Abstract: Techniques for providing more efficient onboarding traffic protocols in a standalone non-public network architecture are provided. A network entity includes processing circuitry and at least one memory including computer program code. The at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the processing circuitry, cause the network entity at least to generate one or more traffic filter rules for a traffic filter set. The one or more traffic filter rules or traffic detection rules are generated based at least in part on domain name service query response information related to one or more user device originated domain name service queries. The network entity may further be configured to cause a user plane function to be provided with the one or more traffic filter rules.

Abstract: An apparatus is provided which comprises at least one processor and at least one memory including computer program code, the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to perform: detecting whether a first user equipment is present in an area served by a user plane function, and, when it is detected that the first user equipment is present in the area served by the user plane function, storing information about the presence of the first user equipment and controlling whether and when to allocate the first user equipment to the user plane function based on the stored information.

Abstract: A plurality of interworking functions, which provide inter-working between a communication network acting as an access network and a non-public network, is associated with a plurality of sites or network slices hosted by the non-public network (S201). A user equipment is configured Process 1 to select an interworking function of the plurality of interworking functions based on information on a site or network slice the user equipment is associated with, of the plurality of sites or network slices (S203).

Abstract: Various methods for distributing a single stream of sensor data to one or more services are provided. One example method may include maintaining an association between sensor data and one or more services requesting the sensor data. The method of this example embodiment may further comprise receiving the sensor data. The example method may further comprise generating one or more copies of the sensor data. The example method may also comprise providing for distribution of the copies of the sensor data to the services requesting the sensor data, such that a copy of the sensor data is provided for distribution to each of the services requesting the sensor data. Similar and related example methods, example apparatuses, and example computer program products are also provided.
