Abstract: A method, a network device, a system, and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium are described in relation to an gateway type monitoring event service. The gateway type monitoring event service may include providing a current gateway type associated with an end device and a network to an application function. The current gateway type may be used by the application function to perform a network operation or procedure.

Abstract: A device of a first network, to which a User Equipment (“UE”) is wirelessly connected, may receive, a request to access a service provided by a second network. The device may establish, based on the request, a user plane connection between the first network and the second network while the UE remains wirelessly connected to the first network. The first network may receive, from the UE, traffic that is associated with the service, and may output the received traffic to the second network via the user plane connection. The first and second networks may communicate via a connection, such as a tunnel, via respective User Plane Functions (“UPFs”) of the first and second networks. The UPFs may communicate via an N9 interface. The service may be provided by an edge computing device of the second network.

Abstract: A method, a network device, a system, and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium are described in relation to an RAT type monitoring event service. The RAT type monitoring event service may include providing a current RAT type associated with an end device and a network to an application function. The RAT type monitoring event service may also include providing a notification to the application function when the end device changes its RAT type. The current RAT type may be used by the application function to perform a network operation or procedure. The application function may subscribe to a monitoring and event notification associated with the RAT type monitoring event service.

Abstract: A method, a device, and a non-transitory storage medium are described in which a monitoring event handling service is provided. The service may include a non-stand-alone core device subscribing to a registration status for an end device with a stand-alone core device. The service may also include the non-stand-alone core device subscribing to a monitoring event service with the stand-alone core device on behalf of another non-stand-alone core network device. The stand-alone core device may monitor an event when the end device is stand-alone registered and may notify the non-stand-alone core device when the event occurs. The service may include the non-stand-alone core device notifying the other non-stand-alone core device when the event occurs.

Abstract: A device of a network may receive, from a network device of the network, data identifying a radio access technology (RAT) type associated with a user equipment of the network, an extended discontinuous reception (eDRX) timer associated with the user equipment, and a power saving mode (PSM) timer associated with the user equipment. The device may store the data identifying the RAT type, the eDRX timer, and the PSM timer, and may provide, to an application server, a notification that includes the data identifying the RAT type, the eDRX timer, and the PSM timer. The data identifying the RAT type, the eDRX timer, and the PSM timer may cause the application server to control or troubleshoot the user equipment.

Abstract: A device may obtain, for an account associated with a user equipment (UE) that is connected to a network, subscriber profile data that includes a group identifier for a messaging group for UEs that are eligible to utilize a group messaging service. The device may update a data structure to associate the group identifier and a UE identifier for the UE, wherein the data structure also associates the group identifier and other UE identifiers for other UEs of the messaging group. The device may receive, based on being subscribed to the group messaging service, group message data for a group message. The device may select the UE and the one or more other UEs as target recipients of the group message and may provide, using multicast, the contents of the group message to the UE and the one or more other UEs.
