Abstract:
The present disclosure describes techniques for utilizing paging cause values for paging user equipment (UE). The Paging Cause may be used for the UE in an CM_IDLE state or when the UE is in an RRC_INACTIVE state. A paging cause information element is included in a paging message, and includes a paging cause value. The paging cause value indicates a type of traffic that has initiated a paging operation. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
Abstract:
Systems and methods provide for controlling the derivation of QoS rules in the UE by flexibly defining the scope of packet header fields over which packet filter derivation is performed. The scope of packet header fields for derivation of QoS rules may be provided by the network to the UE upon PDU Session establishment or modification. For PDU Session of IP type, the network indicates to the UE whether the scope of RQoS includes both the Source/Destination IP address pair and the Source/Destination Port numbers, or only the former. For PDU Session of Ethernet type, the network indicates to the UE whether the scope of RQoS includes both the Source/Destination MAC address pair and the IEEE 802.1Q tag, or only the former. The UE may indicate to the network whether it supports the flexible scope of packet filters for RQoS for a PDU session.
Abstract:
Various embodiments herein provide techniques for discovery and handling of regulatory requirements for non-3GPP inter-working function (N3IWF) selection, e.g., to access a standalone non-public network (SNPN). In embodiments, a user equipment (UE) may determine the local requirement in a country using a domain name system (DNS) query with a fully qualified domain name (FQDN) associated with the N3IWF. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.

Abstract:
A system to support time sensitive networking (TSN) in a 5G system is described. The TSN application function (AF) sends to a device-side translator a Port Management Information Container (PMIC) and port number that has a Stream Identification type value and Stream Identification controlling parameters that depend on the Stream Identification type value for per-stream policing and filtering in a distributed bridge. During establishment of the bridge, the network-side translator port numbers are provided to the TSN AF in a Bridge Management Information Container (BMIC). Any PDU session of the bridge is able to be selected for Ethernet port and Bridge management procedures between the network-side translator and the TSN AF.
Abstract:
Embodiments herein provide techniques related to a NEF. An example technique includes identifying, from an AF that implements a ML model, a request related to reservation of resources for a plurality of AF sessions, wherein the plurality of AF sessions relate to respective UEs of a plurality of UEs, and wherein the request includes an indication of addresses of respective UEs of the plurality of UEs and a QoS parameter; transmitting, to a BSF of the cellular network, a discovery request related to discovery of respective PCFs that are serving the respective UEs of the plurality of UEs; identifying, based on the discovery request, a discovery response that includes indications of the PCFs; identifying, based on the indications of the PCFs and the QoS parameter, a result related to the reservation of resources; and transmitting, to the AF, an indication of the result. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

Abstract:
Systems, apparatuses, methods, and computer-readable media are provided for indicating local area data network (LADN) data network names (DNNs). In embodiments, a user equipment (UE) provides a list of configured LADN DNNs in a registration request message during a registration procedure. An Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF) determines LADN information for the UE by looking into configured LADN DNNs in the AMF and/or retrieved LADN authorization/subscription information. The LADN information includes a list of LADN DNNs and corresponding LADN service area(s) that the UE can use, including LADN DNNs that the UE can use in a current registration area. The AMF sends the LADN information to the UE in a registration accept message. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
Abstract:
Embodiments for providing network-assisted to direct device discovery switch are generally described herein. In some embodiments, location information is received at an evolved packet core (EPC) from at least a first and a second user equipment (UE). A network-assisted device-to-device (D2D) request is received from the first UE for establishing a D2D wireless connection with the second UE. Proximity of the first UE and the second UE are monitored. Before detecting the second UE being in proximity to the first UE, direct discovery is determined to be more resource efficient than continuing to provide network-assisted D2D discovery. An indication is provided to the first UE and the second UE to perform direct discovery based on information provided in the indication.
Abstract:
A method and system for establishing a secure device-to-device connection between two mobile devices involves the use of a WiFi Direct (LTE Direct or other similar protocols) link paired with an IP Multimedia Subsystems (IMS) link. A device detects the presence of another device that it wishes to connect to. The devices negotiate a group owner, then authenticate each other using a variety of techniques, such as a centrally issued certificate. Thereafter, the devices derive keys to be used for communication, both over the WiFi Direct link and via the IMS link. A WiFi Direct Link may be paired with a Push to Talk over Cellular (PoC) link in order to couple together more than two devices. In such a connection, devices transmit to a group owner, which then sends multicast versions to the rest of the group devices.
