Authorization, creation, and management of personal networks
A wireless transmit/receive unit may request, from a core network, authorization for creating one or more personal networks of one or more devices. After being granted authorization, the UE may be enabled to create a personal network and to cause a PDU session for the personal network to be established with the core network. The UE may enable members of the personal network to send data associated with the personal network via the PDU session.
1. A method performed by a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU), the method comprising:
receiving a message comprising policy information associated with a personal network, wherein the policy information comprises one or more data network names (DNNs), one or more single network slice selection assistance information (S-NSSAIs), and one or more personal network identifiers;
establishing a protocol data unit (PDU) session for the personal network using a DNN of the one or more DNNs, an S-NSSAI of the one or more S-NSSAIs, and a personal network identifier of the one or more personal network identifiers, wherein the PDU session provides access to the network for a plurality of devices on the personal network;
receiving data from a device of the plurality of devices on the personal network; and
sending the data to the network using the established PDU session based on the device being a part of the personal network.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the PDU session is established by sending a PDU session establishment request message to the network.
3. The method of claim 2 , further comprising receiving a PDU session establishment accept response from the network in response to the PDU session establishment request message.
4. The method of claim 2 , wherein the PDU session establishment request message comprises the personal network identifier of the personal network.
5. The method of claim 2 , wherein the PDU session establishment request message comprises the DNN.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the PDU session established for the personal network is associated with a particular S-NSSAI/DNN combination.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the policy information further comprises one or more of:
one or more user identifiers for use in provisioning one or more non-3GPP devices of the plurality of devices of the personal network; or
an indication of a maximum number of personal networks authorized for the WTRU.
8. The method of claim 7 , further comprising provisioning one or more non-3GPP devices, of the one or more devices of the personal network, with the one or more user identifiers.
9. The method of claim 1 , further comprising sending to at least one of the plurality of devices on the personal network, at least a portion of the policy information associated with the personal network.
10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the policy information is associated with a plurality of personal networks.
11. A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) comprising:
comprising a processor configured to:
receive a message comprising policy information associated with a personal network, wherein the policy information comprises one or more data network names (DNNs), one or more single network slice selection assistance information (S-NSSAIs), and one or more personal network identifiers;
establish a protocol data unit (PDU) session for the personal network using a DNN of the one or more DNNs, an S-NSSAI of the one or more S-NSSAIs, and a personal network identifier of the one or more personal network identifiers, wherein the PDU session provides access to the network for a plurality of devices on the personal network;
receive data from a device of the plurality of devices on the personal network; and
send the data to the network using the established PDU session based on the device being a part of the personal network.
12. The WTRU of claim 11 , wherein the PDU session is established by the processor being configured to send a PDU session establishment request message to the network.
13. The WTRU of claim 12 , wherein the processor is further configured to receive a PDU session establishment accept response from the network in response to the PDU session establishment request message.
14. The WTRU of claim 12 , wherein the PDU session establishment request message comprises the personal network identifier of the personal network.
15. The WTRU of claim 12 , wherein the PDU session establishment request message comprises the DNN.
16. The WTRU of claim 11 , wherein the PDU session established for the personal network is associated with a particular S-NSSAI/DNN combination.
17. The WTRU of claim 11 , wherein the policy information further comprises one or more of:
one or more user identifiers for use in provisioning one or more non-3GPP devices of the plurality of devices of the personal network; or
an indication of a maximum number of personal networks authorized for the WTRU.
18. The WTRU of claim 17 , wherein the processor is further configured to provision one or more non-3GPP devices, of the one or more devices of the personal network, with the one or more user identifiers.
19. The WTRU of claim 11 , wherein the processor is further configured to send to at least one of the plurality of devices on the personal network, at least a portion of the policy information associated with the personal network.
20. The WTRU of claim 11 , wherein the policy information is associated with a plurality of personal networks.
