  • Publication number: 20240107384
    Abstract: Various embodiments of the present disclosure provide methods and apparatuses for service management. A method performed by a session management function includes receiving a first message including fallback information for a terminal device from an access and mobility management function. The fallback information includes a fallback type. The method further includes determining whether data buffering for the terminal device is required based on the fallback information. The method further includes, in response to a determination that the data buffering for the terminal device is required, sending a second message including a buffering indication to a user plane function, wherein the buffering indication indicates the user plane function to buffer the data for the terminal device.

  • Publication number: 20190037339
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide methods, apparatus and computer program product for facilitating location based services and/or location based policy control. A method at a first network node comprises receiving a message from a terminal connected to the first network node via non-3GPP access, the message including a local IP address or both the local IP address and a port number of the terminal; and sending geographical location related information of the terminal to an IMS network via at least a network node for policy control function of the IMS network. Methods at other network nodes and corresponding apparatus are also provided. With the embodiments, location based services and/or policy control may be provided to non-3GPP access devices.
