    摘要: Various communication systems may implement network management tools to help manage registration requests from a user equipment. For example, network functions in a communication system with a shared data layer may be used to manage requests from the user equipment. A method may include transmitting a request from a user equipment to a network function. The method may also include receiving at the user equipment a temporary identification from the network function The temporary identification comprises an identifier that helps locate a shared data layer function that stores context information for the user equipment. In addition, the method may include transmitting from the user equipment a subsequent request comprising the temporary identification to another network function or the network function.

    摘要: Techniques for controlling Multi-USIM behaviour of user equipment, UE, are provided. For example, a method (400) to be performed by an UE is provided. The method comprises: sending (410), to a network, an indication that the UE supports a multi universal subscriber identity module, USIM, mode; receiving (420), from the network, and indication that the network supports both paging filtering based on paging filtering information from the UE and providing a paging cause code in a paging message to the UE; and in response to receiving the indication from the network, deciding (430) whether to provide the paging filtering information to the network to command the network to apply the paging filtering, or to apply paging response behaviour based on a paging cause code in a paging message received from the network.

    摘要: Methods, systems, apparatuses, and computer program products for causing configuring user equipment (UE) for operator control of UE behavior in registering and deregistering with network slices and establishing and releasing PDU sessions in a communication system. A network entity can transmitting to UE a registration acceptance message comprising configuration information including instructions for the UE to request all single network slice selection assistance information (S-NSSAI) of a configured network slice selection assistance information (NSSAI) or instructions for the user equipment to request all S-NSSAI of a default configured NSSAI. The network entity can alternatively transmit to UE configuration information in a downlink non access stratum transport message or a UE configuration update message comprising instructions that the user equipment always establishes all protocol data unit (PDU) sessions for all data network names associated with a single network slice selection assistance information (S-NSSAI).
