Abstract:
Disclosed is a session management method based on protocol data unit (PDU) session anchor (PSA) relocation, and a device performing the session management method. The session management method may include determining to perform PSA relocation, establishing a new PSA device through the PSA relocation, and releasing an existing PSA device, in which the PSA relocation may allow traffic moving towards the existing PSA device to move to the new PSA device.
Abstract:
A network device divided into a training plane and a control plane, model management server that controls a network device, and processing methods of a network device and model management server are disclosed. A processing method may include receiving a machine learning model from a model management server, obtaining network data to generate analytics information, generating analytics information by inputting the network data to a machine learning model, feeding back the analytics information to the model management server, and generating a control command of the network device using the analytics information, wherein the analytics information is generated by a training plane function and the control command is generated by a control plane function.
Abstract:
Provided is a communication method and apparatus based on access network paging and core network paging. A communication method performed by an anchor radio access network (RAN) receives a signaling message or a data packet for a user equipment (UE) from a core network, triggers paging for the UE, and transmits a paging request to the core network in response to a failure of the paging. The core network is configured to transmit a core network (CN) assisted paging request message to a new RAN within a determined target paging area in response to the paging request, and the new RAN is configured to perform the paging for the UE based on the CN assisted paging request message.
Abstract:
Provided is a constrained application protocol (CoAP) communication method and a system for performing the method, wherein the method includes receiving a POST message for a registration request, verifying whether the registration request is valid in response to the POST message, extracting a unit identifier (ID) of at least one resource associated with a node from a message payload of the POST message, and returning a response message.
Abstract:
A method of supporting reinforcement learning (RL) in a mobile communication system and devices for performing the same are disclosed. The method of supporting RL in a mobile communication system includes receiving a subscription request to train an RL model from a consumer network function (NF), training the RL model by collecting data in response to the subscription request, and when training of the RL model is completed based on a training completion condition, transmitting a notification including RL model information to the consumer NF.
Abstract:
A method and an apparatus for supporting service continuity between a first network and a second network are provided, which include: requesting slice analytics for selection of a slice from an NWDAF of the first network before a terminal moves from the first network to the second network; and selecting a slice to be used in the second network to provide a service to the terminal based on the slice analytics received from the NWDAF of the first network.
Abstract:
A network data collection method from network function device for network data analytic function is disclosed. The network data collection method includes transmitting a Nnf_EventExposure_Subscribe message to subscribe for an event into the NF device; and receiving a Nnf_EventExposure_Notify message from the NF device, wherein, when a subscription for the event is already defined in the NF device, the subscription is updated or modified.
Abstract:
Provided is a communication method and apparatus using network slicing. A communication method of a communication apparatus performing communication with a user equipment receives a predetermined request from the user equipment, selects a single network slice instance to be allocated to the user equipment from among a plurality of network slice instances in the communication apparatus in response to the request, selects a single network function instance to be allocated to the user equipment from among a plurality of network function instances included in the selected network slice instance. The network slice instance is in an instantiated form of a network slice that includes at least one network function and resource for providing a network service having a predetermined capability and characteristic to the user equipment.
Abstract:
Disclosed are a method of supporting terminal group-based services and devices for performing the same. The method of supporting terminal group-based services according to an embodiment may include receiving a multi-member application function (AF) session request with required quality of service (QoS) for a list of user equipments (UEs), converting the multi-member AF session request into an AF session request with required QoS for a serving policy control function (PCF) of each UE, and interacting with the serving PCF of each UE for each AF session, wherein the list of UEs may be identified by UE Internet Protocol (IP) addresses.
Abstract:
A method and an apparatus for selecting UE through steps of requesting analytics for selecting the UE to participate in an AI/ML operation from an NWDAF in a core network and selecting the UE based on the analytics.
