Abstract

A device may receive, from a first network device, an authentication request that requests authentication of the device, and may provide, to the first network device, an authentication response that includes the authentication of the device. The device may provide, to the first network device and based on the authentication response, a PDU session establishment request that requests establishment of a PDU session for customer premises equipment, and may receive, from the first network device and based on the PDU session establishment request, a PDU session resource setup request that requests a resource to be established for the PDU session. The device may provide, to the first network device and based on the PDU session resource setup request, a PDU session resource setup response indicating that the resource is a GTP tunnel, and may establish the GTP tunnel with a second network device.

Claims (68)

1 . A method, comprising:

receiving, by a device, from a first network device, and based on a dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) discover request, an identity request that requests identification of the device;

receiving, by the device, from the first network device, and based on providing an identity response that includes the identification of the device, an authentication request that requests authentication of the device;

providing, by the device, to the first network device, and based on the authentication of the device, a protocol data unit (PDU) session establishment request,

wherein a PDU session between a second network device and a third network device is established based on the PDU session establishment request; and

receiving, by the device and from the first network device and based on the PDU session establishment request, a PDU session resource setup request that requests a resource to be established for a PDU session.

2 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

providing, to the first network device and based on the PDU session resource setup request, a PDU session resource setup response indicating that the resource is a general packet radio service (GPRS) tunneling protocol (GTP) tunnel.

3 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

requesting that the second network device modify the PDU session,

wherein the third network device and the second network device modify the PDU session based on the request.

4 . The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the PDU session establishment request includes data requesting allocation of a PDU session identifier and a procedure transaction identity (PTI).

5 . The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the PDU session establishment request includes:

data identifying a PDU session type, or

data identifying an extended protocol configuration option with a container identifier of non-access stratum-based internet protocol allocation.

6 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

providing a DHCP offer that offers utilization of the device as a DHCP server.

7 . A device, comprising:

one or more memories; and

one or more processors to:

receive, from a first network device, an identity request that requests identification of the device;

receive, from the first network device, and based on providing an identity response that includes the identification of the device, an authentication request that requests authentication of the device;

provide, to the first network device, and based on the authentication of the device, a protocol data unit (PDU) session establishment request,

wherein a PDU session between a second network device and a third network device is established based on the PDU session establishment request; and

receive, from the first network device and based on the PDU session establishment request, a PDU session resource setup request that requests a resource to be established for a PDU session.

8 . The device of claim 7 ,

wherein the one or more processors are further to:

provide, to the first network device and based on the PDU session resource setup request, a PDU session resource setup response indicating that the resource is a general packet radio service (GPRS) tunneling protocol (GTP) tunnel.

9 . The device of claim 7 ,

wherein the one or more processors are further to:

request that the second network device modify the PDU session,

wherein the third network device and the second network device modify the PDU session based on the request.

10 . The device of claim 7 ,

wherein the PDU session establishment request includes data requesting allocation of a PDU session identifier.

11 . The device of claim 7 ,

wherein the PDU session establishment request includes data identifying a PDU session type.

12 . The device of claim 7 ,

wherein the one or more processors, to receive the identity request that requests identification of the device, are to:

receive the identity request that requests identification of the device based on a dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) discover request; and

wherein the one or more processors are further to:

provide a DHCP offer that offers utilization of the device as a DHCP server.

13 . A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions, the instructions comprising:

one or more instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a device, cause the one or more processors to:

receive, from a first network device, an identity request that requests identification of the device;

provide, to the first network device, and based on authentication of the device, a protocol data unit (PDU) session establishment request,

wherein a PDU session between a second network device and a third network device is established based on the PDU session establishment request; and

receive, from the first network device and based on the PDU session establishment request, a PDU session resource setup request that requests a resource to be established for the PDU session.

14 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 13 ,

wherein the one or more instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the one or more processors to:

receive, based on providing an identity response that includes the identification of the device, an authentication request; and

provide to the first network device, and based on the authentication request, an authentication response that includes the authentication of the device.

15 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 13 ,

wherein the one or more instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the one or more processors to:

provide, to the first network device and based on the PDU session resource setup request, a PDU session resource setup response indicating that the resource is a general packet radio service (GPRS) tunneling protocol (GTP) tunnel.

16 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 13 ,

wherein the one or more instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the one or more processors to:

request that the second network device modify the PDU session,

wherein the third network device and the second network device modify the PDU session based on the request.

17 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 13 ,

wherein the PDU session establishment request includes data requesting allocation of a PDU session identifier and a procedure transaction identity (PTI).

18 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 13 ,

wherein the PDU session establishment request includes data identifying an extended protocol configuration option with a container identifier of non-access stratum-based internet protocol allocation.

19 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

providing, to the first network device, and based on the authentication request, an authentication response that includes the authentication of the device.

20 . The device of claim 7 , wherein the PDU session establishment request includes:

data identifying an extended protocol configuration option with a container identifier of non-access stratum-based internet protocol allocation.
