Abstract: Various example embodiments relate to signalling of network access priority. An apparatus may receive, at a first network, default network priority data indicative of a priority for accessing access network resources by a device. The apparatus may further receive, from a second network, auxiliary network priority data configured by the second network to override the default network priority data. The apparatus may cause configuration of network access for the device based on the auxiliary network priority data.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and software of directly connecting a SIM-less device with a cellular network. In one embodiment, User Equipment (UE) includes a Subscriber Identity Module 5 (SIM) provisioned with a plurality of subscription profiles for subscriptions to the cellular network. The UE establishes a direct communication with a SIM-less device that does not have a subscription with the cellular network. The UE selects one of the subscriptions provisioned in the SIM as a temporary subscription assigned to the SIM-less device to allow the SIM-less device to establish a direct connection with the cellular network using the 10 temporary subscription, and transmits a message to the SIM-less device via the direct communication containing subscription credentials for the temporary subscription. The SIM-less device may therefore register with the cellular network using the subscription credentials provided by the UE, and establish a direct connection with the cellular network using the temporary subscription.

Abstract: A method, apparatus, and computer program product are provided for supporting the identification and selection of multiple network slices for remote user equipment. In the context of a method, the method includes receiving a first request from a remote user device, the request comprising a network identifier and requested slice information. The method also includes, based at least on the network identifier and the requested slice information, obtaining a slice identifier set comprising at least one slice identifier, and causing transmission of the slice identifier set to the remote user device for use in a session.

Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for determination of non-3GPP interworking function(s) (N3IWFs), which support slices targeted by a device or user equipment (UE), are provided. One method may include transmitting, by a UE or device, a request to at least one network node. The request may be to obtain information on network slices supported by at least one N3IWF. The method may also include receiving, from the at least one network node, a response comprising information for one or more N3IWFs and, based on the received information for the N3IWF(s), selecting one of the N3IWF(s) to use to connect to a 5G core network (5GC).

Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for access traffic steering, switching, and splitting (ATSSS) with branching point (BP) on the path are provided. The method may include determining that an existing user plane function is sub-optimal in terms of routing and latency incurred with respect to traffic for a given packet data unit session of a user equipment. The method may also include establishing, based on the determination, a new user plane function for the packet data unit session. The method may further include establishing a branching point user plane function that interfaces with the existing user plane function, the new user plane function, and a plurality of network access types. In addition, the method may include updating the user equipment by providing the user equipment with relevant multi-access traffic steering rules.
