  • Patent number: 11622256
    Abstract: Accordingly, embodiments herein provide a system for managing anti-steering of roaming in a wireless communication network. The system includes a HPLMN, a VPLMN and a UE. The HPLMN obtains a register request message from the VPLMN and derives at least one HPLMN specific security key based on at least one security parameter. Further, the HPLMN protects a preferred PLMN list using the at least one HPLMN specific security key and the security parameter and sends the protected preferred PLMN list to the VPLMN along with necessary security information. Further, the VPLMN is configured to receive the protected preferred PLMN list from the HPLMN and send a message including the protected preferred PLMN list to the UE. The message mandates the VPLMN to send the preferred PLMN list transparently to the UE. Further, the UE is configured to receive the message including the preferred PLMN list from the VPLMN.

  • Publication number: 20230081141
    Abstract: Embodiments herein provide methods and systems for performing paging operation in 5G communication networks. The 5G core network can transmit a NAS message to a UE through a N3GPP access network, if the UE is reachable through the N3GPP access network. The NAS message can be sent by the 5G core network to the N3IWF. The N3IWF can send the NAS message to the UE, through the N3GPP access network. The UE can send a service request over 3GPP access, in response to the NAS message, to the 5G core network, through a 5G RAN. If the UE is not having access to the 5G RAN, then the UE can transmit a notification response message to the 5G core network, indicating the inability to transmit a service request. The transmission of NAS message through the N3IWF can lead to a significant saving of radio resources.

  • Publication number: 20230048805
    Abstract: A method disclosed herein includes registering, by a UE, with a same PLMN over a 3GPP access and a non-3GPP access. The method includes receiving, by the UE, a notification message from a CN of the PLMN over the non-3GPP access, in response to at least one communication service pending to be delivered to the UE over the 3GPP access. The method includes sending, by the UE, a notification response message to the CN over the non-3GPP access, in response to the received notification message. In order to avoid delay in acquiring downlink communication services, the method includes triggering, by the UE, the registration procedure with the CN to receive communication services over the 3GPP access in response to the UE entering the coverage of the 3GPP access.
