Abstract: Aspects of the disclosed technology provide ways to report User Equipment (UE) device locations in a 5G network for the purpose of redirecting application traffic from proximately located Data Networks (DNs). In one aspect, the disclosed technology encompasses a process for conveying User Equipment (UE) information to an Application Function (AF), the process includes steps for receiving, at an intermediate-User Plane Function (I-UPF) entity, User Equipment (UE) uplink data from a Radio Access Network (RAN), determining if sharing of location information or application information associated with the UE is restricted, and encapsulating first location metadata or application metadata in an SRv6 packet if the sharing of location information or application information is not restricted. Systems and machine-readable media are also provided.

Abstract: Various implementations disclosed herein enable programming user plane gateway controllers over enhanced N9 interfaces. In various implementations, a method of gateway controlling is performed by a computing device including one or more processors, and a non-transitory memory. In various implementations the method includes determining, by a first packet gateway controller connected to a first session manager device, that a user equipment moved to a geographical area that is served by a second session manager device. In some implementations, the method includes receiving, by the first packet gateway device, a set of information for a second packet gateway device. In some implementations, the method includes transmitting, by the first packet gateway device, a session establishment request via a first network interface to the second packet gateway controller using segment routing via a second network interface.

Abstract: A network function (NF) entity in a communication network receives authentication data associated with a User Equipment (UE), determines the UE supports a blockchain registration procedure based on the authentication data, exchanges authentication messages with a Blockchain Roaming Broker (BRB) entity over a blockchain network interface, receives a blockchain authentication confirmation from the BRB entity, and registers the UE with the core network based on the blockchain authentication confirmation.

Abstract: A Network Function (NF) entity in a telecommunication network receives blockchain credentials associated with UE and selects a Blockchain Charging Function (BCF). The NF entity further generates a Charging Data Record (CDR) corresponding to network resources, and sends a charging request based on the CDR (and policy rules) to the BCF entity over a blockchain network interface. The BCF entity sends a confirmation of the charging request, and the NF entity, based on the confirmation, provisions the network resources to the UE.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method for improving content delivery for a user equipment (UE) is implemented on a computing device and includes: receiving a request from an application layer on the UE, determining whether said request is an ICN-based request using Information Centric Networking (ICN) transport protocol or an IP-based request using Internet Protocol (IP) transport protocol, and for each ICN-based request according to the determining: forwarding the ICN-based request to an ICN function on the UE, and compressing ICN headers in the ICN-based request using robust header (RoHC) compression.
