    Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for policy control for broadcast sessions. One method may include receiving, by a multicast/broadcast session management function, at least one broadcast session creation request comprising at least one broadcast session indication associated with at least one policy control function. The multicast/broadcast session management function may receive at least one policy update from the at least one policy control function, and transmit at least one resource allocation request associated with at least one broadcast session transmission to at least one application management function.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, are provided for handovers including fallbacks. In some example embodiments, there is provided an apparatus comprising at least one processor and at least one memory including program code which when executed causes the apparatus to at least: receive, during creation or modification of a bearer, a message including a handover threshold based at least in part on a type of codec for the bearer; receive, from a user equipment, a measurement report providing an indication of a condition of the bearer and/or perform a measurement, by the base station, providing the indication of the condition of the bearer; determine, based at least on the handover threshold, whether to initiate a handover. Related apparatus, systems, methods, and articles are also described.

    Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for UPF control with coexistence of policy control and packet filters dynamically generated at the SMF. For example, if the SMF obtains an event subscription with traffic descriptors from another entity, and if there is no installed PDR with the same traffic descriptor, the SMF may construct a PDR with an action according to the subscribed event. The SMF may configure the UPF with the constructed PDR. In certain embodiments, to construct the PDR, the SMF may copy the PDR that would have previously matched the incoming traffic described by the traffic descriptor in the notification subscription, and associates the PDR with a higher priority, the traffic descriptor and a notification action according to the subscribed event. To configure the UPF, the SMF may provide the PDR with the higher priority, the received traffic descriptor, and the notification action, according to some embodiments.

    Abstract: It is provided a method, comprising monitoring if a received request comprises a notification indication, wherein the notification indication indicates that the request is one of a callback request and a notification request; handling the request as a service request if the request does not comprise the notification indication; handling the request as a notification or callback request if the request comprises the notification indication, wherein the handling as a service request is different from the handling as a notification or callback request.

    Abstract: It is provided a method, comprising detecting if a first signaling indicating the desire to send plural first media streams including an audio stream is received from a sender; informing the resource function processor that at least a subgroup of the first media streams including the audio stream originates from the sender if the first signaling is received from the sender; instructing a resource function processor to perform voice activity detection on the audio stream if the first signaling is received from the sender; instructing the resource function processor to apply a policy on the subgroup of the first media streams, wherein the policy includes passing or discarding at least some of the first media streams of the subgroup and/or selecting destinations for the media streams depending on a result of the voice activity detection on the audio stream.

    Abstract: Method comprising: receiving, from a first network function of a first domain, a request for a first service related to one of one or more terminals or to one or more PDU sessions of the one or more terminals, identifying an address of one of one or more second network functions of a second domain based on the requested first service, the one or more terminals and the one ore more PDU sessions, respectively, and a first mapping relationship; forwarding the request or redirecting the request towards the one second network function, wherein the first mapping relationship indicates, for each of the one or more terminals and for each of the one or more PDU sessions, respectively, a respective address of the one second network function capable to serve the one or more terminals or the one or more PDU sessions.

    Abstract: There is provided an apparatus. The apparatus is configured to: store information of a multicast session, the information comprising at least one identifier of the multicast session, and information about access to different content for the multicast session in a plurality of different location areas; and, in response to a request from a second apparatus, provide to the second apparatus information about access to content of the multicast session in at least one of the plurality of different location areas.
