Abstract
In one or more systems, methods, and/or devices, an enhanced residential gateway (eRG) may perform registration for 5GS and CPN identification. This may include a registration procedure for the eRG, and/or a service request procedure for the eRG. Additionally, in the eRG, the user plane of a wireless transmit receive unit (WTRU) may be handled. This may include a procedure for the eRG for WTRU registration, and/or PDU session establishment for local breakout in the CPN.
Claims12
A method implemented by an enhanced residential gateway (eRG), the method comprising:
- receiving configuration information, via an N1 interface, from a session management function (SMF), wherein the configuration information includes switching information that determines whether one or more packets from a first wireless transmit receive unit (WTRU) go to a Customer Premise Network (CPN) or a core network, wherein the eRG is operatively connected to the CPN, the core network, and the first WTRU;
- receiving a packet from the first WTRU, wherein the packet is related to a PDU session established by the first WTRU;
- and
- sending the packet to the CPN or the core network based on the configuration information.
An enhanced residential gateway (eRG), the eRG comprising:
- a processor operatively coupled to a transceiver, the processor and transceiver configured to receive configuration information, via an N1 interface, from a session management function (SMF), wherein the configuration information includes switching information that determines whether one or more packets from a first wireless transmit receive unit (WTRU) go to a Customer Premise Network (CPN) or a core network, wherein the eRG is operatively connected to the CPN, the core network, and the first WTRU;
- the processor and transceiver configured to receive a packet from the first WTRU, wherein the packet is related to a PDU session established by the first WTRU;
- and
- the processor and transceiver configured to send the packet to the CPN or the core network based on the configuration information.
