Abstract: A Radio Access Network (RAN) node configures a User Equipment (UE) to provide measurement results for private wireless networks in the neighborhood of the UE. The RAN node registers the UE with a computer network and provides location information about the UE to an Application Function (AF) connected to the computer network. The RAN node obtains a partial identifier that specifies a range of private wireless networks selected by the AF, and sends a request to the UE for measurements associated with the range of private wireless networks.

Abstract: Presented herein are techniques to facilitate delivering standalone non-public network (SNPN) credentials from an enterprise authentication server to a user equipment (UE) using an Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) process. In one example, a method may include determining, by an authentication server of an enterprise, that a UE for the enterprise is to receive credentials to enable the UE to connect to a SNPN of the enterprise in which the determining is performed based, at least in part, on connection of the UE to an access network that is different than the SNPN for the enterprise; and performing an authentication process with the UE by the authentication server in which the authentication process includes providing the credentials to the UE via a first authentication message and obtaining confirmation from the UE via a second authentication message that indicates successful provisioning of the credentials for the UE.

Abstract: Techniques are described herein for providing radio resource ownership indicators in charging records for a charging function. In one example, a method may include determining, by a session management node of a mobile network, that a user equipment is utilizing a particular radio resource of a mobile network resource for a Protocol Data Unit (PDU) session of the user equipment, wherein the mobile network resource is capable of being utilized via a plurality of radio resources and the particular radio resources is associated with an enterprise entity; and reporting charging information for the PDU session of the user equipment to a charging function of the mobile network to facilitate storing a charging record for the user equipment that is to include an identifier of the enterprise entity that is associated with the particular radio resource.

Abstract: A controller of a macro wireless network provisions a user device for access to local private networks based on the cell that the user device uses to attach to the macro wireless network. The controller obtains information on private networks operating within a coverage area of the macro wireless network. The controller associates a particular cell of the macro wireless network with one or more private networks operating within the particular cell. The controller detects a user device in the particular cell and provisions the user device with access to the one or more private networks.

Abstract: In one illustrative example, a mobility node (e.g. an SMF) may receive a message which indicates a request for creating a session for a user equipment (UE). A user plane function (UPF) instance for the session may be selected based on a set of parameters. The set of parameters may include one or more location(s) of one or more multi-access edge computing (MEC) resources and applications of interest for the UE. Location data associated with the MEC resources and applications may be determined from server addresses obtained from UPF processing of domain name server (DNS) queries associated with the applications. In preferred implementations, the server addresses are client subnet location-dependent server addresses obtained from client subnet-based DNS queries. The server addresses or location data derived therefrom may be regularly submitted to the SMF for improved UPF selection based on locations of MEC resources and applications.

Abstract: Techniques are described for extending a cellular quality of service bearer through an enterprise fabric network. In one example, a method obtaining, by a first switch of a network, a packet to be delivered to a client connected to the network via a cellular access point; identifying quality of service (QoS) bearer information associated with the packet, wherein the QoS bearer information is associated with a radio access bearer for the client and the QoS bearer information comprises a bearer indicator and a QoS class identifier; providing a fabric tunnel encapsulation for the packet, wherein the bearer indicator and the QoS class identifier are included within the fabric tunnel encapsulation of the packet; and forwarding the packet within the fabric tunnel encapsulation toward a second switch of the network via a fabric tunnel, wherein the cellular access point is connected to the network via the second switch.

Abstract: Methods for selecting network slice, session management, and user plane functions for user equipment (UE) are described. In one example, a control plane (CP) entity for mobility management may select a CP entity for session management for a session of a UE based on a first set of data items. The CP entity for mobility management may further select a user plane (UP) entity for the session of the UE based on a second set of data items, where second set of data items include at least some of the same data items of the first set. The CP entity for mobility management may send, to the selected CP entity, a message including an identity or indication of the selected UP entity for the session of the UE. The selected CP entity may select the identified or indicated UP entity for use in the session of the UE.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method is performed. A first control plane entity may generate a first seamless bidirectional forwarding detection (S-BFD) control packet. The first S-BFD control packet may include a first discriminator value, a second discriminator value, and a segment routing header. The first discriminator value may be set to a discriminator value associated with a network node of a path comprising a plurality of network nodes. The second discriminator value may be set to a discriminator value associated with the first control plane entity. The segment routing header may be set to an ordered list of values associated with the plurality of network nodes. The values may include at least one of an address or a discriminator value.
