Abstract
There is provided mechanisms for attachment of a wireless device to an MNO. A method is performed by the wireless device. The method comprises providing an authorization token to an AMF node of the MNO in conjunction with authenticating with the AMF node. The method comprises completing attachment to the MNO upon successful validation of the authorization token by the AMF node.
Claims25
A method for attachment of a wireless device to a mobile network operator, MNO, the method being performed by the wireless device, the method comprising:
- providing an authorization token to an access and mobility management function, AMF, node of the MNO in conjunction with authenticating with the AMF node;
- and
- completing attachment to the MNO upon successful validation of the authorization token by the AMF node.
A method for attachment of a wireless device to a mobile network operator, MNO, the method being performed by an access and mobility management function, AMF, node of the MNO, the method comprising:
- obtaining an authorization token from the wireless device in conjunction with the wireless device authenticating with the AMF node;
- validating the authorization token in order to verify access authorization of the wireless device;
- and
- allowing the wireless device to complete attachment to the MNO upon successful validation of the authorization token.
(canceled)
A wireless device for attachment to a mobile network operator, MNO, the wireless device comprising:
- processing circuitry;
- and
- a storage medium storing instructions that, when executed by the processing circuitry, cause the wireless device to:
- provide an authorization token to an access and mobility management function, AMF, node of the MNO in conjunction with authenticating with the AMF node;
- and
- complete attachment to the MNO upon successful validation of the authorization token by the AMF node.

An access and mobility management function, AMF, node for attachment of a wireless device to a mobile network operator, MNO, the AMF node comprising:
- processing circuitry;
- and
- a storage medium storing instructions that, when executed by the processing circuitry, cause the AMF node to:
- obtain an authorization token from the wireless device in conjunction with the wireless device authenticating with the AMF node;
- validate the authorization token in order to verify access authorization of the wireless device;
- and
- allow the wireless device to complete attachment to the MNO upon successful validation of the authorization token.
(canceled)
A computer program product for attachment of a wireless device to a mobile network operator, MNO, the computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer readable medium storing computer code which, when run on processing circuitry of the wireless device, causes the wireless device to:
- provide an authorization token to an access and mobility management function, AMF, node of the MNO in conjunction with authenticating with the AMF node;
- and
- complete attachment to the MNO upon successful validation of the authorization token by the AMF node.
