    摘要: A radio network node (12) in a radio access network (RAN1) and a method therein for Paging Policy Differentiation (PPD). The radio network node receives from a core network (CN1) a Downlink (DL) Protocol Data Unit (PDU) associated with a wireless device (10). The DL PDU is comprised in a Quality of Service (QoS)-flow, is originated from a respective service and comprises a Paging Policy Indicator (PPI) associated with the respective service. The radio network node extracts the PPI by means of a Central Unit User Plane (CU-UP) (12b). By means of the CU-UP (12b), the radio network node informs a Central Unit Control Plane (CU-CP) (12a) about the PPI. Further, by means of the CU-CP, the radio network node triggers paging of the wireless device. Furthermore, the radio network node pages the wireless device (10) according to the PPI associated with the respective service.

    摘要: According to some embodiments, a method performed by a network node of incrementally obtaining wireless device capability information comprises: receiving a context setup request for a wireless device from an access and mobility management function (AMF); determining the context setup request does not include device capability information relevant to the network node; transmitting a device capability enquiry to the wireless device; receiving a user UE-ModelId from the wireless device; determining the network node does not have stored device capability information associated with the UE-ModelId; transmitting a device capability enquiry that include a capability filter to the wireless device; receiving a subset of device capabilities identified by the first capability filter from the wireless device; and updating stored device capability information associated with the UE-ModelId with the subset of device capabilities.

    摘要: A wireless device (10) is configured to map a first type of identity (ID1) usable in a first type of wireless communication network (20) to a second type of identity (ID2) usable in a second type of wireless communication network (30). The second type of identity (ID2) may be mappable from any one of multiple different possible types of identities usable in different respective types of wireless communication networks, including the first type of identity (ID1). The wireless device (10) is also configured to transmit to a base station (36) signaling (60) that includes the second type of identity (ID2) and that indicates a type of identity, from among the multiple different possible types of identities, from which the second type of identity (ID2) is mapped by indicating that the second type of identity (ID2) is mapped from the first type of identity (ID1).

    摘要: A method, performed by a RAN node, for enabling connection setup for a wireless device in a communication network comprising a first network which is a home network of the wireless device and a second network which is visited by the wireless device. The networks each comprise partitioned sets of functionalities, which sets of functionalities each belong to a network slice of the network, wherein a first set of functionalities in the first network belongs to a first network slice supporting the wireless device. The RAN node receives a first network identity for the home network, an identity of the first network slice supporting the wireless device in the home network and a second network identity for the second network, from the wireless device, to retrieve an identity of a second network slice capable of supporting the wireless device in the second network to determine a second core network node.

    摘要: Methods, a core network node (104A) and a node (102A) in a radio access network, RAN, (102), for enabling emergency services for wireless devices in the RAN. The core network node (104A) sends (2:1), to the RAN node (102A), information about one or more Access and Mobility Management Functions, AMFs, that support emergency services, to avoid an emergency fallback procedure for wireless devices in the RAN. The RAN node (102A) then selects (2:2) an AMF (104B) that supports emergency services for a wireless device (100) in the RAN, based on the received information. Thereby, the wireless device will have immediate access to emergency services and no delaying emergency fallback procedure is performed which could be critical in an emergency situation.
