METHODS, SYSTEMS, AND COMPUTER READABLE MEDIA FOR NON-INTERNET PROTOCOL (NON-IP) DATA DELIVERY BETWEEN USER EQUIPMENT (UEs) AND MULTIPLE APPLICATION SERVERS (ASs)

摘要

A method for mobile originated (MO) non-Internet protocol data delivery (NIDD) to plural application servers (ASs) includes creating an AS group NIDD context record at an exposure function node for an AS group including a plurality of ASs to receive MO NIDD communications from a same UE. The method further includes receiving, at the exposure function node, a request for creating a single packet data network (PDN) connection with the exposure function node on behalf of the UE. The method further includes updating the AS group NIDD context record to include PDN connection information for the single PDN connection. The method further includes receiving, at the exposure function node and over the single PDN connection, MO NIDD data from the UE. The method further includes distributing, from the exposure function node and using the AS group NIDD context record, the MO NIDD data to each of the plural ASs identified as members of the group in the AS group NIDD context record.
