    摘要: In one embodiment, a device associates available 5G functions stored by a network repository function with contextual information, wherein the contextual information maps each of the available 5G functions with a layer of a hierarchical security model for an industrial network. The device receives a request from a user equipment endpoint to communicate via the industrial network. The device selects a particular user plane function from among the available 5G functions for use by the user equipment endpoint based in part on the layer of the hierarchical security model associated with the particular user plane function. The device causes the user equipment endpoint to communicate via the industrial network using the particular user plane function.

    摘要: Disclosed are a system and a method for selecting an additional radio link from a second access point after a connection with a first access point has been established. The first and second access points cooperate with each other by sharing information about performance and available resources. They communicate this information to a multi-link non-AP MLD device requesting the additional radio link so that the non-AP MLD can make a selection that matches the needs of its request. Information about performance includes throughput, a delay between access points, and a delay between access points and a gateway connected to the access points.

    摘要: Techniques for trusted roaming between identity federation based networks. A first wireless access point (AP) receives a roaming request from a wireless station (STA), to roam from the first AP to a second AP. The first AP is associated with a first access network provider (ANP), the second AP is associated with a second ANP, and the first ANP is different from the second ANP. Authentication information relating to the STA is transmitted from the first ANP to the second ANP using a trusted connection. The trusted connection was previously established between the first ANP and the second ANP based on a query to an identity federation to which both the first and second ANP belong. The STA is de-associated from the first AP. The STA is re-associated at the second AP using the transmitted authentication information.

    摘要: Federation policy exchange is provided in response to receiving a sharing query from an Access Point (AP) indicating that an associated wireless network supports federated identities with data sharing, determining whether the sharing query is within sharing preferences; and in response to determining that the sharing query is within the sharing preferences, transmitting, to the AP, a positive response for identity sharing that authorizes collection and sharing of identity data with at least one entity identified in a sharing policy for the associated wireless network. In various embodiments, federation policy exchange includes transmitting a support notification, via an AP, indicating support for federated identities with data sharing within a wireless network associated with the AP; and in response to receiving a first identify sharing preference from a User Equipment (UE) that indicates that negotiation is preferred, transmitting a sharing policy for the wireless network to the UE.

    摘要: A method includes linking, at an access node, a first media control access (MAC) address of a device to an identifier of the device to establish a communication session between the access node and the device and during the communication session, receiving, at the access node, an indication of a change of the first MAC address to a second MAC address. The method also includes linking, at the access node, the second MAC address to the first MAC address and the identifier and receiving, at the access node, a communication from the device using the second MAC address while maintaining the communication session.

    摘要: Coordinated radio fine time measurement is provided via sending, from a client device, a ranging request to a first radio; receiving a first response sent at a first time from the first radio over a first channel; receiving a second response sent at the first time from a second radio over a second channel; and calculating, based on times of flight for the first response and the second response, a location of the client device relative to the first radio and to the second radio. Coordinated radio fine time measurement is also proved via in response to receiving, at an Access Point (AP), a ranging request from a client device and determining to respond using multiple channels: sending, both at a first time, a first response from a first radio over a first channel a second response from a second radio over a different channel.
