Abstract: Presented herein are techniques to facilitate dynamic negotiation and compression of Packet Forwarding Control Protocol (PFCP) messages in a mobile networking environment. In one example, a method includes identifying, by a function, a negotiated compression algorithm to utilize for compressing one or more Packet Forwarding Control Protocol (PFCP) messages; determining whether a payload for a particular PFCP message is to be compressed based on at least one of system resources of the function and a size of the payload; based on determining that the payload is to be compressed, compressing the payload utilizing the negotiated compression algorithm to generate a compressed PFCP message; and setting a compression indication in a header of the compressed PFCP message.

Abstract: Various implementations disclosed herein enable programming user plane gateway controllers over enhanced N9 interfaces. In various implementations, a method of gateway controlling is performed by a computing device including one or more processors, and a non-transitory memory. In various implementations the method includes determining, by a first packet gateway controller connected to a first session manager device, that a user equipment moved to a geographical area that is served by a second session manager device. In some implementations, the method includes receiving, by the first packet gateway device, a set of information for a second packet gateway device. In some implementations, the method includes transmitting, by the first packet gateway device, a session establishment request via a first network interface to the second packet gateway controller using segment routing via a second network interface.

Abstract: Techniques that provide enterprise slice management are described herein. In one embodiment, a method includes providing an enterprise service template to an enterprise, the enterprise service template comprising parameter input fields for indicating enterprise devices associated with the enterprise, services to be provided to the enterprise devices using a mobile network, and service options associated with the services; determining one or more mobile network services to be provided to a plurality of enterprise devices and one or more service options associated with the one or more mobile network services; identifying, based on the one or more mobile network services, an enterprise slice to provide the one or more mobile network services; and provisioning the enterprise slice based on the one or more mobile network services, the plurality of enterprise devices, and the one or more service options associated with the one or more mobile network services.

Abstract: A control plane (CP) entity is to adaptively reroute user plane traffic of a mobile node (MN) with use of a segment routing (SR) for IPv6. A message indicating an attachment of the MN to the mobile network is received selecting a first user plane (UP) anchor node. A first set of home network prefixes (HNPs) are allocated to the MN. An IP traffic flow using a first HNP prefix is established between the MN and a correspondent node (CN) along a first network path—defined at least in part by the first UP anchor node and an anchor node of the CN. In response to a handover of the MN, a message indicating a subsequent attachment of the MN is received selecting a second UP anchor node. The second UP anchor node is instructed to host the first HNP prefix previously allocated by the first UP anchor node.

Abstract: A network function (NF) entity in a communication network receives authentication data associated with a User Equipment (UE), determines the UE supports a blockchain registration procedure based on the authentication data, exchanges authentication messages with a Blockchain Roaming Broker (BRB) entity over a blockchain network interface, receives a blockchain authentication confirmation from the BRB entity, and registers the UE with the core network based on the blockchain authentication confirmation.

Abstract: A method is provided in one example embodiment and includes receiving at a network element a packet associated with a flow and determining whether a flow cache of the network element includes an entry for the flow indicating a classification for the flow. The method further includes, if the network element flow cache does not include an entry for the flow, punting the packet over a default path to a classifying service function, in which the classifying service function classifies the flow and determines a control plane service function for handling the flow, and receiving from the classifying service function a service path identifier (“SPI”) of a service path leading to the determined control plane service function. The flow is subsequently offloaded from the classifying service function to the network element.

Abstract: A user device operates a first data session using a first network slice. The user device obtains a trigger notification from a remote application that identifies a second network slice, and the user device determines that the first network slice and the second network slice are mutually exclusive. The user device ends the first data session on the first network slice and initiates a second data session on the second network slice.

Abstract: A method enables communication between Session Management Function (SMF) and User Plane Function (UPF) instances which are separately deployed behind Network Address Translation (NAT) services. The method includes configuring an SMF or a UPF to initiate an association with a corresponding UPF or SMF. The SMF registers first information with a Network Repository Function (NRF) enabling the remote UPF to communicate with the SMF through a NAT service. The method further includes obtaining second information from the NRF enabling the SMF to communicate with the remote UPF through the NAT service. The method also includes sending an association request to the remote UPF based on the second information and receiving an association response from the remote UPF through the NAT service.
