Abstract
A method for authorizing a non-IP data delivery service may include receiving a request from a user equipment device (UE) to attach to an access network based on a generic non-internet protocol (IP) access point name (APN), and performing an initial service authorization of the UE for a non-IP data delivery (NIDD) service with the generic non-IP APN. The method may further include generating a specific non-IP APN by combining the generic non-IP APN with an APN originating identifying anchor (OIA), where the APN OIA identifies an organization associated with the NIDD service. The method may include performing a secondary service authorization of the UE within the access network using the APN OIA, and notifying an application server (AS) of the UE availability for the NIDD service using the generic non-IP APN.
