Inventors include Starsinic, Michael; Ahmad, Saad; Purkayastha, Debashish; Ferdi, Samir; and Sethi, Anuj.

The application for the patent was published on October 30, 2026, under issue no. 44/2026.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described herein for associating a human user with a subscription. User identities may be managed. User identities may be linked and/or unlinked with subscriptions. An identified user may be authenticated to use a subscription. A device (e.g., wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU)) may detect whether a network slice is enabled (e.g., allowed) to be accessed by a user. A WTRU's protocol data unit (PDU) sessions may be configured to be associated with a user of the WTRU. Associating a PDU session with a user may enable a network to configure quality of service (QoS) treatment for the PDU session (e.g., such that it is based on the level of service that may be provided to the user).
