Study on scenarios where multiple APNs are needed
The scope of this study is:
- to provide details about the use cases where there is a need of control of APNs;
- to identify potential new requirements to fulfil the use cases;
- to identify potential solutions to fulfil the use cases;
The scope of the study is focussed on Machine-To-Machine UEs but can take into account a more generic set of UEs.
This study will identify what connectivity use-cases that are needed to be fulfilled, and study if multiple APN or a multi-purpose APN per subscription (IMSI) combined with other 3GPP specified features can support those connectivity use-cases. The study will also analyse the impacts in scenarios where the service provider decides to change the MNO.
