    Abstract: Methods, apparatus circuitry, and storage media are described for mobile-terminated packet transmissions. In one embodiment, an apparatus of a control plane device configured to operate within an evolved packet network core identifies a first service flow event trigger associated with a first packet data unit (PDU) session and processes a path reselection for a first PDU session in response to the first service flow event trigger, wherein the path reselection determines a new gateway for the first PDU session resulting from the path reselection. Transmission of a change notification to an application server controller associated with the first PDU session is initiated in response to the path reselection. Transmission of a routing update to the new gateway in response to the path reselection is also initiated. In various embodiments, the trigger may be a mobility event, a load balancing event, or operations in association with an application server controller.

    Abstract: Described is a Logical Network Controller (LNC) operable to communicate with a User Equipment (UE) on a wireless network. The LNC may be operable to process connection request transmissions from the UE requesting a connection with an application service, such as a Mission-Critical Internet-of-Things (MC-IoT) service, to determine a Connection-specific Application Server Instance (CASI) for the application service, and to generate connection response transmissions for the UE carrying a connection-specific source IP address corresponding to the UE and a connection-specific destination IP address corresponding to the CASI. The UE may be operable to generate connection request transmissions for the LNC requesting a connection with an application service, to process connection response transmissions from the LNC carrying a connection-specific destination IP address corresponding to a CASI for the application service, and to generate connection-specific transmissions for the CASI, the connection-specific transmissions carrying the connection-specific destination IP address.
