    Abstract: In one illustrative example, a controller for use in a private mobile network may determine network service requirements for an industrial device. The controller may select, from a set of network slices, a subset of network slices having network service requirement configurations that most closely support the network service requirements. Each network slice of the set may be associated with an affinity ranking value that is indicative of a service performance of the network slice for industrial device operation in a cell or a zone associated with a zone or security level value assigned to the industrial device. The controller may identify, from the subset of network slices, a selected network slice associated with a best affinity ranking value for the zone or security level value assigned to the industrial device. The controller may assign the selected network slice and associated service parameters for the communications of the industrial device.

    Abstract: In one illustrative example, a user plane function (UPF) configured for use in a private 5G network of an enterprise may receive, from a user device, a domain name system (DNS) query associated with an application; send, to a DNS server, one or more corresponding DNS queries based on the DNS query; receive, from the DNS server, one or more DNS query responses which include an IP address and metadata including an application identifier for the application; and send, to a control plane function, a message for reporting which includes the application identifier. In response, a dedicated Quality of Service (QoS) Flow may be created for traffic for the application according to a selected QoS policy associated with the application identifier. For obtaining the metadata, the UPF may interact with a DNS server configured with Extension mechanisms for DNS (EDNS) or a DNS as Authoritative Source (DNS-AS) mechanism.

    Abstract: A method is performed at a server that manages embedded subscriber identity module (eSIM) profiles. The method includes, when a user equipment that belongs to a global enterprise network relocates from a first locale to a second locale in which a first private network and a second private network of the global enterprise network are located, wherein the user equipment includes a locale-specific first eSIM profile that includes a first non-public network identifier of the first private network, receiving, from the user equipment over a network in the second locale, information that indicates the user equipment is in the second locale. The method further includes identifying the second private network based on the information, and generating a locale-specific second eSIM profile that includes a second non-public network identifier for the second private network. The method includes configuring the user equipment with the locale-specific second eSIM profile.

    Abstract: An approach to automatically provision a data service name (APN or DNN) when an endpoint device connects to a mobile network is described. A methodology includes receiving from an endpoint device a first request to connect to a mobile network, the first request including an identifier of the endpoint device and a default data service name, responsive to detecting the default data service name, determining, from the identifier of the endpoint device, a group to which the endpoint device belongs along with a corresponding group identifier for the group, querying a repository with the group identifier, and receiving, in response, an assigned data service name that is associated with the group identifier, providing the assigned data service name to the endpoint device, and receiving from the endpoint device a second request to connect to the mobile network, the second request including the assigned data service name.

    Abstract: In one example, a charging filtering function may obtain a request for one or more rules that control whether or when one or more charging data records associated with a user equipment are to be provided to one or more billing systems. The request includes an identification of the user equipment. Based on the identification of the user equipment, the charging filtering function may identify the one or more rules. The charging filtering function may provide the one or more rules to control whether or when the one or more charging data records associated with the user equipment are to be provided to the one or more billing systems.

    Abstract: In one illustrative example, a user plane function (UPF) configured for use in a private 5G network of an enterprise may receive, from a user device, a domain name system (DNS) query associated with an application; send, to a DNS server, one or more corresponding DNS queries based on the DNS query; receive, from the DNS server, one or more DNS query responses which include an IP address and metadata including an application identifier for the application; and send, to a control plane function, a message for reporting which includes the application identifier. In response, a dedicated Quality of Service (QoS) Flow may be created for traffic for the application according to a selected QoS policy associated with the application identifier. For obtaining the metadata, the UPF may interact with a DNS server configured with Extension mechanisms for DNS (EDNS) or a DNS as Authoritative Source (DNS-AS) mechanism.
