Abstract: User equipment appends a header to a non-access stratum (NAS) message to form an encapsulated NAS message. The header is formed according to a wireline access network protocol. The user equipment transmits the encapsulated NAS message over a wireline connection between the user equipment and an interworking function of a core network. The interworking function receives the encapsulated NAS message over the wired connection and forwards the NAS message to a core network entity selected based on addressing information included in the header. A point-to-point control plane session can be established between the user equipment and the interworking function in response to a session request transmitted by the user equipment. The point-to-point control plane session can be used to convey encapsulated NAS messages, which can be used to request establishment of an NAS session for a user plane connection to the core network.

Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for data collection coordination and persistent storage control for analytics. For example, certain embodiments may provide a unified data management framework that efficiently serves data collection and distribution needs and isolates a consumer from a producer. Further, some embodiments may provide for a reduction or elimination of unnecessary data storage in a data repository used in association with the data management framework provided by certain embodiments. Specifically, certain embodiments may allow a consumer entity that is requesting specific data to specify whether the data is to be kept in persistent storage in a data repository. The consumer entity, when requesting data, may send an indication that data is to be provided to the consumer entity only, that data is to be provided to the data repository only, or that the data is to be provided to the data repository and the consumer entity.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, are provided for coordinating actions, such as handovers. In some example embodiment, there may be provided a method to control an action at a group including a first user equipment being served by a first base station and a second user equipment being served by a second base station, each of the first user equipment and the second user equipment configured with a protocol data unit session to carry redundant time sensitive streams, wherein the control includes providing a token to enable at a time the action at a single one of the first user equipment or the second user equipment.

Abstract: Various communication systems may benefit from improved network communication setup. A method, in certain embodiments, may include determining at a network entity a new protocol data unit session anchor of a protocol data unit session with a user equipment. The method may also include transmitting from the network entity to the new protocol data unit session anchor a request to establish the new protocol data unit session anchor. In addition, the method may include transmitting an indication from the network entity to a radio access network. The indication may notify the radio access network to switch paths to the new protocol data unit session anchor. Further, the method includes sending from the network entity a gratuitous address resolution protocol request to the determined new packet data unit session anchor. The gratuitous address resolution protocol request may comprise an address of the user equipment in the protocol data unit session.
