    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.

    Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for creation of a PCS connection between the remote user equipment (UE) and the relay UE. The remote UE may provide its identifier (e.g., a subscription concealed identifier (SUCI)) to the relay UE and the relay UE may forward this identifier to the network so that the network can authenticate the remote UE. The network may check the authorization of using the relay UE and/or for relaying the remote UE (e.g., both the remote UE and the relay UE may be checked for a configuration that permits the relaying). For the authentication and authorization, the access and mobility management function (AMF) associated with the relay UE may forward the messages between the remote UE and the authentication server function (AUSF) of the remote UE. In this way, certain embodiments described herein may address certain security issues related to relaying a remote UE.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for edge services are disclosed. A network function entity receives from an application function entity a request relating to a data communication session, and can then determine, in response to the request, information of at least one local network exposure function entity for the application function entity. The application function entity is provided with the information of the at least one local network exposure function entity. The information can be used in connecting with a local network exposure function entity. The local network exposure function entity can then be used for the data communication session.

    Abstract: Techniques for enforcing packet detection rules within communication systems are provided. A network entity may configure a user plane function to detect whether a domain name system request sent by a user equipment satisfies one or more packet detection rules. The network entity may receive, from a user plane function, a report that a domain name system request sent by the user equipment has been detected as non-compliant with instructions sent to the user equipment. The network entity may cause one or more corrective actions relating to traffic offloading.
