A wireless communication network serves a User Equipment (UE) over multiple User Plane Function Groups (UPFGs). In the wireless communication network, a Session Management Function (SMF) receives UPFG performance metrics from the wireless communication network. The SMF identifies a Packet Data Flow Group (PDFG) for the UE. The SMF responsively selects one of the UPFGs for the PDFG based on the UPFG performance metrics. The selected UPFG comprises at least three User Plane Functions (UPFs) and the PDFG comprises at least two Packet Data Flows (PDFs). The SMF transfers network signaling to the selected UPFG to deliver the PDFG to the UE. The selected UPFG receives the network signaling and responsively exchanges user data for the UE to deliver the PDFG.

A method at a network element within a Vehicle to Everything (V2X) Communications Domain, the method including receiving a tracking request at the network element for a target vehicle, the tracking request including identifying information for the target vehicle; creating a target vehicle list based on the tracking request; distributing the target vehicle list to at least one V2X endpoint; receiving at least one sighting report from the at least one V2X endpoint; and forwarding the at least one sighting report to a second network element.

Various embodiments of the present invention provide systems and method for supporting target intercept directing.

Various embodiments of the present invention provide systems and method for supporting target intercept directing.

Lawful interception (LI) of electronic communications includes receiving, by a triggering function (TF), a task request including a task identifier (ID) from a LI provisioning function (LIFP). The TF receives an indication of a protocol data unit (PDU) session establishment applicable to the received request, and then triggers (including a POI task ID) each point of interception (POI) applicable to the request. The TF receives a task response indicating a status of the task at the triggered POI. The TF reports, to the LIPF, a TF task issue request indicating the status, the TF task ID, the POI task ID, and a network entity ID of the POI.

The disclosure relates to a communication technique for converging, with an IoT technology, a 5G communication system for supporting a higher data transmission rate than a 4G system, and a system therefor. The disclosure may be applied to intelligent services, such as smart homes, smart buildings, smart cities, smart cars or connected cars, health care, digital education, retail businesses, and security and safety related services, on the basis of 5G communications technologies and IoT-related technologies. A method for operating relay UE in a mobile communication system includes transmitting, to a network node connected to the relay UE, a remote UE report message including remote UE information about a remote UE accessing a network via the relay UE, wherein the remote UE information includes IP address information allocated to the remote UE; starting a timer upon transmitting the remote UE report message to the network node; receiving, from the network node, a response message in reply to the remote UE report message; and stopping the timer upon receipt of the response message from the network node. the IP address information includes an IP address and port information of the remote UE in case that IPv4 is used as an address type.

Apparatuses, methods, systems, and program products are disclosed for dynamically sharing wireless signature data. An apparatus includes a processor and a memory that stores code executable by the processor. The code is executable by the processor to detect a wireless signature emitted from an information handling device at a network-connected device and record wireless signature information for the information handling device based on the wireless signature. The code is executable by the processor to receive a request to share the wireless signature information with a requesting party. The code is executable by the processor to share the wireless signature information with the requesting party from the network-connected device in response to determining that the requesting party is an authorized party for receiving the wireless signature information.
