    摘要: A method to operate a Network Function, Repository Function, NRF, to manage NF profiles of Session Management Functions (SMFs) in a communication system is provided that is configured to communicate with other network functions of the communications system through a network interface. The NRF receives NF profiles for the SMFs, wherein at least some of the NF profiles each include both a SMF identifier and a service area information for a respective one of the SMFs. After receiving the NF profiles, the NRF stores the SMF identifiers and the service area information of the NF profiles in a repository in memory. The NRF may also receive a NF discovery request for discovering SMFs. After receiving the NF discovery request, the NRF may retrieve from the repository at least one of the NF profiles respectively for at least one SMF based on content of the NF discovery request. The NRF communicates a NF discovery response containing the SMF identifier and the service area information of the at least one SMF.

    摘要: Disclosed herein is a method performed by an AMF entity in a Visited Public Land Mobile Network, VPLMN, entity serving a roaming UE, the method comprises: obtaining, by the AMF entity, a subscribed UE-AMBR for the UE; sending, by the AMF entity, an Access Management, AM, Policy request message towards a Visited Policy Control Function, V-PCF, entity in the VPLMN to establish or update an AM Policy for the roaming UE; receiving by the AMF entity in response to sending the AM Policy request message, an AM Policy response message sent by the V-PCF entity and comprising Access and mobility related policy information that includes a serving network UE-AMBR for the UE decided by the V-PCF entity; and deploying the serving network UE-AMBR instead of the subscribed UE-AMBR by sending the policy control information including the determined UE-AMBR to a RAN node in the serving network.

    摘要: Disclosed herein is a method, a wireless device and a session management node for IP version selection for a PDU session requested to be established by a WCD, that supports PDU sessions of both IPv4 and IPv6 and that is configured to operatively communicate via a RAN with a SM node in a core network lot, the method being performed by the WCD comprises: sending S110 a first PDU session request message towards the SM node requesting establishment of a first PDU session, which request message comprises IP-version information indicating that the IP version of the requested first PDU session should be any one of IPv4 or IPv6; and receiving S130, S140, in response to sending the first PDU session request message, a first response message, which first response message comprises WCD information indicating the IP-version (i.e. IPv4 or IPv6) that has been selected for the requested first PDU session.

    摘要: According to one aspect of the present disclosure, a method of paging policy differentiation in a 5G telecommunications network is provided. A User Plane Function (UPF) receives downlink data for a target User Equipment (UE), and provides a data notification to a Session Management Function (SMF), the data notification comprising a Quality of Service (QoS) indicator, which the SMF uses to determine QoS Information (QoSI) that is sent to an Access Management Function (AMF). The AMF determines whether a paging policy selection should be performed by the AMF or by a Radio Access Node (RAN) that serves the target UE: if by the AMF, the AMF selects a paging policy based on the QoSI and sends a paging message to the RAN, which pages the UE; if by the RAN, the AMF provides paging policy information to the RAN, which selects a paging policy and pages the UE accordingly.
