Abstract

In one embodiment, a method is performed. A device may receive a registration request from a user equipment (UE) device associated with a category. The device may receive a registration response from an access and mobility function (AMF). The registration response may comprise a group identifier associated with the category. The device may select resources from a resource pool based on the group identifier. The resource pool may be dedicated for use for emergency communications. The device may allocate the selected resources to the UE device.

Claims (32)

1. A method comprising:

receiving, from a user equipment (UE) device, a registration request that indicates a category, wherein the category comprises at least one of an emergency vehicle category or a roadside unit (RSU) category;

receiving a registration response from an access and mobility function (AMF), the registration response comprising a group identifier that indicates the category, wherein the group identifier is based on a subscription profile from a unified data management (UDM) module;

selecting resources from a resource pool based on the group identifier, the resource pool dedicated for use for emergency communications; and

allocating the selected resources to the UE device.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the registration request indicates whether the UE device supports a PC5 interface.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the selected resources comprise a plurality of resource blocks (Rbs).

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the UE device is associated with an identifier that is unique to the UE device.

5. The method of claim 2 , wherein the selected resources are allocated for vehicle to everything (V2X) communication using the PC5 interface.

6. The method of claim 4 , wherein the identifier comprises an international mobile subscriber identity (IMSI).

7. A system comprising:

a network interface in communication with a network;

a processor configured to execute computer readable instructions included on a non-transitory memory; and

a non-transitory memory including processor-readable instructions, that performs an operation when executed by the processor, the operation comprising:

receiving, from a user equipment (UE) device, a registration request that indicates a category, wherein the category comprises at least one of an emergency vehicle category or a roadside unit (RSU) category;

receiving a registration response from an access and mobility function (AMF), the registration response comprising a group identifier that indicates the category, wherein the group identifier is based on a subscription profile from a unified data management (UDM) module;

selecting resources from a resource pool based on the group identifier, the resource pool dedicated for use for emergency communications; and

allocating the selected resources to the UE device.

8. The system of claim 7 , wherein the registration request indicates whether the UE device supports a PC5 interface.

9. The system of claim 7 , wherein the selected resources comprise a plurality of resource blocks (Rbs).

10. The system of claim 7 , wherein the UE device is associated with an identifier that is unique to the UE device.

11. The system of claim 7 , wherein the system comprises an eNodeB device.

12. The system of claim 10 , wherein the identifier comprises an international mobile subscriber identity (IMSI).

13. A system comprising:

a network interface in communication with a network;

a processor configured to execute computer readable instructions included on a non-transitory memory; and

a non-transitory memory including processor-readable instructions, that performs an operation when executed by the processor, the operation comprising:

receiving, from a user equipment (UE) device, a registration request that indicates a category, wherein the category comprises at least one of an emergency vehicle category or a roadside unit (RSU) category;

receiving a subscription profile from a unified data management (UDM) module, the subscription profile comprising a group identifier that indicates the category; and

sending the group identifier to an eNodeB device, wherein the group identifier is associated with a resource pool dedicated for use for emergency communications.

14. The system of claim 13 , wherein the registration request indicates whether the UE device supports a PC5 interface.

15. The system of claim 13 , wherein the subscription profile comprises a quality of service (QoS) parameter.
