Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method in a network node implementing a Network Function, NF. The method includes: transmitting, to another NF, information indicating an identifier, ID, of each of one or more backup entities for one or more contexts in the NF. The information is included in a binding indication or a separate indication from the binding indication. The one or more backup entities are one or more backup NF instances or one or more backup NF service instances.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method, performed by a repository network entity within a telecommunications network, for providing notifications for a subscription to monitor changes of a NF profile of a monitored network entity. The method comprises: receiving, from a subscribing network entity, a subscription request to subscribe to monitor changes to a NF profile of at least one monitored network entity, the request comprising a notification preference that identifies a subset of attributes in the NF profile to be monitored or to be excluded from monitoring; and providing to the subscribing network entity, notifications of changes to the identified subset of attributes of the NF profile of the at least one monitored network entity.

Abstract: The embodiments herein relate to a method performed by a Control Plane (CP) function for handling a credit pool comprising granted service units to be used by multiple services. The multiple services are grouped in at least one first Rating Group (RG). The CP function creates an individual Usage Reporting Rule (URR) for each of the at least one first RG. Each individual URR comprises a first credit pool threshold. The CP function provides the individual URRs to a User Plane (UP) function. The CP function creates a Usage Reporting Rule for the Credit Pool (URR CRPL). The URR CRPL comprises instructions to the UP function to aggregate service unit usage for all individual URRs for all first RGs. The URR CRPL further comprises the first credit pool threshold. The CP function provides the URR CRPL to the UP function.

Abstract: Exemplary embodiments include methods for establishing a user-requested protocol data unit (PDU) session in a user's visited public land mobile network (VPLMN), by a session management function (V-SMF) in the VPLMN. Such methods include receiving, from an access and mobility management function (AMF) in the VPLMN, a PDUSession_CreateSMContext Request to establish the PDU session to be routed through the user's home PLMN (HPLMN). The PDUSession_CreateSMContext Request identifies an SMF (H-SMF) in the user's HPLMN. Such methods include sending, to the identified H-SMF, a PDUSession_Create Request to create the PDU session. The PDUSession_Create Request includes an identifier of a session management (SM) context, in the V-SMF, that is associated with the PDU session. Such methods include receiving, from the H-SMF, a PDUSession_Update Request that includes an identifier of an SM context, in the H-SMF, that is associated with the PDU session. Embodiments also include complementary methods performed by the H-SMF.

Abstract: Systems and methods to measure the number of packets in Control/User Plane Separation, CUPS, are provided. In some embodiments, a method performed by a Control Plane, CP, entity includes: determining that packet counting should be performed by a User Plane, UP, entity; providing measurement instructions to the UP entity for counting packets and identifying a recipient of a packet count if the CP entity is not the recipient; and, if the CP entity is the recipient of the packet count, receiving, from the UP entity, a packet count. In this way, a CP function is able to instruct a UP function to perform a measurement in terms of packets, e.g., a measurement of the number of packets transmitted.

Abstract: A method for a target mobility management entity and a target mobility management entity for executing the method in a core network to communicate network function (NF) utilization information with a source mobility management entity during a change of mobility management entity are disclosed. The method comprises: receiving at least one old NF identifier (ID) from the source mobility management entity that corresponds to an old NF entity serving a user equipment (UE); determining to either use the at least one old NF ID or to use at least one new NF ID that corresponds to a new NF entity of a same NF type as the old NF entity; and communicating, to the source mobility management entity, information that indicates to the source mobility management entity whether the target mobility management entity uses the at least one old NF ID or uses the at least one new NF ID.
