  • Publication number: 20240267715
    Abstract: A method performed by a Radio Access Management Function (RAMF) for handling connectivity to a data network is disclosed. The RAMF receives, from a UE, a request associated with connectivity to the data network for an application having a subscription ID. The RAMF selects, based on at least a part of the subscription ID, which Session Management Function the request should be forwarded to, and forwards the request to the selected Session Management Function.

  • Patent number: 11943278
    Abstract: An internet protocol (IP) access point sends, to a requesting device, a modified version of a first web page comprising first modifications made in accordance with policy handling information, and receives, from the requesting device, a request for a second web page. Responsive to detecting that the request for the second web page comprises one or more of the first modifications, the IP access point sends a modified version of the second web page comprising second modifications made in accordance with the policy handling information to the requesting device.

  • Patent number: 10349301
    Abstract: A method performed by a first network node operating in a wireless communication network for enabling events triggered by a wireless device served by the first network node to be reported in the wireless communications network is provided. The first network node determines that an event has been triggered by the wireless device. Then, the first network node context information associated with the wireless device from a database node that is shared externally by the first network node with one or more network nodes in the wireless communications network, which context information indicates that events triggered in the first network node by the wireless device is to be reported in the wireless communications network. After the obtaining, the first network node determines that events triggered by the wireless device is to be reported in the wireless communications network based on the obtained context information.

  • Patent number: 10021038
    Abstract: A method in a first network node handles data sessions in a communications network. The method includes receiving information indicating a second data session entering the communications network. The method further includes creating a second rule associated with the second data session. The second rule causes the first data session to be associated with the second data session. The method further includes determining that the second rule share a guaranteed bit rate (GBR) with a first rule associated with the first data session based on the second data session entering the communications network. The method further includes transmitting first information that the second rule and an indicator indicating the first rule and the second rule should share the GBR.

  • Publication number: 20170289836
    Abstract: The embodiments herein relate to a method in a UE for handling transmission of an uplink data packet to a PDN. The UE determines if there is any uplink packet filter assigned to at least one bearer that matches the uplink data packet. When there is no uplink packet filter that matches the uplink data packet, the UE determines if there is any uplink packet filter on the default bearer. When there is no uplink packet filter that matches the uplink data packet and when there is no uplink packet filter on the default bearer, the UE determines that the uplink packet should be transmitted to the PDN using a default bearer. The default bearer has not been assigned any uplink packet filter.
