    Abstract: Techniques are provided to use a trusted identity and location to select the most appropriate point of interconnect to edge application execution environments as well as a specific edge application execution environment. The techniques may involve obtaining, on behalf of a wireless mobile device, an access identifier that indicates an access location of the wireless mobile device that is wirelessly connected to wireless network infrastructure equipment operated by an access network provider that is associated with, and a member of, a federation of access network providers. The access location for the wireless mobile device is derived based on the access identifier, and the access location is used to select an edge resource to be used by the wireless mobile device.

    Abstract: Techniques are described to provide to provide service allocation across multi-managed heterogeneous networks. In one example, a method includes determining, by an application network policy controller, service information for an application, wherein the application communicates with an application server. The method may further include identifying one or more network domains of a plurality of network domains to provide network connectivity between the application and the application server based, at least in part, on service qualifiers and context information for the plurality of network domains and the service information for the application; generating an application policy for the application, wherein the application policy identifies, at least in part, the one or more network domains to provide network connectivity between the application and the application server; and communicating the application policy to the one or more identified network domains to provide network connectivity between the application and the application server.

    Abstract: Techniques are described to provide for authentication and subscription management that are decoupled from a Home Subscriber Server (HSS). In one example, a method includes providing a device profile at an authentication function, wherein the device profile comprises identification information for a device for a plurality of access types including a first identifier for the device associated with a cellular access and a second identifier for the device associated with a wireless local area network access; obtaining an access request message associated with the device for the cellular access, wherein the access request message comprises the first identifier and an authentication attribute; generating authentication information for authenticating the device for the cellular access based, at least in part, on the authentication attribute; and generating, for transmission, an access accept message for the cellular access, wherein the access accept message comprises the first identifier, the second identifier, and the authentication information.

    Abstract: In one illustrative example, a mobility node (e.g. an SMF) may receive a message which indicates a request for creating a session for a user equipment (UE). A user plane function (UPF) instance for the session may be selected based on a set of parameters. The set of parameters may include one or more location(s) of one or more multi-access edge computing (MEC) resources and applications of interest for the UE. Location data associated with the MEC resources and applications may be determined from server addresses obtained from UPF processing of domain name server (DNS) queries associated with the applications. In preferred implementations, the server addresses are client subnet location-dependent server addresses obtained from client subnet-based DNS queries. The server addresses or location data derived therefrom may be regularly submitted to the SMF for improved UPF selection based on locations of MEC resources and applications.

    Abstract: Presented herein are techniques associated with replicating an OpenRoaming™ policy federation in a Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) network environment. For example, techniques herein provide a roaming policy federation architecture for a 3GPP network environment. In one example a method is provided that may include encoding at least one multi-bit roaming policy for an identity provider and a plurality of bit-wise combinatorial permutations of the at least one multi-bit roaming policy within each of a plurality of multi-bit 3GPP broadcast identifiers, wherein the at least one multi-bit roaming policy includes bit-wise roaming policy information for the identity provider and configuring the multi-bit 3GPP broadcast identifiers for a mobile device associated with the identity provider, wherein the multi-bit 3GPP broadcast identifiers indicate that the mobile device is to connect to a visited radio access network associated with a local Internet Protocol (IP) access service or a home routed access service.

    Abstract: Presented herein are techniques to provide a network-initiated group disconnect for wireless devices belonging to one or more device group(s). In one example, a method may include determining, by a control element of a network, that at least one device group is to be disconnected from the network, wherein the at least one device group comprises a plurality of wireless devices connected to the network; identifying one or more access network radios through which the plurality of wireless devices are connected to the network; and triggering a disconnect command for the at least one device group to be broadcast from each of the one or more access network radios to trigger the plurality of wireless devices to disconnect from the network.
