A method for admission control including transmitting a first admission request to a distributed unit of the IAB donor, wherein the first admission request includes information about a resource set to be established for a terminal device; receiving a first admission response from the distributed unit indicating whether one or more resources in the resource set are to be accepted; transmitting a second admission request to each of at least one IAB node including information about the resource set; receiving a second admission response from each of the at least one IAB node indicating whether one or more resources in the resource set are to be accepted; and in response to determining that at least one resource in the resource set is to be accepted, transmitting to an IAB node serving the terminal device a request for establishing a context of the terminal device including information about the resource.

Embodiments of the present invention relate to the communications field, and provide a method for determining a control plane node, an apparatus, and a wireless communications system, so as to select, for UE, a control plane node corresponding to a network slice to which the UE belongs, thereby ensuring that the control plane node can provide a customized service for the UE. The method includes: obtaining, by UE, indication information, where the indication information is used to indicate a network slice to which the UE belongs; and sending, by the UE, an access layer request message to a radio access network node, where the access layer request message includes the indication information, and the access layer request message is used to trigger the radio access network node to determine, based on the indication information, a control plane node corresponding to the network slice for the UE.

Presented herein are techniques to facilitate extending a multiple access Protocol Data Unit (PDU) session and Access Traffic Steering, Switching, and Splitting Low-Layer (ATSSS-LL) policies to an enterprise network. In one example, a method may include obtaining a request for an ATSSS-LL policy for a user equipment (UE) for establishing a multiple access protocol data unit session for the UE via a wireless wide area access network for an enterprise network; and providing to the UE one or more ATSSS-LL rules for the ATSSS-LL policy, an Internet Protocol (IP) address for the multiple access protocol data unit session for the UE, and an identifier for the multiple access protocol data unit session for the UE in which the IP address is utilized for a wireless local area access network connection for the UE established via a wireless local area access network of the enterprise network.

A method and system for a first node to transmit packets to a second none, comprising receiving a packet from a local area network (LAN) interface, inspecting the packet; determining whether the packet satisfies at least one packet condition; transmitting the packet through a predefined tunnel if the packet satisfies the at least one packet condition; transmitting the packet through a second tunnel if the packet does not satisfy the at least one packet condition. The predefined tunnel is a first tunnel and is established before the packet is received by the first node. The second tunnel belongs to a first tunnel group or a second tunnel group. The first tunnel, the second tunnel and other tunnels may together form an aggregated connection. Further, the use of predefined tunnel may be based on whether the packets satisfy a session condition.

A method, a device, and a non-transitory storage medium are described in which a radio and core integrated layers service is provided. The service provides a direct mapping of a quality of service flow between a packet data unit layer and a service data adaptation layer associated with a user plane function and a central unit-user plane function without an intermediary mapping of a tunneling protocol in the user plane.

A device may receive, from a user equipment, a token request associated with an application, wherein the token request is associated with a device identifier. The device may generate a device token for the application and the user equipment. The device may provide, using the device identifier, the device token to the user equipment to enable a user to access the application via an application platform. The device may receive, from the application platform, a slice request for a network slice of a network that is to be used for an application session. The device may determine that the user equipment is associated with the application session based on the device token and the device identifier. The device may configure a network slice instance of the network slice. The device may determine a user equipment route selection policy for the application session according to the network slice instance.
