US 2026/0101273 A1 · SYSTEMS, METHODS, AND DEVICES FOR INDIRECT NETWORK SHARING

Abstract

Described herein are solutions for indirect network sharing. A user equipment (UE) can receive public land mobile network (PLMN) identifiers (IDs) corresponding to a hosting operator network and one or more participating operator networks. The UE can select a PLMN ID of a participating operator network and communicate with the hosting operator network to perform one or more procedures based on the PLMN ID of the participating operator network. Examples of such procedures can include an authentication procedure, registration procedure, a protocol data unit (PDU) session establishment procedure and subsequent data transfer to external networks. An access and mobility management function (AMF) of the hosting operator network acts as the serving AMF and can select one or more functions in the hosting operator network and the participating operator network to complete the procedures.
