Shared data support (SDS) rules selection and enforcement in a wireless communication network

A wireless communication network to select Shared Data Support (SDS) rules for a user device, the wireless communication network comprising:

• a network controller to receive a registration request transferred by the user device for service on the wireless communication network and in response, transfer a subscription data request to a network data system;
• the network data system to receive the subscription data request, access a subscriber profile for the user device, and retrieve subscription data for the user device;
• the network data system to determine a device type for the wireless user device, select the SDS rules for the wireless user device based on the device type, and select shared subscription data for the user device based on the SDS rules;
• the network data system to transfer the subscription data and the shared subscription data to the network controller;
• and
• the network controller to receive the subscription data and the shared subscription data, generate device context based on the subscription data and the shared subscription data, and serve the wireless user device based on the device context.

A wireless communication network to select Shared Data Support (SDS) rules for a User Equipment (UE), the wireless communication network comprising:

• an Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF) to receive a registration request transferred by the UE and in response, transfer a subscription data request to a Unified Data Management (UDM);
• the UDM to receive the subscription data request, access a subscriber profile for the UE stored by a Unified Data Repository (UDR), and retrieve subscription data for the UE from the UDR;
• the UDM to determine a Permanent Equipment Identifier Type Allocation Code (PEI TAC) for the UE, select the SDS rules for the UE based on the PEI TAC, and retrieve shared subscription data for the UE from the UDR based on the SDS rules;
• the UDM to transfer the subscription data and the shared subscription data to the AMF;
• and
• the AMF to receive the subscription data and the shared subscription data, generate UE context based on the subscription data and the shared subscription data, and serve the UE based on the UE context.
