SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR GROUP BASED SERVICES PROVISIONING

Abstract:

Systems and methods are provided for pervasive connectivity for group based service (GBS) provisioning. In addition, or in other embodiments, groupcast services provisioning in 5G systems is described. An example apparatus for GBS provisioning for pervasive connectivity in a mobile network includes a memory interface and a processor. The memory interface to send or receive, to or from a memory device, an application identifier (ID) value, and a temporary group based service ID (TGSID) value. The processor to process a service request from an access and mobility management function (AMF). The service request includes the application ID value and the TGSID value associated with a groupcast service. In response to the service request, the processor enables groupcast service at one or more associated access stratum network entities for forwarding groupcast internet protocol (IP) packets.
