Abstract: Some embodiments of this disclosure include apparatuses and methods for registration management in information centric networking (ICN) for next generation (NG) cellular networks. The apparatuses and methods can include at least generating, by a user equipment (UE), a registration request message to register the UE with a 5G system (5GS), where the registration request message includes an access network (AN) parameters, a UE policy parameter, and a UE ICN context information; and transmitting, by the UE, the registration request message to an access management function (AMF) to register the UE.

Abstract: Systems and methods of handover in an information-centric network are described. The ICN-CF receives an update request from an ICN ICN-AMF indicating handover of a UE from a source NG-RAN to a target NG-RAN. The ICN-CF transmits, to an ICN router, an update request to update a PIT and/or FIB table to enable data communications with the UE after handover. The request includes the UE and target NG-RAN, and if the source and target ICN-PoA are different, the source and target ICN-PoA and the ICN-GW.

Abstract: Some embodiments of this disclosure include systems, apparatuses, methods, and computer-readable media for use in a wireless network for compression and decompression of information centric network (ICN) names and/or ICN common fields at Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP) layer. For example, an electronic device can include processor circuitry and radio front end circuitry coupled to the processor circuitry. The processor circuitry can be configured to receive a first information centric network (ICN) packet including an ICN name or an ICN common field and compress the ICN name or the ICN common field at a Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP) layer. The processor circuitry can be further configured to provide the compressed ICN name or the compressed ICN common field to a lower protocol layer. The radio front end circuitry can be configured to transmit a second ICN packet including the compressed ICN name or the compressed ICN common field.

Abstract: Some embodiments of this disclosure include apparatuses and methods for making a service request in Information Centric Networking (ICN) for next generation cellular networks. The apparatuses and methods can include at least generating, by a user equipment (UE), a service request message comprising access network (AN) parameters and service request parameters, wherein the AN parameters include a fifth generation-system architecture evolution-temporary mobile subscriber entity (5G-S-TMSI) parameter, a selected public land mobile network (PLMN) identifier, or an establishment cause; and transmitting, by the UE, the service request message to a next-generation NodeB (gNB).

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure describe methods, apparatuses, storage media, and systems for retrieving cached data in an information centric networking (ICN) enabled cellular network. Various embodiments enable cached ICN data retrieval with newly introduced functionalities, such as ICN-control function (ICN-CF), ICN-point of attachment (ICN-PoA), uplink classifier (UL CL), and other corresponding functionalities. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.

Abstract: Systems and methods of providing policy and charging control in an information-centric network are described. An interest packet is transmitted from a content consumer to a holder through a gNB, ICN-PoA and ICN-GW. The interest packet has a prefix identifying content to be retrieved and a type field indicating an interest packet. The ICN-PoA modifies the interest packet to include a type of service (TS) field having the identity of the consumer and then transmitted to the ICN-GW when the content is neither created nor cached inside the 5G network. A data packet that includes the prefix, a type field indicating a data packet and the TS field is returned from the ICN-GW. The data packet is modified by the ICN-PoA to remove the TS field and transmitted to the consumer. The interest and data packets are logged and reported to an ICN-CF for generation of charging records.
