Abstract: A system and method for implementing Transport Layer Security (TLS) Routing Agent in an Internet Protocol Exchange (IPX) network for 5G core roaming. Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) connections are established between the TLS Routing Agent and consumer Security Edge Protection Proxy (cSEPP) and producer Security Edge Protection Proxy (pSEPP). TLS Routing Agent receives HTTP/2 CONNECT request from cSEPP. The TLS Routing Agent routes subsequent TLS handshake and HTTP/2 application messages to producer-SEPP transparently, so that the end-to-end TLS security is maintained. The TLS Routing Agent enables message firewall to protect mobile operator's SEPP. The TLS Routing Agent applies policy routing to route HTTP/2 message intelligently across the IPX network and improves TCP performance by dividing the long Round-Trip-Time between TCP end points into shorter segments.

Abstract: The embodiments herein relate to a method performed by a SMF, for handling local breakout of traffic. The SMF receives, from a PCF, policy information indicating traffic that should be routed via a second UPF to a second DN. The SMF provides, to a first UPF, a first traffic detection filter for detecting the traffic indicated in the received policy information. The SMF detects that there is traffic matching the first traffic detection filter. The SMF sets up, according to the policy information, a local breakout to the second UPF when the matching traffic has been detected. The setting-up comprises setting-up the second UPF.

Abstract: A system and method of Random-Access Response, RAR, messaging when a base station employs narrow beamforming. Multiple RAR messages are successively transmitted from the base station to a User Equipment, UE, before any response to a RAR message is received from the UE. Thus, despite any calibration mismatch between Uplink, UL, and Downlink, DL, beams in the beamformed system, a RAR message is not only received by the UE, but is received over the most-suitable DL beam for that UE. Each RAR message may contain a message-specific scheduling-delay indicator in the UL grant carried in the RAR message to provide an adjustable time delay for the UE's uplink transmission scheduled by the UL grant. Multiple RAR transmissions can schedule a single UL transmission at a specific time instance or different UL transmissions at different time intervals. The UE may report to the base station the best DL RAR transmission detected by the UE.
