    Abstract: A system and method for saving mobile battery and empowering user equipment for controlling incoming communication and paging are provided. Also provided are a system and method for determining whether a mobile a device is in an idle mode, and in response to receiving an incoming communication from a service, determining whether the service associated with the incoming communication is on a reject list of services or a preferred list of services. The system performs a first action specified by a determination that the service is on the reject list of services or the service is not on the preferred list of services, and performs a second action specified by a determination that the service is on the preferred list of services. The first action differs from the second action.

    Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for handover optimization using time sensitive communication assistance information. The method may include, receiving, from a network element, a handover request message or a context message. At least one of the handover request message or the context message may include time sensitive communication assistance information. The method may also include at least one of performing an admission control procedure based on the time sensitive communication assistance information, and scheduling data transmission with a user equipment based on the time sensitive communication assistance information.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus may include receiving, by a radio access network (RAN), at least one burst arrival time (BAT) parameter from at least one session management function (SMF). The method may further include determining, by the RAN, if at least one actual BAT is offset from the at least one received BAT parameter by at least one threshold. The method may further include setting, by the RAN, at least one BAT correction parameter based upon at least one offset time. The method may further include calculating, by the RAN, at least one new BAT parameter according to the one BAT correction parameter. The method may further include adjusting, by the RAN, at least one burst schedule based upon one or more of the at least one BAT correction parameter or the at least one new BAT parameter.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, are provided for supporting network functions. In some example embodiments, there may be provided a method that includes selecting, by a network node, a network function instance and/or a group of network function instances, the selecting based on information indicating membership of the network function instance in the group of network functions instances and the information including session information for a request associated with a session of a user equipment, the session information indicating whether the network function instance and/or the group of network function instances is assigned to the user equipment; and forwarding, by the network node, the request to the selected network function instance and/or the selected group. Related systems, methods, and articles of manufacture are also described.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide methods, apparatus and computer program products for providing broadcast/multicast services. A method at least partially implemented at an application server comprises transmitting a resource request message to a first broadcast/multicast control node (BM-CN), requesting an allocation of broadcast resource for delivering a multimedia broadcast/multicast service (MBMS) user service; transmitting a further resource request message to a second BM-CN, requesting a further allocation of broadcast resource for delivering the MBMS user service; receiving a first response message from the first BM-CN and a second response message from the second BM-CN, the first response message indicating a first broadcast resource allocated by the first BM-CN for the MBMS user service, and the second response message indicating a second broadcast resource allocated by the second BM-CN for the MBMS user service; and indicating information about the second broadcast resource to the first BM-CN and/or indicating information about the first broadcast resource to the second BM-CN. Methods at the BM-CN and a RAN network node, and corresponding apparatus are also provided.
