matching criteria and information about applicable protocol(s), wherein the 3-tuple(s) includes a server side IP address and port number.
Abstract:
[Problem] This disclosure proposes solutions for some situations in the 3GPP nodes or some situations in the connection between the 3GPP nodes during the Network Slice Admission Control (NSAC) procedure. [Solution] An Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF) device for communicating with a User equipment (UE) and a Network Slice Admission Control Function (NSACF) device includes a receiver and a transmitter. The receiver is configured to receive, from the UE, a Registration Request message including first information indicating whether the UE supports a first function and requested Network Slice Selection Assistance Information (NSSAI). The transmitter is configured to transmit, to the UE, a Non-Access Stratum (NAS) message including a rejected NSSAI including a first cause value and a back-off timer value if the UE supports the first function. The transmitter is configured to transmit, to the UE, the NAS message including a rejected NSSAI including a second cause value if the UE does not support the first function.
