Abstract
The present application relates to devices and components including apparatuses, systems, and methods for technologies for non-seamless wireless local area access offload.
Claims13
A method comprising:
- accessing a parameter of a universal integrated circuit card (UICC) configuration;
- determining, based on the parameter, that a home public land mobile network (HPLMN) supports non-seamless wireless local area network offload (NSWO) in a 5th generation system (5GS);
- retrieving, from a universal subscriber identity module (USIM) on the UICC using a GET IDENTITY command, a subscription concealed identifier (SUCI) in a network access identifier (NAI) format, wherein the SUCI is converted from an international mobile subscriber identity (IMSI) format to the NAI format by the USIM;
- receiving, from a wireless local area network (WLAN) access point (AP), an extensible authentication protocol (EAP) identity request message;
- generating an EAP identity response message to include the SUCI in the NAI format;
- and
- outputting, for transmission, the EAP identity response message to the WLAN AP.

A universal integrated circuit card (UICC) comprising:
- memory circuitry to store a file with a parameter to indicate a home public land mobile network (HPLMN) supports non-seamless wireless local area network offload (NSWO) in a 5th generation system (5GS);
- and
- processing circuitry, coupled with the memory circuitry, to:
- receive a GET IDENTITY command from a mobile equipment (ME);
- and
- calculate, based on the parameter and the GET IDENTITY command, a subscription concealed identifier (SUCI) in a network access identifier (NAI) format, wherein the calculation of the SUCI into NAI format includes conversion of the SUCI from an international mobile subscriber identity (IMSI) format to the NAI format;
- and
- output, for transmission to the ME, at least the calculated SUCI in the NAI format.
