Abstract
Various aspects of the present disclosure relate to providing a network gateway, or gateway device, which can be utilized to integrate and interwork different types of IoT devices with an IoT Server or Application Function. The network gateway may be configured to manage the traffic between the IoT devices device and the IoT Server/Application by providing a secure connection and mapping via the gateway.
Claims20
A network gateway for wireless communication, comprising:
- at least one memory;
- and
- at least one processor coupled with the at least one memory and configured to cause the network gateway to:
- receive, from a first network function, User Equipment Route Selection Policy (URSP) rules for internet of things (IoT) device types associated with IoT devices,
- wherein the URSP rules configure the network gateway to map data traffic from the IoT devices to an established protocol data unit (PDU) session with a second network function;
- and
- map the data traffic between the IoT devices to a secure user plane session to the second network function based on the URSP rules for the IoT device types of the IoT devices.
A method performed by a network gateway, the method comprising:
- receiving, from a first network function, User Equipment Route Selection Policy (URSP) rules for internet of things (IoT) device types associated with IoT devices,
- wherein the URSP rules configure the network gateway to map data traffic from the IoT devices to an established protocol data unit (PDU) session with a second network function;
- and
- mapping the data traffic between the IoT devices to a secure user plane session to the second network function based on the URSP rules for the IoT device types of the IoT devices.
A network gateway for wireless communication, comprising:
- at least one memory;
- and
- at least one processor coupled with the at least one memory and configured to cause the network gateway to:
- receive a configuration that maps data traffic from local internet of things (IoT) devices to an established protocol data unit (PDU) session with an IoT Server;
- and
- map the data traffic between the local IoT devices to a secure user plane session to the IoT Server based on the configuration.
A method performed by a network gateway, the method comprising:
- receiving a configuration that maps data traffic from local internet of things (IoT) devices to an established protocol data unit (PDU) session with an IoT Server;
- and
- mapping the data traffic between the local IoT devices to a secure user plane session to the IoT Server based on the configuration.
