Abstract: A method is provided to anonymize the media access control (MAC) address of a client device. The method involves generating a plurality of media access control (MAC) addresses for use by a client device in a network. Policies are defined that determine which one of the plurality of MAC addresses is to be used by the client device. The plurality of MAC addresses allocated for use by the client device are registered with a management entity in the network.

Abstract: A method is performed at a server that manages embedded subscriber identity module (eSIM) profiles. The method includes, when a user equipment that belongs to a global enterprise network relocates from a first locale to a second locale in which a first private network and a second private network of the global enterprise network are located, wherein the user equipment includes a locale-specific first eSIM profile that includes a first non-public network identifier of the first private network, receiving, from the user equipment over a network in the second locale, information that indicates the user equipment is in the second locale. The method further includes identifying the second private network based on the information, and generating a locale-specific second eSIM profile that includes a second non-public network identifier for the second private network. The method includes configuring the user equipment with the locale-specific second eSIM profile.

Abstract: A first access and mobility management function (AMF) in a network receives, from user equipment (UE), a registration request listing a first network slice and a second network slice. Upon determining that the first AMF supports the first, but not the second, network slice, the first AMF causes selection of (i) the first AMF as a session and mobility management (SM)-AMF to perform mobility management, and first session management signaling for the first network slice; and (ii) a second AMF as a session management only (SO)-AMF to perform only second session management signaling for the second network slice. The first AMF, acting as SM-AMF, performs the first session management signaling for a first data session on the first network slice, while the second AMF, acting as SO-AMF, performs only the second session management signaling for a second data session on the second network slice.

Abstract: Techniques are described to provide for authentication and subscription management that are decoupled from a Home Subscriber Server (HSS). In one example, a method includes providing a device profile at an authentication function, wherein the device profile comprises identification information for a device for a plurality of access types including a first identifier for the device associated with a cellular access and a second identifier for the device associated with a wireless local area network access; obtaining an access request message associated with the device for the cellular access, wherein the access request message comprises the first identifier and an authentication attribute; generating authentication information for authenticating the device for the cellular access based, at least in part, on the authentication attribute; and generating, for transmission, an access accept message for the cellular access, wherein the access accept message comprises the first identifier, the second identifier, and the authentication information.

Abstract: Presented herein are techniques to facilitate dual-connectivity support for a user equipment (UE) in a hybrid cell virtualized Radio Access Network (vRAN) architecture. In one example, a method may include obtaining, by a node of a mobile network via a first cell of a RAN, a request for a UE to connect to the mobile network via the first cell in which the RAN includes at least one shared cell and at least one unique cell; determining that the UE is allowed for dual-connectivity operation; and providing a policy to the UE, wherein the policy identifies, for each of one or more applications, one of a shared cell operating mode or a unique cell operating mode that the UE is to utilize for each of the one or more applications.

Abstract: Presented herein are techniques to facilitate the configuration of hybrid cells to support shared cell and unique cell operating modes for user equipment. In one example, a method may include obtaining a registration request for a user equipment (UE) in which the mobile network includes a radio access network (RAN) comprising a plurality of radio units (RUs) in which each RU provides a shared cell that is shared with at least one other RU and each RU also provides a unique cell that is not shared with any other RU. The method may further include determining an operating mode for the UE in which the operating mode indicates whether the UE is to operate in a shared cell or a unique cell operating mode, and facilitating connection of the UE to one of the shared cell or the unique cell of an RU based on the operating mode.

Abstract: A user device operates a first data session using a first network slice. The user device obtains a trigger notification from a remote application that identifies a second network slice, and the user device determines that the first network slice and the second network slice are mutually exclusive. The user device ends the first data session on the first network slice and initiates a second data session on the second network slice.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for downlink packet replication to support handovers. In one example, downlink packet replication occurs on a fabric node in an S1AP handover scenario. In another example, downlink packet replication occurs on a source Access Point (AP) using a target AP as a secondary AP in an S1AP handover scenario. In yet another example, downlink packet replication occurs on a source AP using packet encapsulation in an S1AP handover scenario. In still another example, downlink packet replication occurs on a source AP in an X2 handover scenario. Similar techniques are provided for any suitable telecommunications/cellular technology.

Abstract: A network management center includes a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server. The network management center obtains from an identity server, client information indicating authentication of a client device in a wireless network that is connected to a network fabric. The network management center obtains from an edge node in the network fabric an Internet Protocol (IP) address request for the client device. The IP address request including a fabric domain identifier associated with the edge node. The network management center allocates an IP address for the client device based on the client information obtained from the identity server and the fabric domain identifier contained in the IP address request obtained from the edge node. The network management center provides to the edge node an Identifier Locator Addressing (ILA) address based on the IP address.

Abstract: A control plane (CP) entity is to adaptively reroute user plane traffic of a mobile node (MN) with use of a segment routing (SR) for IPv6. A message indicating an attachment of the MN to the mobile network is received selecting a first user plane (UP) anchor node. A first set of home network prefixes (HNPs) are allocated to the MN. An IP traffic flow using a first HNP prefix is established between the MN and a correspondent node (CN) along a first network path—defined at least in part by the first UP anchor node and an anchor node of the CN. In response to a handover of the MN, a message indicating a subsequent attachment of the MN is received selecting a second UP anchor node. The second UP anchor node is instructed to host the first HNP prefix previously allocated by the first UP anchor node.
