One aspect of the disclosure relates to a method for providing a service to a user equipment connected to a first operator network. The second operator network comprises a register containing subscription information of the user equipment. The method comprises a number of steps. One of these steps is receiving from the first operator network a service request of the user equipment, the service request being associated with the service. Another step is obtaining a service-deployment-specification for the second operator network comprising at least one network function associated with the service on the basis of the service request. Yet another step is converting the service-deployment-specification for the second operator network into a generic specification, the generic specification enabling execution of the at least one network function in the first operator network for providing the service to the user equipment. Yet another step is transmitting the generic specification to the first operator network. The invention further relates to systems and nodes in the first and second operator network, and to a computer program product for performing methods for providing the service.

The invention relates to a system comprising a mobile device (1), a device (13b) for transmitting information, a device (15) hosting a device registry (14) and a wireless device (3a). The mobile device (1) comprises a receiver, a transmitter, storage means and a processor. The processor is configured to use the receiver to determine that a wireless device (3a) has newly connected to the mobile device (1), to store or update a profile corresponding to the wireless device (3a) on the storage means, to use the transmitter to transmit first information to at least one device registry (14), the first information comprising an identifier of the wireless device (3a), to use the receiver to determine that a status of the wireless device (3a) has changed to a new status, to update or remove the profile stored on the storage means if the status of the wireless device (3a) has changed co to the new status, and to use the transmitter to transmit second information to the at least one device registry (14) if the status of the new wireless device (3a) has changed to the new status, the second information comprising the identifier of the wireless device (3a) and the new status. The invention further relates to a device (13b) for transmitting information, the methods performed by these devices and one or more computer program products enabling a computer system to perform these methods.

An Internet of things (IoT) devices wireless communication service enablement platform. The platform comprises a memory, a processor, and an IoT devices wireless communication service enablement application stored in the memory. When executed by the processor, the application receives a rule set for enabling wireless communication service for a plurality of IoT devices, where the rule set associates service codes to quality of service (QoS) levels to be provided to the IoT devices, receives a message comprising a service code from the one of the IoT devices, identifies a QoS level in the rule set that matches the received service code, monitors the location of the one of the IoT devices, builds an eSIM profile based on the location of the one of the IoT devices and based on the QoS level that matches the received service code, and sends the eSIM profile to the one of the IoT devices.

Embodiments herein provide a method for communication by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication network. The method comprises: determining a failure in transmission of a uplink non-access stratum (UL NAS) transport message, determining whether the failure in the transmission of the UL NAS transport message is due to a Tracking Area identity (TAI) change from lower layers, and handling the failure in the transmission of the UL NAS transport message based on a TAI list sent from the wireless communication network, in response to determining that the failure in the transmission of the UL NAS transport message is due to the TAI change from the lower layers.

A method for obtaining an IP address of a terminal device comprising: an application function network element sends a first event registration request to a capability exposure network element, where the first event registration request is used to request to obtain, from the capability exposure network element, an IP address of a terminal device in a group, the application function network element receives a first event notification message from the capability exposure network element, where the first event notification message includes an IP address of a first terminal device in the group.

The subject matter described herein includes methods, systems, and computer readable media for monitoring machine type communications (MTC) device related information. One method occurring at an service capability exposure function (SCEF) node includes receiving a monitoring configuration request associated with an MTC device; sending, to a home subscriber server (HSS), a send routing information (SRI) request for requesting a serving network node associated with the MTC device; receiving, from the HSS, an SRI response indicating the serving network node associated with the MTC device; sending, to the serving network node, an insert subscriber data (ISD) request for requesting device related information; and receiving, from the serving network node, an ISD response including the device related information.

Method and apparatus in which a network exposure node receives, from a server, a first request for monitoring communication failure for at least one terminal device. The network exposure node obtains a connection identity (ID) for identifying a connection between the at least one terminal device and the server, based on the received first request. The network exposure node sends, to a subscriber management node or a policy decision node, a second request for monitoring communication failure for the at least one terminal device. The second request includes the obtained connection ID.

Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, are provided for mobile edge computing. In one aspect there is provided a method. The method may include receiving, for at least one user equipment, in indication of a tracking area update and/or an attachment to a radio access network; providing the indication about the at least one user equipment to at least a first mobile edge computing server and/or at a first mobile edge platform, the indication provided via a shared database and/or via signaling between the apparatus and at least the first mobile edge computing server and/or the first mobile edge platform; and receiving, from a mobile edge application, a request for location information for at least one user equipment in a zone covered by the apparatus. Related apparatus, systems, methods, and articles are also described.

The present disclosure provides a system for intelligently sampling information, such as location, activities, etc. on device. Sampling and uploading of background context is optimized using machine learning, such that battery usage is reduced, and quality of metrics based on the reported information is maintained or improved. A policy is generated based on the machine learning, the policy dictating how scanning and upload rates should change in response to conditions on the device.
