摘要: Systems and methods for performing User Plane (UP) path selection or reselection over a communications network with a 3rd party entity, and for notifying network entities of UP changes in a communications network, are disclosed. The method includes: receiving an application program interface based request for UP path selection from the 3rd party entity; performing a validation and authorization procedure with the request; transmitting a UP path selection configuration request to a Control Plane Function that maintains configuration data; obtaining a reference number confirming the UP path selection configuration request; and installing the UP path selection according to the reference number.

摘要: The disclosure concerns a method and communication system for user path (UP) reselection. The method includes sending, from a network entity, a request to influence UP path reselection, the request indicating an application function (AF) location to be included in the UP path reselection. The method further includes generating, by a policy control function (PCF), a policy associated with the request and providing, by the PCF, the policy to a session management function (SMF). The method additionally includes performing, by the SMF, the UP path reselection for a session according to the policy and acknowledging, by the PCF, the request to the network entity.

摘要: Application Function (AF) influenced routing for peer-to-peer (P2P) communications is provided. Core network elements correlate PDU sessions and optimize the UP path for peer-to-peer traffic. UP selection, reselection, configuration or reconfiguration can be performed in support of P2P traffic routing. P2P traffic between a pair of UEs is routed or rerouted through a bridge. The bridge may be established between the first UP and the second UP, and/or between associated RAN nodes. One or more application functions can be included along the bridge path. A policy control function (PCF) directs underlying resources to route P2P traffic via the bridge, for example in response to a trigger from the AF. A session management function (SMF) directs underlying resources to configure or reconfigure user plane data paths to route P2P traffic via the bridge. First and second SMFs of the first and second UPs can cooperate to establish the desired traffic routing. One or more UPFs can be configured to support P2P traffic detection.

摘要: A method and system of unifying data transmission and storage in a communication network are provided. The method comprises determining, by a coordinator associated with a network data analytics function (NWDAF) service instance set, what data that more than one NWDAF service instances in the NWDAF service instance set requires, if the data required by the more than one NWDAF service instances is the same, requesting, by the coordinator associated with the NWDAF service instance set, the data from a network function service instance set, and receiving the data from a data storage function that is notified by the network function service instance set of the request from the coordinator associated with the NWDAF service instance set.

摘要: The present invention provides methods and apparatus for notifying Quality of Service (QoS) information to User Equipment (UE), Users, and Application server. Embodiments of the present invention may analyze the network QoS and/or statistics of QoS parameters using one or more functions such as Network Data Analytics Function (NWDAF). Embodiments may also provide control plane (CP) functions which may send the QoS information to the UE depending on the UE subscription, application and/or network slice.

摘要: Methods, systems and architectures are described which provide at least one aggregated tunnel protocol, in addition to the existing per PDU session tunnel protocols (1, 2, . . . N). When the UE requests a new PDU session or a new QoS flow, the SMF may establish a Per PDU Session Tunnel to serve this PDU session. Alternatively, an Aggregated Tunnel may be selected to serve the PDU session or to serve the QoS flow. When a packet from a UE arrives, the receiving network function can send this packet either using a per PDU session tunnel protocol or aggregated tunnel protocol.

摘要: A method, apparatus and system for supporting Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) in a network such as a 5G communication network. Application Function (AF) request data is received from an AF operating in the network in support of MEC, stored in memory, and transmitted from the memory to one or more Policy Control Functions (PCFs) operating in the network. Subscribing PCFs may be notified of the receipt and storage of the data and request retrieval of the data. The data may be stored and handled by a function referred to as the Application Data Repository, or by another data repository. The operations may be performed by a network function such as but not limited to an Application Data Repository function. The function can store the AF request data and notify the PCFs. The function can handle AF requests associated with roaming UEs.
