Network service exposure for service and session continuity

Abstract

The present application is at least directed an apparatus including a non-transitory memory and a processor that is operably coupled to the non-transitory memory for managing a server transition with a service for user equipment (UE). The processor is configured to perform the instructions of receiving, at a core network, a first request from a first server to switch responsibility of the service to a second server to communicate with the UE. The processor is also configured to perform the instructions of determining a first core network terminating point needs updating to a second core network terminating point. The processor is further configured to perform the instructions of selecting the second core network terminating point sends a result of the determination to the user equipment. The processor is still further configured to perform the instructions of sending, to the service, a notification the user equipment is associated with the second core network terminating point. The processor is still yet even further configured to perform the instructions of transmitting, to the UE, a second message notifying the UE characteristics of a session have changed.
