Abstract: Aspects related to application based routing of data packets is described. In an example, a method for enabling application based routing of data packets includes retrieving, by a client device, a prioritized list of client application parameters to process data packets from at least one client application. The prioritized list is generated based on application support capabilities of the client device. The method includes transmitting client parameters to a network server to create at least one multi-path proxy (MPP) instance. Each MPP instance of the at least one MPP instance is configured to aggregate and route data packets to a pre-defined core network link. The method further includes receiving identification information pertaining to the at least one MPP instance from the network server. Based on the identification information, the prioritized list is assigned to the at least one MPP instance to process data packets from at least one client application.

Abstract: Event triggering based on explicit user equipment list assignment command events is provided. A method may be performed by a network device of initiating a radio intelligent controller subscription procedure to modify a policy of a user device to change at least an operation of the user device, when determining that the user device is underperforming. The network device transmits to a network node a request to change at least the operation of the user device according to the radio intelligent controller subscription procedure.

Abstract: An apparatus is provided which comprises at least one processor, at least one memory including computer program code, and the at least one processor, with the at least one memory and the computer program code, being arranged to cause the apparatus to at least perform providing information concerning multiple networks to at least one application, receiving instructions from the application, and managing traffic relating to the at least one application on the multiple networks based on the instructions received from the application.

Abstract: A user equipment (215) obtains authorized service information on edge services for which the user equipment is authorized, obtains edge service information on edge services provided by access elements (210) to provide access to a wireless communication system (200), and selects a first access element of the access elements based on the authorized service information, the edge service information and radio measurements performed by the user equipment. Handover of the user equipment from the first access element to a second access element is decided based on edge service information on edge services which are provided by the second access element, authorized service information on authorized edge services for the user equipment, and radio measurements provided by the user equipment.

Abstract: A technique, comprising: obtaining, via a gateway entity linking a radio access network to a core network associated with the radio access network, information about mapping at the core network of one or more temporary user identifiers to one or more permanent user identifiers.

The prioritized list is generated based on application support capabilities of the client device. The method includes transmitting client parameters to a network server to create at least one multi-path proxy (MPP) instance. Each of the at least one WIPP instance is configured to aggregate and route data packets to a pre-defined core network link. The method further includes receiving identification information pertaining to the at least one MPP instance from the network server. Based on the identification information, the prioritized list is assigned to the at least one multi-path proxy instance to process data packets from at least one client application.

Abstract: A first access element activates an edge service in response to the first access element receiving information identifying a user, a bearer, or a flow that is to be served by the edge service. The edge service generates a service result based on layer I or layer 2 parameters available at the first access element. A service result is transmitted from the first access element to an edge service agent implemented external to the first access element. The edge service agent determines whether a user, a bearer associated with the user, or a flow associated with the bearer is qualified for the edge service. The edge service agent can then discover the edge service for the qualified user, bearer, or flow. The edge service agent transmits a message to activate the edge service. Service continuity is provided during handover by providing edge-service-specific parameters to the target access element.

Abstract: Tracking a mobile station, MS, (108) of a telecommunications network including a LCS client (102), Location services client, for a GMLC, Gateway Mobile Location Center, (104). The GMLC (104) checking a prediction database to find a predicted location area of the MS. If the prediction data is valid then location estimation procedure will not be started, the GMLC (104) requesting an MSC 106 to forward the location update information to the GMLC (104) for the MS (108). In case an location area update is done before an end of a prediction period and the MS (108) moves out of the predicted area then an location estimation procedure will be started for the MS (108).
