Abstract: Various embodiments are generally directed to network slice selector (NSS). In one embodiment, for example, an evolved node B (cNB) may include a processor circuit, and an NSS for execution by the processor circuit to allocate a network slice (NS) to a user equipment (UE). The NS may comprise one or more virtual network function(s) (VNF). In one implementation, a VNF takes on the responsibility of handing specific network functions run on one or more virtual machines (VM) associated with hardware networking infrastructures, such as routers, switches, etc. Individual VNFs may be combined or connected together to provide a complete networking communication service for UEs. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Abstract: In one embodiment, an apparatus of a User Equipment (UE) device includes memory storing non-public network (NPN) configuration information, a radio frequency (RF) interface, and processing circuitry coupled to the memory and the RF interface. The RF interface receives information broadcast by a radio access network (RAN) node of the particular NPN, where the information includes a NPN indicator indicating that the RAN node supports a NPN and NPN service information indicating services supported by the particular NPN. The processing circuitry establishes, in response to detecting the NPN indicator in the information received from the RAN node, a connection to the particular NPN based on the NPN configuration information and the NPN service information received from the RAN node.

Abstract: This disclosure describes methods, systems, and devices for mobile terminated (MT) early data transmission (EDT). In one example, a method involves receiving, by a node of the RAN, an MT EDT indication and information indicative of downlink data for transmission to a user equipment (UE) served by the RAN. The method further involves based on the information indicative of the downlink data, determining to initiate MT EDT to transmit the downlink data to the UE. The method also involves generating a Radio Resource Control (RRC) paging message comprising: (i) the MT EDT indication, (ii) an indication of a contention free (CF) physical random access channel (PRACH) resource, and (iii) an indication of an EDT-radio network temporary identifier (EDT-RNTI). Further, the method involves transmitting the RRC paging message to the UE.

Abstract: Methods of operating an information centric network (ICN) control function (CF). At least one of the methods includes: processing an ICN create-service request received from an Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF); allocating one or more ICN point of attachments (ICN-PoAs) based on the ICN create-service request; and forwarding the ICN create-service request to at least one of the allocated one or more ICN-PoAs.

Abstract: Diameter based interfaces are configured to enable restriction of a coverage enhancement feature or mode. A service capability exposure function (SCEF) communicates through a Diameter based interface (e.g., S6t interface) with an HSS to control whether a user equipment (UE) is restricted from operation in an enhanced coverage mode. The SCEF may process an enhanced coverage request. In response, the SCEF generates a configuration information request (CIR) for a home subscriber server (HSS). The CIR may include an AVP to query enhanced coverage restrictions for the UE. The SCEF may also process a configuration information answer (CIA) from the HSS. The CIA may include an enhanced-coverage-restriction-data AVP indicating current settings of the enhanced coverage restrictions for the UE.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein relate generally to techniques for paging in a wireless network. In some embodiments, a mobility management entity (MME) may determine a user equipment (UE) is associated with a predetermined category and adjust paging mechanisms based on said determination. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.

Abstract: An apparatus of a user equipment (UE) comprises one or more baseband processors to encode a unique UE identifier to be transmitted to an Access and Mobility Function (AMF) of a Fifth Generation (5G) network, wherein the unique identifier identifies UE capabilities to be stored in a UE capabilities database. An apparatus of Access and Mobility Function (AMF) of a Fifth Generation (5G) network comprises one or more processors to receive a user equipment (UE) Capabilities update from a remote server to update a UE capability database that stores UE capability information corresponding to one or more UEs identified with a unique identifier, and to process the UE Capabilities update via one or more Application Programming Interfaces (APIs).
