Abstract
A method includes generating a payload container information element comprising two or more payload entries at user equipment in a communication system, and sending the payload container information element from the user equipment to at least one network element in the communication system. Another method includes receiving a payload container information element comprising two or more payload entries at a network function in a communication system from user equipment in the communication system, and decoding the two or more payload entries of the payload container information element into two or more individual payloads at the network function.
Claims20
An apparatus comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- a memory storing one or more software programs executed by the at least one processor to cause the apparatus to:
- generate a payload container information element and a payload container type information element, wherein the payload container information element comprises two or more payload entries,
- wherein the payload container information element comprises payload container contents, the payload container contents comprising an indication of a number of entries and a plurality of payload container entries including the two or more payload entries, and
- wherein the payload container type information element comprises an identification of a payload type, the identification of the payload type comprising an identification of multiple payloads to designate inclusion of the two or more payload entries in the payload container information element;
- and
- cause the payload container information element and the payload container type information element to be sent as part of a non-access stratum transport procedure to least one network element in a communication system.
5 more elements
A method comprising:
- generating a payload container information element and a payload container type information element, wherein the payload container information element comprises two or more payload entries,
- wherein the payload container information element comprises payload container contents, and wherein the payload container contents comprise an indication of a number of entries and a plurality of payload container entries including the two or more payload entries, and
- wherein the payload container type information element comprises an identification of a payload type, the identification of the payload type comprising an identification of multiple payloads to designate inclusion of the two or more payload entries in the payload container information element;
- and
- causing the payload container information element and the payload container type information element to be sent as part of a non-access stratum transport procedure to at least one network element of a communication system.
2 more elements
An apparatus comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- a memory storing one or more software programs executed by the at least one processor to cause the apparatus to:
- receive a payload container information element and a payload container type information element, wherein the payload container information element comprises two or more payload entries as part of a non-access stratum transport procedure from at least one network element of a communication system,
- wherein the payload container information element comprises payload container contents, the payload container contents comprising an indication of a number of entries and a plurality of payload container entries including the two or more payload entries, and
- wherein the payload container type information element comprises an identification of a payload type, the identification of the payload type comprising an identification of multiple payloads to designate inclusion of the two or more payload entries in the payload container information element;
- and
- decode the two or more payload entries of the payload container information element into two or more individual payloads.
