Abstract: A method for supporting end-to-end (e2e) Quality of Service (QoS) for uplink (UL) communication between a User Equipment (UE) and a network via a relay node, the method performed by the relay node, are provided. The method includes receiving, from the network, a downlink (DL) packet for the UE, wherein the DL packet includes a value of a first indicator of a QoS flow on a first link between the relay node and the network, and creating or updating a QoS rule, wherein the QoS rule is derived based on the value of the first indicator, and optionally wherein the created or updated QoS rule corresponds to the UE or to a QoS flow on a second link with the UE.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a fifth generation (5G) or sixth generation (6G) communication system for supporting a higher data transmission rate. A method performed by a User Equipment (UE) is provided. The method includes determining to include unavailability information in a deregistration request message, and transmitting, to a network entity, the deregistration request message, wherein the unavailability information is included in the deregistration request message as non-cleartext information, wherein the deregistration request message includes a non-access stratum (NAS) message container information element (IE), wherein the unavailability information is included in the NAS message container IE, and wherein at least a part of the NAS message container IE is ciphered by the UE.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a 5G or 6G communication system for supporting a higher data transmission rate. Specifically, the disclosure provides a method for managing a context associated with a UE during a discontinuous coverage scenario in a telecommunication network by a network apparatus. The method includes detecting a 5G mobile management (5GMM) signalling congestion to perform a NAS level congestion control. The method includes receiving unavailability information due to discontinuous coverage, when the UE is allowed to initiate a 5GMM procedure. Further, the method includes avoiding to reject a request for mobility registration update from the UE to manage a context associated with the UE during a discontinuous coverage scenario, when the network apparatus receives the unavailability information due to discontinuous coverage from the UE.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a 5G or 6G communication system for supporting a higher data transmission rate. Embodiments herein provide higher priority PLMN selection method during disaster situation in a wireless network (1000) by MS (100). In an embodiment, when MS (100) is registered for the disaster roaming service, the method includes selecting a higher priority PLMN in a priority order when the higher priority PLMN is available in the network and other non-forbidden PLMN when the higher priority PLMN is unavailable in the network, and registering the MS to receive the service in the network on one of the selected higher priority PLMN, and the selected other non-forbidden PLMN. In another embodiment, when the MS is not registered for the disaster roaming service, the method includes selecting a higher priority PLMN in a priority order when the higher priority PLMN is available in network, and registering the MS on the selected higher priority PLMN to receive the service in network.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a pre-5th-Generation (5G) or 5G communication system to be provided for supporting higher data rates Beyond 4th-Generation (4G) communication system such as Long Term Evolution (LTE). A method, for a user equipment (UE) is disclosed. The method comprises: transmitting, by the UE to a network entity, a registration request message including a registration type information element (IE) indicating a periodic registration updating or a mobility registration updating; receiving, by the UE from the network entity, a registration accept message including a pending network slice selection assistant information (NSSAI); and determining, by the UE, that a previously received allowed NSSAI as invalid based on the registration accept message.

One or more network entities, such as a network function, a user equipment of a 3GPP communication network which use one or more expected CP to UP switch parameters which are one or more new parameters to inform the network about a CP to UP switch. An expected CP to UP switch parameter may be used to inform the network about an expected time of the CP to UP switch. The one or more expected CP to UP switch parameters may be exposed. An AF may provide the one or more expected CP to UP switch parameters to the network. An AI/ML AF may provide the one or more expected CP to UP switch parameters as part of AI/ML assisted parameters.
