    摘要: A method, a device, and a non-transitory storage medium are described in which an application-based access control service is provided. The service assigns network slice priority values to network slices that are associated with an application or a portion of an application pertaining to end devices. The service calculates a network slice priority value to manage access barring based on a congestion level, and transmits the network slice priority value to end devices. End devices may determine whether access is permitted or not based on the network slice priority value and the assigned network slice priority values associated with the network slices. The service further provides access barring information to network devices of an access network that allows the network devices to reject connection requests and release existing connections. The access barring information may include a network slice priority value and/or network slice identifiers.

    摘要: A method may include receiving, at a network device, a registration request that comprises a subscription concealed identifier (SUCI) associated with a particular user equipment (UE) device. The network device determines whether the SUCI indicates a request for null-scheme network access; and retrieves a scheme authorization parameter for the UE device when it is determined that the SUCI indicates a request for null-scheme network access. The scheme authorization parameter indicates whether the UE device is authorized for null-scheme access to a service provider network. The network device determines whether the UE device is authorized for null-scheme network access based on the retrieved scheme authorization parameter and performs processing associated with null-scheme network access when it is determined that the particular UE device is authorized for null-scheme network access.
