Abstract: A wireless communication network delivers status information for User Equipment (UE) upon request. A network controller exchanges registration signaling with the UE and exchanges authentication signaling for the UE with a Unified Data Management (UDM). The UDM exchanges the authentication signaling with the network controller and responsively transfers a UDM request for the UE status information to the network controller. The network controller determines the UE status information and transfers the UE status information to the UDM in response to the UDM request. The UDM receive the UE status information from the network controller and transfers the UE status information to a Unified Data Repository (UDR). The UDR receives the UE status information from the UDM and receives a status request for the UE from a network element. The UDR responsively transfers the UE status information for the UE to the network element.

Abstract: A wireless communication network deregisters network functions. In the wireless communication, a network data system receives a deregistration command that indicates a wireless User Equipment (UE) and forwards the deregistration command to a Unified Data Management (UDM). The UDM receives the indication and determines a Data Network Name (DNN) for the wireless UE. The UDM identifies a network controller and a session controller for the wireless UE based on the DNN. The UDM transfers deregistration notifications to the network controller and session controller. The UDM receives a deregistration acknowledgement from the network controller. The UDM directs the network data system to remove stored session data for the session controller. The network data system receives the direction from the UDM and responsively removes stored session data for the session controller.

Abstract: A wireless communication system serves a wireless User Equipment (UE) over a wireless network slice. A serving wireless communication network selects a Uniform Data Repository (UDR) in a target wireless communication network based on the wireless network slice. The serving wireless communication network transfers an information request for the wireless UE across a wireless communication network boundary to the selected UDR in the target wireless communication network. In response to the information request, the selected UDR in the target wireless communication network transfers UE information for the wireless UE across the wireless communication network boundary to the serving wireless communication network. The wireless network slice in the serving wireless communication network serves the wireless UE based on the UE information.
