    Abstract: Apparatuses, method, and computer-program for a mobile telecommunication network comprising multiple public land mobile networks sharing a radio access network node are provided. An apparatus of one of the multiple public land mobile networks may include at least one processor; and at least one memory comprising: instructions which, when executed by the at least one processor cause the apparatus at least to: receive, from an application function of a content provider, a request for allocation of a temporary mobile group identity for a shared multicast/broadcast session comprising an index value to be used to select a temporary mobile group identity for the shared multicast/broadcast service from the list of temporary mobile group identities for shared services; select, based on the index value, a temporary mobile group identity for the shared multicast/broadcast service from a list or range of temporary mobile group identities for shared services; and send, to the application function, the selected temporary mobile group identity for the shared multicast/broadcast service.

    Abstract: There are provided measures for inter-network congestion reporting. Such measures may comprise (e.g. at a network gateway entity providing access to a network for a network external entity external to said network) receiving, from an entity external to a first network, a report reporting congestion indication in a downlink direction from said first network towards a terminal device, and transmitting information corresponding to said congestion indication towards a network entity in said first network.

    Abstract: According to an aspect, there is provided an apparatus configured to perform the following. The apparatus receives a service announcement of a multicast broadcast service. The service announcement comprises either at least one frequency selection area identity, FSAI, and at least one indication indicating that the at least one FSAI is defined for reduced capability terminal devices or at least one frequency and at least one indication indicating that the at least one frequency is defined for reduced capability terminal devices. The apparatus performs a cell reselection process based on cell measurements and the service announcement.

    Abstract: Techniques for accessing a core network via access points and gateway functions are provided. For example, a method comprises: determining one or more candidate gateway functions for accessing the core network via the access point; transmitting, to the one or more candidate gateway functions or to a core network function, a request for use of the one or more gateway functions to access the core network; and receiving, from the gateway function or from the core network function, a request response per candidate gateway function, the request response being configured to indicate whether the access to the core network via the respective gateway function is rejected and, in the case of rejection, to indicate a cause of rejection. The method may be performed by the terminal device (e.g., a user equipment, UE). Corresponding methods that can be performed by a network device are also provided.
