SYSTEMS, METHODS, AND APPARATUSES FOR ENABLING RELAY SERVICES FOR USER EQUIPMENT TO ACCESS 5GC VIA A RESIDENTIAL GATEWAY

Abstract:

Relay service is enabled between a residential gateway and a remote user. For example, a 5G residential gateway (5G-RG) may include a relay user equipment (UE) to enable relay service for a 5G core (5GC)-capable UE behind the 5G-RG to connect to the 5GC. The relay UE of the 5G-RG may provide a trusted/untrusted non-3GPP access network for L2 or L3 transport connection to the 5GC-capable UE.
