  • Patent number: 11540112
    Abstract: A wireless communication network enforces a user policy for a User Equipment (UE) and directs another wireless communication network to enforce another user policy for another UE. In the wireless communication network, an Application Function (AF) receives the user policy from another AF in the other wireless communication network and transfers the user policy to the PCF. The PCF distributes the user policy to a Network Function (NF). The NF enforces the user policy. The PCF identifies the other user policy for the other UE and transfers the other user policy to the AF. The AF responsively transfers the other user policy to the other AF. The other AF transfers the other user policy to another PCF in the other wireless communication network. The other PCF distributes the other user policy to another NF in the other wireless communication network which enforces the other user policy.

  • Patent number: 11523271
    Abstract: A wireless communication network serves a User Equipment (UE) and exports UE capability data. A UE Capability Management Function (UCMF) receives the UE capability data and transfers the UE capability data to a Network Exposure Function (NEF). The NEF transfers the UE capability data to another wireless communication network. The UCMF receives additional UE capability data. The NEF receives a UE capability request for the UE from the other wireless communication network. In response, the NEF transfers the UE capability request for the UE to the UCMF. The UCMF transfers additional UE capability data to the NEF. The NEF transfers the additional UE capability data to the other wireless communication network.
