Abstract

Methods, devices, and systems for personal internet of things (PIN) networking are provided. A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) is described having circuitry for: sending a PIN policy request indicating a PIN manager capability to a core network (CN); receiving a PIN policy from the CN indicating authorized PIN types; sending a PIN connectivity policy indicating a PIN gateway (GW) capability of the WTRU; receiving PIN connectivity policy information that indicates traffic forwarding parameters, a data network name (DNN), and slice information from the CN; receiving a PIN connectivity establishment request from a PIN element; establishing a connection with the CN based on the DNN and the slice information; and forwarding data between the CN and the PIN element, via the connection, based on the traffic forwarding parameters.

Claims20

Dependent claims

A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) comprising circuitry configured to:

send a personal internet of things (PIN) policy request to a core network (CN), wherein the PIN policy request indicates a PIN manager capability;
receive a PIN policy from the CN, which indicates authorized PIN types;
send a personal internet of things (PIN) connectivity policy request to the CN, wherein the PIN connectivity policy request indicates a PIN gateway (GW) capability of the WTRU;
receive PIN connectivity policy information from the CN, based on the PIN GW capability, wherein the PIN connectivity policy information indicates traffic forwarding parameters, a data network name (DNN), slice information, and an indication whether the WTRU can provide local connectivity, core network connectivity, or both;
receive a PIN connectivity establishment request from a PIN element;
based on the PIN connectivity establishment request from the PIN element and based on a condition that the policy PIN connectivity policy information indicates that the WTRU can provide core network connectivity, establish a connection with the CN based on the DNN and the slice information;
and
forward data between the CN and the PIN element, via the connection, based on the traffic forwarding parameters.
