    Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for steering terminals to a different network in case of a disaster. A method may include sending, to a network node of a first network, a first message including an indication that a disaster condition applies to a second network when the disaster condition applies to the second network. The method may also include sending a second message to the network node of the first network including an indication that the disaster condition no longer applies to the second network when the disaster condition no longer applies to the second network.

    Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, and computer program products are provided for handling session requests for emergency services. Updated closed access group (CAG) configuration information can be provided to user equipment (UE) requesting an emergency session with a public land mobile network (PLMN), and the UE may update their CAG information or discontinue its session request. When the PLMN determines that the UE's session request to the PLMN was sent via a non-CAG cell, the PLMN may then determine if the session request is for emergency services, in which case the PLMN may decide to not clear or reject the session request, while if the PLMN determines that the session request via the non-CAG cell is for non-emergency services, then the PLMN may clear or reject the session request. When a session request is rejected by the PLMN, the UE may enter a deregistered state and conduct a search for a new PLMN.

    Abstract: A method comprising: determining, by a user equipment, that a non-closed access group cell is available to the user equipment in a public land mobile network, wherein the public land mobile network is identified by a public land mobile network identity and the user equipment is only allowed to access the public land mobile network via one or more closed access group cells; displaying the public land mobile network identity to a user; receiving user input selecting the public land mobile network identity; and transmitting a registration request to the public land mobile network identified by the public land mobile network identity.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, are provided for handling non-integrity protected reject messages in non-public networks. In some example embodiments, there may be provided an apparatus including at least one processor and at least one memory including computer program code, the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to at least: receive, from a network function in a standalone non-public network (SNPN), a reject message, wherein information in the reject message indicates that the apparatus is not allowed to access the SNPN by subscription; and add the identity of the SNPN in a list of forbidden SNPNs associated with an access via which the apparatus sent a request and subsequently received the reject message.

    Abstract: A user equipment operating in a connected mode includes a first layer, a second layer, and a third layer. The first layer generates a request to send a non-initial non-access stratum (NAS) message over a first connection that operates according to a first radio access technology (RAT). The second layer determines whether access to the first connection is barred for the non-initial NAS message. The first layer selects a connection to deliver the non-initial NAS message between the first connection and a second connection that operates according to a second RAT in response to access to the first connection being barred. In some cases, the non-initial NAS message is a mobile originated short message service (SMS) message or an uplink NAS transport message. In some cases, the first layer is an NAS layer and the second layer is a radio resource control layer.

    Abstract: In some example embodiments, there may be provided a method that includes receiving, at a user equipment while being served by a first system and during protocol data unit session establishment or modification procedure, a message including an access point name aggregate maximum bit rate value; and when there is an inter-system change from the first system to the second system, setting, at the user equipment, the access point name aggregate maximum bit rate value of a session management context for the second system to the received access point name aggregate maximum bit rate value received while being served by the first system. Related systems, methods, and articles of manufacture are also described.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, apparatuses, and computer program products provide network function selection for user equipment via a gateway network node. In an implementation, a single-network slice selection assistance information (S-NSSAI) list is received from a user equipment (UE). Additionally, it is determined whether a network node does not support a non-access stratum node selection function for the UE. Based on a determination that the network node does not support the non-access stratum node selection function for the UE, an initial UE message configured with an information element for the S-NSSAI list is generated, and the initial UE message is caused to be transmitted to a gateway network node to select a core network function for the UE.
