Abstract

An approach is described for a method for a fifth generation (5G) wireless communication or a new radio (NR) system that includes the following steps. The method includes receiving, by a source device from a UE, a registration request message indicating the UE is capable of a vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication. The method further includes determining, by the source device, the UE is authorized for a V2X service, wherein the V2X service comprises the V2X communication. The method further includes transmitting, by the source device to the UE, a registration accept message based on determining the UE is authorized for the V2X service.

Claims (43)

1. A method comprising:

receiving, by a source device, from a user equipment (UE), a registration request message indicating the UE is capable of a vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication;

determining, by the source device, the UE is authorized for a V2X service, wherein the V2X service comprises the V2X communication;

determining whether a network supports the V2X communication, wherein the source device is associated with the network;

transmitting, by the source device, to the UE, a registration accept message based on determining the UE is authorized for the V2X service and based on determining that the network supports the V2X communication; and

ignoring, by the source device, the registration request message from the UE based on determining that the network does not support the V2X communication, wherein the ignoring includes refraining from transmitting the registration accept message to the UE.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the determining is based on subscription information associated with the UE.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the registration accept message indicates the UE is authorized for the V2X service.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the registration accept message is a non-access stratum (NAS) message.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the NAS message is a down-link (DL) NAS transport message.

6. The method of claim 1 further comprising:

determining whether the source device supports the V2X communication; and

determining whether the UE is authorized for the V2X service based on determining that the source device supports the V2X communication, wherein the determination of whether the UE is authorized for V2X service is based on UE subscription information received from Unified Data Management.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the source device comprises an access and mobility management function (AMF).

8. A source device comprising:

radio front end circuitry; and

processor circuitry coupled to the radio front end circuitry, which is configured to:

receive, from a user equipment (UE), a registration request message indicating the UE is capable of a vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication;

determine the UE is authorized for a V2X service, wherein the V2X service comprises the V2X communication;

determine whether a network supports the V2X communication, wherein the source device is associated with the network;

transmit a registration accept message to the UE based on determining the UE is authorized for the V2X service and based on determining that the network supports the V2X communication; and

ignoring, by the source device, the registration request message from the UE based on determining that the network does not support the V2X communication, wherein the ignoring includes refraining from transmitting the registration accept message to the UE.

9. The source device of claim 8 , wherein the determining is based on subscription information associated with the UE.

10. The source device of claim 8 , wherein the registration accept message indicates the UE is authorized for the V2X service.

11. The source device of claim 8 , wherein the registration accept message is a non-access stratum (NAS) message.

12. The source device of claim 11 , wherein the NAS message is a down-link (DL) NAS transport message.

13. The source device of claim 8 , wherein the processor circuitry is further configured to:

determine whether the source device supports the V2X communication; and

determine whether the UE is authorized for the V2X service based on determining that the source device supports the V2X communication, wherein the determination of whether the UE is authorized for V2X service is based on UE subscription information received from Unified Data Management.

14. The source device of claim 8 , wherein the source device comprises an access and mobility management function (AMF).

15. A non-transitory computer-readable media comprising instructions to cause a source device, upon execution of the instructions by one or more processors of the source device, to perform one of more elements of a method, the method comprising:

receiving, from a user equipment (UE), a registration request message indicating the UE is capable of a vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication;

determining the UE is authorized for a V2X service, wherein the V2X service comprises the V2X communication;

determining whether a network supports the V2X communication, wherein the source device is associated with the network;

transmitting a registration accept message to the UE based on determining the UE is authorized for the V2X service and based on determining that the network supports the V2X communication; and

ignoring, by the source device, the registration request message from the UE based on determining that the network does not support the V2X communication, wherein the ignoring includes refraining from transmitting the registration accept message to the UE.

16. The non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 15 , wherein the determining is based on subscription information associated with the UE.

17. The non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 15 , wherein the registration accept message indicates the UE is authorized for the V2X service.

18. The non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 15 , wherein the registration accept message is a non-access stratum (NAS) message.

19. The non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 18 , wherein the NAS message is a down-link (DL) NAS transport message.

20. The non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 15 , wherein the method further comprising:

determining whether the source device supports the V2X communication; and

determining whether the UE is authorized for the V2X service based on determining that the source device supports the V2X communication, wherein the determination of whether the UE is authorized for V2X service is based on UE subscription information received from Unified Data Management.
