Abstract: An approach to provide dynamic adjustment in order to meet the limitation of data rate per network slice in the uplink and downlink wireless connections in a wireless network. The approach uses a network slice quota (NSQ) management function, which keeps track of aggregated maximum bit rates (AMBR) for a slice. Upon reaching a limit, the NSQ functionality dynamically adjusts the user equipment (UE) data rates, reduces the quality of service (QoS), and/or rejects any protocol data unit (PDU) request. Several techniques are described that meet these objectives. In one technique, when the limit is reached, the session AMBR per subscription level is adjusted in proportionate ratio of the maximum bit rate per subscription level per UE. In another technique, when the limit is reached, there is a proportionate equivalent increment and decrement of session AMBR based on usage patterns of the subscription levels. In a further technique, when the limit is reached, there is a proportionate equivalent increment and decrement of slice resources based on usage patterns. In yet another technique, a quota update is attempted using the Unified Data Repository (UDR).

Abstract: Embodiments described herein relate to wireless communications, including methods and apparatus for dynamically selecting subscriber identity module (SIM) profiles, electronic SIM (eSIM) profiles, multi-SIM operating modes, and/or wireless access networks for network slice based applications of wireless devices. A wireless device can include at least two SIM/eSIM profiles and switch use of SIM/eSIM profiles, change between dual SIM operating modes, and/or select a registration mode based on requirements of one or more applications in use and availability of network slices via different wireless networks.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) that is registered to a stand-alone non-public network (SNPN) can also access services on a public land mobile network (PLMN). The UE accesses the PLMN by transmitting a first signal to a data network, receiving a second signal from the data network in response to the first signal, wherein the second signal identifies a PLMN that is configured to be accessed by the UE via the data network and transmitting a session initiation protocol (SIP) registration request to the PLMN via the data network.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems, methods, integrated circuits and computer readable storage media for configuring time sensitive communications (TSC). The configuring of the TSC includes monitoring, by a user plane function (UPF), a source and destination of packets in a first protocol data unit (PDU) session of a first user equipment (UE) and in a second PDU session of a second UE, pairing a first device side TSN translator (DS-TT) port of the first UE with a second DS-TT port of the second UE when the first PDU session and the second PDU session are served by the same UPF, wherein the pairing is based on the monitoring of the first and second PDU sessions and when the first DS-TT and second DS-TT ports are paired, communicating the packets between the first UE and the second UE in a UE-UE communication without traversing the TSN.

Abstract: A cellular network includes a first network component configured to i) identify a first session between a first data network and a user equipment (UE), wherein the first session corresponds to a first session management function (SMF), ii) receive data network access information (DNAI) from a network function, the DNAI corresponding to a second data network and iii) select a second SMF that is to be utilized for a second session between the second data network and the UE. The cellular network also includes a second network component configured to i) store a mapping between the DNAI and the second SMF and ii) transmit an indication of the second SMF to the first network component, wherein the first network component selects the second SMF based on the indication.

Abstract: Techniques for multi-universal subscriber identity module (MUSIM) operation include generating, by a terminal equipment (TE) of a device, an attention (AT) command. The AT command indicates a value of a parameter related to MUSIM operation of the device, such as whether to release a Non-Access Stratum (NAS) connection associated with a particular USIM of the device, whether to reject or restrict paging associated with the particular USIM of the device, or a requested (or selected) IMSI offset associated with the particular USIM of the device. The AT command is communicated from the TE to a mobile terminal (MT) of the device through a terminal adapter (TA).

Abstract: A network function is responsible for enforcing network slice quotas. The network function identifies a network slice quota for a single network slice selection assistance information (S-NSSAI), determines that the network slice quota for the S-NSSAI includes a first quota corresponding to fifth generation (5G) packet data unit (PDU) sessions and a second quota corresponding to interworking handovers between a fifth generation core (5GC and an evolved packet core (EPC), receives a request to update the network slice quota and updates the network slice quota for the S-NSSAI based on the request.

Abstract: A fifth-generation core network (5GC) provides 5G radio access network (RAN) services to a user equipment (UE) in a time-sensitive communications (TSC) network (TSN). This includes receiving a protocol data unit (PDU) session establishment request from the UE, the PDU session establishment request including an industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) vertical or application type, identifying a TSN application function (AF) relating to the IIoT vertical or application type, determining quality of service (QoS) parameters for communications between the UE and the 5G RAN based on the identified TSN AF, the QoS parameters including a survival time for the IIoT vertical or application type and establishing a PDU session with the UE when the QoS parameters including the survival time are satisfied.

Abstract: Embodiments of a Multicast Broadcast Service (MBS) for 5G New Radio (NR). In one aspect, a user equipment (UE) receives first data from a network via unicast, receives first information from the network, the first information indicating the availability of a multicast service, transmits second information to the network and receives second data from the network via multicast in response to transmitting the second information to the network. In another aspect, a UE receives first information from the network, the first information indicating the availability of a multicast service, receives first data from the network via a multicast session and receives second data from the network via a unicast packet data unit (PDU) session.
