The present disclosure relates to a communication technique for converging IoT technology with 5G communication systems for supporting higher data transmission rates than 4G systems and to a system thereof. The present disclosure can be applied to intelligent services (e.g., smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car or connected car, health care, digital education, retail business, security- and safety-related services, etc.) on the basis of 5G communication technology and IoT-related technologies. The method for operating a policy and charging function (PCF) according to one embodiment of the present invention comprises the steps of: receiving a message which is generated by an application function (AF) and requests a change in the traffic route of terminal; checking priority information of the terminal, regarding services provided by the AF, included in the message; and changing the protocol data unit (PDU) session connection of the terminal on the basis of the priority information.

The present disclosure provides an automotive solution operating with the following constraints: (1) provide connectivity to public MNO network and private enterprise network; (2) support both public and private domain connectivity with a single SIM profile; (3) both public and private connectivity using independent IMSI and credentials; (4) UE using the appropriate IMSI when connecting to the public and private networks; (5) a break-before-make for transitions across public and private networks; (6) continuity of service across the two domains is not required; and (7) if private network services need to be accessed from public network, explicit VPN style tunneling will support that function.

Embodiments of the prevent invention provide a network access authentication method and device. The method comprises: receiving an authentication request message sent by a first serving network, wherein the authentication request message carries a user equipment pseudonym identifier generated by a user equipment; determining whether a local user equipment pseudonym identifier is asynchronous with the user equipment pseudonym identifier generated by the user equipment; and obtaining, if the determination result is yes, an encrypted international mobile subscriber identity (IMSI) to carry out network access authentication on the user equipment. The embodiments of the present invention can solve the problem that a network access process in the related art does not provide a processing method for the case where the user equipment pseudonym identifier in the user equipment is asynchronous with the user equipment pseudonym identifier in a home network.

Arrangements detailed herein are directed to modifying functionality of and service provided to user equipment (UE) of a cellular network via integration with an external management system. A core application programming interface (API) can allow the external management system, distinct from the cellular network, to modify one or more parameters maintained by the cellular network core.

Methods, systems, and computer readable media for supporting mobile originated data multicasting in a communications network are disclosed. One method includes receiving, from a consumer network function (NF) in a communications network, a deliver request message containing mobile originated (MO) data corresponding to a protocol data unit (PDU) session, wherein NIDD context information stored at NEF and referred by a context identifier in the deliver request message includes a subscriber identifier and a data network identifier associated with a user device requesting the PDU session and determining that a rule entry belonging to a plurality of rule entries contained in a multicasting ruleset matches at least one of the subscriber identifier and the data network identifier included in the NIDD context information that is stored at the NEF and referred by the context identifier in the deliver request message. The method further includes accessing a list of NF identity objects in the rule entry in response to determining the rule entry matches at least one of the subscriber identifier and/or the data network identifier and delivering the MO data to each of a plurality of NF endpoints specified in the rule entry in accordance with a routing condition indicated in each of the NF identity objects respectively associated with each of the NF endpoints.

A method for selecting a user plane function when a user equipment (UE) attaches to a wireless communication network may include determining a data throughput limit associated with the UE, identifying a first user plane function having a first data throughput capacity, and identifying a second user plane function having a second data throughput capacity, wherein the first throughput capacity is higher than the second throughput capacity. The method may further include selecting the first user plane function if the data throughput limit of the UE is above a predetermined threshold, selecting the second user plane function if the data throughput limit of the UE is below the predetermined threshold, and sending a session request to the selected first or second user plane function.

Various implementations of a method for transmitting a temporary identifier involve a wireless communication device: transmitting a first portion of a temporary identifier of the wireless communication device to a radio access network in a first message; and transmitting a second portion of the temporary identifier to the radio access network in a second message.

The present invention relates to a method for receiving a paging signal in a wireless communication system, and a device therefor, the method comprising the steps of: determining index information indicating a wake up signal (WUS) resource; and monitoring a WUS on the basis of the determined index information, wherein, when a user equipment (UE) supports machine type communication (MTC), the index information indicating the WUS resource is determined on the basis of identification information of the UE, parameters related to a discontinuous reception (DRX) cycle of the UE, information related to the number of paging narrowbands, and information related to the number of UE groups for the WUS.

The system allows real time collection and processing of massive data from many network elements. It has an elastic architecture that scales horizontally to support different network sizes. The system in a uniform data format for downstream consumption. It employs a pub/sub data distribution mechanism that supports multiple concurrent downstream subscribers efficiently in real-time.

Provided is a method for establishing a bidirectional communication channel between a server and a secure element cooperating with a terminal in a cellular telecommunication network for exchanging data and commands. Provided also is an improved SM-DS+ comprising comprising a SM-OS server that provisions the HSS of a MNO with a temporary IMSI transmitted to said secure element, along with an ephemeral key contained also in said secure element.
