Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for initiating or providing application specific protocol data unit (PDU) sessions are provided. One method may include receiving, from an application server or application function having a co-located or integrated micro-user plane function (UPF), a request to use the micro-user plane function (UPF) for an application. The method may include, based on information included in the request, determining an application specific data network name (AS-DNN) and provisioning a session management node with the micro-user plane function (UPF) information associated with the application specific data network name (AS-DNN).

Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for radio link capability exposure for ultra-reliable low-latency communications (URLLC) and time sensitive communications (TSC). A method may include receiving, from a core network element, configuration of a reliability threshold for sending a failure report and/or a radio link capability report. The method may also include, when the reliability threshold is reached, sending a failure report to the core network element indicating that a required reliability cannot be fulfilled. The method may further include receiving instructions, from the core network element, to perform an action to address the unfulfilled reliability.

Abstract: A method may include establishing a second communication session at a second network with a user equipment that currently has a first communication session with a first network. The method may also include receiving a report from the user equipment including information related to measurement and reporting of the user equipment on the first network. The method may further include, based on the report, performing an adaptation of an operation and performance of the second communication session for the user equipment.

Abstract: There are provided measures for task responsibility coordination. Such measures exemplarily comprise recognizing addition of said network function entity to a network entity composition, acquiring task coordination responsibility information with respect to said network entity composition, analyzing said task coordination responsibility information, and initiating, if said task coordination responsibility information does not define a valid task coordination responsible for a specific task, addition of said network function entity as said task coordination responsible for said specific task.

Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, and computer program products are described that support transmission and receipt of onboarding support and/or authentication requirement information to a UE for registration with a network, such as a PLMN and/or SNPN, and/or network slice, via a RAN and/or the like. The onboarding support and/or authentication requirement information may be specifically configured for one or more networks, and/or network slices thereof, that utilize a shared RAN in communication with the UE. The UE selects a cell and network and/or network slice based on the onboarding support and/or authentication requirement information. The UE may camp on the shared RAN. The one or more networks comprise at least a RAN and respective AMF that provide the onboarding support and/or authentication requirement information to the UE before, or when, the UE contacts the AMF associated with the network and/or network slice.

Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for access traffic steering, switching, and splitting (ATSSS) with branching point (BP) on the path are provided. The method may include determining that an existing user plane function is sub-optimal in terms of routing and latency incurred with respect to traffic for a given packet data unit session of a user equipment. The method may also include establishing, based on the determination, a new user plane function for the packet data unit session. The method may further include establishing a branching point user plane function that interfaces with the existing user plane function, the new user plane function, and a plurality of network access types. In addition, the method may include updating the user equipment by providing the user equipment with relevant multi-access traffic steering rules.

Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for access traffic steering, switching, and splitting (ATSSS) with branching point (BP) or uplink classifier (ULCL) on the path. The method may include, setting up, in response to a request, a first user plane function with multi-access traffic steering functionality. The method may also include requesting a user equipment to establish a new multi-access packet data unit session to a same data network name and slice as an old multi-access packet data unit session, or request the user equipment to release the old multi-access packet data unit session with a second user plane function and to initiate a multi-access packet data unit session re-establishment. The method may further include sending, to the user equipment, multi-access rules for the new multi-access packet data unit session, a new internet protocol address, and new multipath transmission control protocol proxy information.
