Policies related to non-public networks
Apparatuses, methods, and systems are disclosed for policies related to non-public networks. One method includes receiving, at an access and mobility management function, a request to register a device. The method includes, in response to receiving the request to register the device, transmitting, by the access and mobility management function, a user equipment subscription data request to a unified data management. The method includes, in response to transmitting the user equipment subscription data request to the unified data management, receiving a user equipment subscription data response including a first identifier wherein the first identifier identities a stand-alone non-public network. The method includes performing an access and mobility management policy association establishment with a policy control function based on the user equipment subscription data. The method includes transparently transmitting by the policy control function a policy based on the first identifier.
1 . A method performed by an access and mobility management function (AMF) that is part of a public land mobile network (PLMN) and not part of a stand-alone non-public network (NPN), the method comprising:
receiving a request to register a user equipment (UE) from the UE;
in response to receiving the request to register the UE, transmitting a UE subscription data request to a unified data management (UDM);
in response to transmitting the UE subscription data request to the UDM, receiving a UE subscription data response comprising a first identifier, wherein the first identifier identifies the stand-alone NPN;
performing an access and mobility management policy association establishment with a policy control function (PCF) based on the UE subscription data; and
after performing the access and mobility management policy association establishment, transparently receiving a UE policy section identifier list comprising the first identifier from the UE.
2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the UE subscription data is from a unified data repository.
3 . An access and mobility management function (AMF) that is part of a public land mobile network (PLMN) and not part of a stand-alone non-public network (NPN), the AMF comprising:
at least one memory; and
at least one processor coupled with the at least one memory and configured to cause the AMF to:
receive a request to register a user equipment (UE) from the UE;
in response to receiving the request to register the UE, transmit a UE subscription data request to a unified data management (UDM);
in response to transmitting the UE subscription data request to the UDM, receive a UE subscription data response comprising a first identifier, wherein the first identifier identifies the stand-alone NPN;
perform an access and mobility management policy association establishment with a policy control function (PCF) based on the UE subscription data; and
after performing the access and mobility management policy association establishment, transparently receive a UE policy section identifier comprising the first identifier from the UE.
4 . The AMF of claim 3 , wherein the UE subscription data is from a unified data repository.
5 . A method performed by an access and mobility management function (AMF) that is part of a public land mobile network (PLMN) and not part of a stand-alone non-public network (NPN), the method comprising:
receiving a request to register a user equipment (UE) from the UE;
in response to receiving the request to register the UE, transmitting a UE subscription data request to a unified data management (UDM); and
in response to transmitting the UE subscription data request to the UDM, receiving a UE subscription data response comprising a first identifier, wherein the first identifier identifies the stand-alone NPN.
6 . The method of claim 5 , further comprising performing an access and mobility management policy association establishment with a policy control function (PCF) based on the UE subscription data.
7 . The method of claim 6 , further comprising, after performing the access and mobility management policy association establishment, transparently receiving a UE policy section identifier comprising the first identifier from the UE.
8 . The method of claim 5 , wherein the UE subscription data is from a unified data repository.
9 . An access and mobility management function (AMF) that is part of a public land mobile network (PLMN) and not part of a stand-alone non-public network (NPN), the AMF comprising:
at least one memory; and
at least one processor coupled with the at least one memory and configured to cause the AMF to:
receive a request to register a user equipment (UE) from the UE;
in response to receiving the request to register the UE, transmit a UE subscription data request to a unified data management (UDM); and
in response to transmitting the UE subscription data request to the UDM, receive a UE subscription data response comprising a first identifier, wherein the first identifier identifies the stand-alone NPN.
10 . The AMF of claim 9 , wherein the at least one processor is configured to cause the AMF to perform an access and mobility management policy association establishment with a policy control function (PCF) based on the UE subscription data.
11 . The AMF of claim 10 , wherein the at least one processor is configured to cause the AMF to, after performing the access and mobility management policy association establishment, transparently receive a UE policy section identifier comprising the first identifier from the UE.
12 . The AMF of claim 9 , wherein the UE subscription data is from a unified data repository.
