Abstract
Aspects described herein relate to enabling data network devices to communicate using wireless network nodes, including user equipment (UE) and/or core network nodes, in a wireless network. The data network devices can have associated mechanisms for interfacing with the wireless network nodes, and the wireless network functions can facilitate transparent transfer of control information for the associated mechanisms.
Claims48
A method for reporting control information via wireless communication, comprising:
- obtaining, by a user equipment (UE), at least one of control information or status information for at least one of a mechanism used to attach an end node to the UE or the end node;
- and
- transmitting, via a radio access network, at least one of the control information or the status information to a network function in a wireless network for providing to an application that manages at least one of the mechanism or the end node.
A method for reporting control information via wireless communication, comprising:
- obtaining, by a first network function, at least one of control information or status information for a mechanism on the first network function used to communicate with an end node;
- and
- transmitting, via one or more core network nodes of a wireless network, at least one of the control information or the status information to a second network function for providing to an application that manages the mechanism.
A method for reporting control information via wireless communication, comprising:
- receiving, by a first network function and from an application via a data network, a communication for providing to a mechanism that attaches data network nodes to a wireless network via one or more UEs or one or more core network nodes;
- determining a mechanism to which the communication relates;
- where the communication relates to at least one of a first mechanism used to attach an end node to a user equipment (UE) or the end node, transmitting the communication to the first mechanism via a radio access network and the UE;
- and
- where the communication relates to a second mechanism used to attach a second network function to the data network, sending the communication to the second mechanism via one or more core network nodes of the wireless network.
An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:
- a transceiver;
- a memory configured to store instructions;
- and
- one or more processors coupled with the transceiver and the memory, wherein the one or more processors are configured to:
- obtain at least one of control information or status information for at least one of a mechanism used to attach an end node to the apparatus or the end node;
- and
- transmit, via a radio access network, at least one of the control information or the status information to a network function in a wireless network for providing to an application that manages at least one of the mechanism or the end node.

An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:
- a transceiver;
- a memory configured to store instructions;
- and
- one or more processors coupled with the transceiver and the memory, wherein the one or more processors are configured to:
- receive, by a first network function and from an application via a data network, a communication for providing to a mechanism that attaches data network nodes to a wireless network via one or more UEs or one or more core network nodes;
- determine a mechanism to which the communication relates;
- where the communication relates to at least one of a first mechanism used to attach an end node to a user equipment (UE) or the end node, transmit the communication to the first mechanism via a radio access network and the UE;
- and
- where the communication relates to a second mechanism used to attach a second network function to the data network, send the communication to the second mechanism via one or more core network nodes of the wireless network.
A computer-readable medium, comprising code executable by one or more processors for reporting control information via wireless communications, the code comprising code for:
- obtaining, by a user equipment (UE), at least one of control information or status information for at least one of a mechanism used to attach an end node to the UE or the end node;
- and
- transmitting, via a radio access network, at least one of the control information or the status information to a network function in a wireless network for providing to an application that manages at least one of the mechanism or the end node.
