Abstract
A method performed by a Radio Access Management Function (RAMF) for handling connectivity to a data network is disclosed. The RAMF receives, from a UE, a request associated with connectivity to the data network for an application having a subscription ID. The RAMF selects, based on at least a part of the subscription ID, which Session Management Function the request should be forwarded to, and forwards the request to the selected Session Management Function.
Claims23
A method performed by a Radio Access Management Function, RAMF, for handling connectivity to a Data Network, DN, the method comprising:
- receiving, from a User Equipment, UE, a request associated with connectivity to the DN for an application having a subscription ID;
- selecting, based on at least a part of the subscription ID, which Session Management Function, SMF, the request should be forwarded to;
- forwarding the request to the selected SMF;
- and
- receiving, from the SMF, a temporary ID of at least a part of the subscription ID for the application, wherein the temporary ID is valid for a specific time period and invalid outside the specific time period.
A method performed by a Session Management Function, SMF, for handling connectivity to a Data Network, DN, the method comprising:
- receiving, from a Radio Access Management Function, RAMF, a request associated with connectivity to the DN for an application having a subscription ID;
- determining whether the request is accepted;
- and
- transmitting, to the RAMF, a temporary ID of at least a part of the subscription ID for the application, wherein the temporary ID is valid for a specific time period and invalid outside the specific time period.
An Access Management Function, RAMF, for handling connectivity to a Data Network, DN, the RAMF being adapted to:
- receive, from a User Equipment, UE, a request associated with connectivity to the DN for an application having a subscription ID;
- select, based on at least a part of the subscription ID, which Session Management Function, SMF, the request should be forwarded to;
- forward the request to the selected SMF;
- and
- receive, from the SMF, a temporary ID of at least a part of the subscription ID for the application, wherein the temporary ID is valid for a specific time period and invalid outside the specific time period.
