Abstract: A method, for use in a network control element, is provide, the method comprising: allocating a network security function between a visited network and a home network of a user equipment, and controlling domain name system related signalling between an edge computing related network element in the visited network and a network element in the home network such that the domain name system related signalling is subjected to the network security function.

Abstract: A UE activates a PS Data Off service to block downlink and uplink services except the exempted services determined by the HPLMN. To activate PS Data Off, the UE sends an indication to the MME or SGSN, or additionally to a S-CSCF or an IMS network. The UE may receive a confirmation of the PS Data Off activation and/or a list of exempt services. The MME may contact the HSS to notify about the activation of the PS Data Off and receive indication of support of the service or list of exempted services and send the indication and/or packet filtering per PDN to PDN GW(s). The PDN GW may contact a PCRF to get policy rules. The HSS may provide a list of exempt services to the S-CSCF.

Abstract: There is provided an apparatus comprising at least one processor and at least one memory including a computer program code, the at least one memory and computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to: receive, at a first network repository function in a first network from a security edge protection proxy in a second network, a request for discovering one or more roaming hubs and/or security edge protection proxies in the first network; and send, from the first network repository function to the security edge protection proxy in the second network, a response comprising information identifying the one or more roaming hubs and/or security edge protection proxies in the first network and information identifying one or more further networks which can be reached via a respective roaming hub and/or security edge protection proxy in the first network.

Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for the assignment of a common edge application server (EAS) for ad-hoc groups of user equipment (UE). A method may include generating or updating binding information comprising a correlation between a group identifier of an ad-hoc group of user equipment (UE) and an edge application server (EAS) identifier assigned to the ad-hoc group, and storing, updating, and/or deleting the binding information, or causing the binding information to be stored, in a database.

Abstract: Water-dispersible, storage-stable pulverulent compositions of matter, well adopted as adjuvants for hydraulic binders used in the construction industry, comprise particulates of a water-insoluble film-forming vinyl and/or acrylic polymer, e.g., a vinyl ester, alkyl(meth)acrylate or vinylaromatic homopolymer or copolymer, containing from 0.5 to 20 parts by weight of at least one silicone, e.g., an alkali or alkaline earth metal organosiliconate or a liquid organopolysiloxane, per 100 parts by weight of such film-forming polymer.
