Abstract:
User Equipment (UE) may skip the Access Class Barring (ACB) procedure for specific services, such as MMTEL voice, MMTEL video, and SMS. In one implementation, NAS layer of a UE may: receive, from an upper layer relative to the NAS layer, a request for a particular service type that is being originated by the UE; receive an indication, from a Radio Resource Control (RRC) layer of the UE, that access to a cell, associated with the UE, is barred; and bypass the indication that access to the cell is barred, when the particular service type matches a predetermined set of service types. The bypassing may include: requesting that the RRC layer establish an RRC connection for the service request, and notifying the RRC layer that the request for the RRC connection corresponds to the particular service type.
Abstract:
Some demonstrative embodiments include devices, systems and methods of providing offloadability information to a User Equipment (UE). For example, a core network (CN) may provide to the UE Packet Data Network (PDN) offloadability information corresponding to one or more PDN connections of the UE, the PDN offloadability information indicating which PDN connection of the one or more PDN connections is able to be offloaded to a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN).
Abstract:
The present disclosure provides access to a network based on a device profile. Configuring access to a network can include decoding uplink data received from a user equipment (UE), accessing a device profile corresponding to the UE from the decoded uplink data, and configuring an access that the UE has to an EPC network based on the device profile.
Abstract:
Control of Applications when Third Party Servers encounter difficulties (CATS) is discussed. An example network server that facilitates CATS comprises a processor and a transmitter circuit. The processor is configured to determine a status associated with a third party server and a network load level of a network associated with the network server, select a CATS level that defines one or more restrictions on network traffic associated with the third party server for the third party server based on the third party server status and the network load level, and implement the one or more restrictions on network traffic toward the third party server. The interface is configured to transmit an indicator of the CATS level for the third party server.
Abstract:
Briefly, in accordance with one or more embodiments, a network node of a first Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) receives a request from a user equipment (UE) for a service to be provided to the UE by the first PLMN, and sends a response to the UE indicating whether the request is accepted or rejected, wherein the response indicates to the UE whether the UE is allowed to repeat the request if the UE connects to a second PLMN that is an equivalent PLMN with the first PLMN.

Systems and methods are provided for security systems and procedures. Certain embodiments herein are directed to privacy protection for a permanent subscriber identifier. Other embodiments are directed to support of extensible authentication protocol (EAP) authentication and authorization by 5G non-access stratum (NAS).
Abstract:
Technology for using an open mobile alliance (OMA) management object (MO) for congestion control in mobile networks is described. A novel type of OMA MO for application specific access control (ASAC) can include internet protocol (IP) flow descriptions that can be used to characterize applications with fine granularity. Priorities can be assigned to IP flows based on the IP flow descriptions. A user equipment (UE) can receive such an OMA MO and also receive application-barring information regarding a congestion level in a mobile network with which an application at the UE wishes to connect. The UE can have a connectivity manager (CM) that determines whether to allow the application to establish a connection with the mobile network based on the priority level of the application's associated IP flow and the application-barring information.
Abstract:
Embodiments of protocol converters (PCs), and related techniques, are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, a PC may include reception logic to receive Extensible Markup Language (XML) data transmitted by an Application Function (AF), conversion logic to convert the XML data into a Diameter Protocol (DP) message, and provision logic to provide the DP message for transmission to a Policy and Charging Rules Function (PCRF). Other embodiments may be disclosed and/or claimed.
Abstract:
Technology for provisioning categories of applications on a user equipment (UE) is disclosed. A registration update message may be received at a wireless network element from the UE over non-access stratum (NAS) signaling. Application Specific Congestion Control for Data Communications (ACDC)/Application and Service Access Control (ASAC) information may be communicated from the wireless network element to the UE in response to receiving the registration update message. The ACDC/ASAC may be activated at a selected prioritization level, at the wireless network element, while a wireless network channel condition of a wireless network exceeds a capacity threshold, the ACDC/ASAC enabling only application categories to operate at the UE that are contained in the ACDC/ASAC information.
