Abstract: This disclosure describes systems, methods, and devices for providing data query and manipulation services. A wireless communications network service-based architecture for providing data query and manipulation services may detect a request from a service consumer, received at a GraphQL interface of a network function, to query or manipulate data; and provide, using the GraphQL interface, a response to the request.

Abstract: Various embodiments herein may relate to system information blocks (SIBs) for augmented computing in cellular networks. In particular, some embodiments may be directed to system information associated with computing service support in cellular networks. Other embodiments may be disclosed or claimed.

Abstract: An apparatus and system for traffic Steering for Service Function Chaining (SFC) are described. Different protocol stacks may be used to enable SFC for the user plane. The protocol stacks include: separate SFC service layer and transport protocols in which transport uses identifiers of different enhanced user plane functions (eUPFs) and communication (Comm) Service Functions (SFs), transport protocols that are integrated with SFC-related information in which a General Packet Radio Service Tunneling Protocol-user (GTP-U) header or a Segment Routing Header (SRH) has type-length-value (TLV) fields contains the SFC-related information, or an SFC inherent Segment Routing (SR) protocol stack in which first SFC-related information is carried as a locator: function field in Segment Routing Header (SRH) and second SFC-related information is contained in a type-length-value (TLV) field of the SRH, the first SFC-related information comprising a Comm SF and identification of SFs reachable from the Comm SF.

Abstract: This disclosure describes systems, methods, and devices related to service function chaining classification in wireless networks. A communications network system may include a first cellular network device configured to: receive service data adaptation protocol (SDAP) data from a user equipment (UE) device, the SDAP data comprising a SDAP header; identify a service chaining function (SFC) service identifier of the SDAP header; determine that the SFC service identifier is indicative of a SFC service profile, the SFC service profile indicative of quality of service (QOS) traffic characteristics; identify a SFC traffic flow associated with the SFC service identifier; and transmit the SDAP data to a second cellular network device; and wherein the second cellular network device is configured to: receive the SDAP data from the first cellular network device; and transmit the SDAP data to a service function of the system.

Abstract: This disclosure describes systems, methods, and devices related to service function chaining in wireless networks. A communications system may include a communication control function to select one or multiple communication service functions associated with establishing service function chaining (SFC) services for telecommunications; a service orchestration and chaining function (SOCF) to establish the SFC services; and a service orchestration exposure function (SOEF) to expose the SFC services to an application function (AF) of the system.

Abstract: An apparatus, method, and system are described for data transfer between a user equipment (UE) and Data Storage Function (DSF) in a 6G system. The data transfer occurs via a control and/or user plane using a data ID and data filter defined using data ID, metadata, data source, and labeling. User plane data transfer is based on a protocol data unit (PDU) or a standalone data session. The DSF provides data services by service application programming interfaces (APIs). A Service Infrastructure Control Function (SICF) configures routing policies to an evolved Service Communication Proxy User Plane (eSCP-U) to route data inquiries to the correct DSF using a service mesh.

Abstract: Techniques for maintaining service continuity in a 5G NR network in communication with a MEC system and an edge application (EDGEAPP) system are disclosed. A notification message originating from a service management function (SMF) of a core network (CN) is decoded at a network exposure function (NEF) of the CN. The notification message includes a UE IP address change of a UE. A private IP address of the UE is determined based on the UE IP address change. A query with the private IP address is encoded for transmission to a NAT server. A response from the NAT server is decoded. The response includes a public IP address and a UE ID of the UE. The public IP address corresponds to the private IP address. A tuple including the UE ID, the public IP address, and the private IP address is generated at the NEF.

Abstract: Various embodiments generally may relate to the field of wireless communications. For example, some embodiments may relate to enabling augmented computing as a service or network capability for sixth-generation (6G) networks. For example, some embodiments may be directed to the operation of a compute control client (Comp CC) at the UE side, and a compute control function (Comp CF) and compute service function (Comp SF) at the network side, which are referred to herein as “compute plane” functions to handle computing related control and user traffic.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides embodiments in which computing (e.g., edge computing) is part of base station (BS) capability. These embodiments may enable conducting computing offloading between a user equipment (UE) and BS in the radio access network (RAN), for example, compute in the RAN, and deliver “true” edge computing user experience. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.
