    Abstract: Disclosed is a 5G or a pre-5G communication system provided to support a higher data transmission rate than that of post-4G communication systems such as LTE. A method of operating a network node in a wireless communication system includes: receiving, from at least one user plane function (UPF) instance, a registration request message including UPF profile information of the at least one UPF instance; storing the UPF profile information including UPF service support information for at least one UPF service supported by the at least one UPF instance, receiving, from a session management function (SMF) node, a UPF discovery request message including UPF service information; discovering one or more UPF instance based on the UPF profile information and the UPF service information; and transmitting, to the SMF node, UPF instance information for the one or more UPF instance.

    Abstract: An Application Function (AF) (5) sends to a core network (3) a first message regarding an event related to a configuration of a user plane path for a PDU Session. If the AF (5) receives a second message based on an occurrence of the event from the core network (3) before a first predetermined period of time expires after transmitting the first message, the AF (5) sends a positive response to the second message to the core network (3). Otherwise, the AF (5) sends a third message to the core network (3) indicating a failure of a process in the AF (5) corresponding to the event. This allows, for example, the application function or the UE, or both, to deal with delays incurred in a procedure in the core network to change the user plane path in terms of runtime coordination between the core network and the application function.

    Abstract: The disclosed embodiments provide a method for interconnecting a plurality of networks, including a first network, with a second network via an interworking gateway (IWG). The method may comprise receiving a request from the first network for a user in the first network to access at least one service or application available in the second network, determining at least one criteria associated with the second network to enforce for the user in the first network, and enforcing the at least one criteria for communications associated with the user between the first and second networks. The IWG may be a cloud-based service that is configured to perform the aforementioned steps. The IWG may also be configured to be dynamically scalable to support multiple networks in the plurality of networks requesting interconnection with the second network.
