    Abstract: An edge computing component is configured to receive application specific user information for a first application client (AC) user from a first user equipment (UE) with a first AC, receive application specific user information for a second AC user from a second UE with a second AC, identify a condition related to a location of the first AC relative to one or more service areas related to edge computing and transmit a notification to the second UE, the notification indicating a presence of the first AC user relative to the one or more service areas.

    Abstract: Embodiments are disclosed for application function (AF) initiated multicast session join procedures for multicast broadcast services (MBS), where a user equipment (UE) initiates the session leaving procedure. An AF server can receive a request from the UE to fetch content, and determine that the content is provided by the AF server via a multicast session of a MBS. The AF server can transmit another request to a core network (e.g., a next generation core network) to enable the UE to join the multicast session of the MBS. If the UE does not already have a protocol data unit (PDU) session to a Data Network Name/Single Network Slice Selection Assistance Information (DNN/S-NSSAI) providing the multicast session of the MBS, the AF server can invoke application triggering and/or application level redirection to enable the UE to access an AF instance on the DNN/S-NSSAI providing the multicast session of the MBS.

    Abstract: A network may provision a user equipment (UE) with charging rules for the UE to host sidelink (SL) communications with other UEs. An application server may receive information indicating a group of user equipment (UE) has been formed, the group of UEs comprising a first UE connected to a radio access network (RAN) and at least one further UE connected via a sidelink (SL) to the first UE, select SL parameters including session management parameters and charging parameters for a SL session for the UE group and provision a policy control function (PCF) of a core network (CN) with the selected SL parameters.

    Abstract: A Internet of things (IoT) network (PIN) element is configured to receive, from a PIN element management capability (PEMC) device, an announcement comprising a PIN identifier, a list of services available via the PIN and a time limit for responding to the announcement, send, to the PEMC in response to the announcement, a PIN join request comprising one or more services provided by the PIN element and receive, from the PEMC in response to the PIN join request, a PIN join accept message comprising a PIN Element Identifier assigned to the PIN element.
