A method operable by an authentication element for authenticating devices for a plurality of communication networks includes (1) supporting authentication of a first device for a private Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) wireless communication network via an interface between a core network of the private 3GPP wireless communication network and the authentication element, and (2) supporting authentication of a second device for a wireline access network, the second device being communicatively coupled to the wireline access network via a residential gateway.

The WTRU residential gateway (RG) is configured to detect which PDU session is used for a service associated with a user identity of a connected / network-shared device based on multiple service descriptors in the supplied User Equipment Routing Policy (URSP). The RG then provides information to the network enabling the network to detect which services are associated with a user identity of the connected device. The network manages the IP address allocation and port combinations of the devices associated with the services and provides this information to the RG for efficient use as a packet filter when managing services originating from / to the connected devices. Further variations and embodiments are disclosed.

A distributed computing system, comprising a control node and a plurality of provider nodes. One or more of the provider nodes are a customer premises equipment (CPE), each CPE comprising one of: a broadband router, a modem, a residential gateway. The control node and the plurality of provider nodes are arranged in a grid computing network to provide a distributed computational resource by aggregating surplus computational resources at the plurality of provider nodes.

In one or more systems, methods, and / or devices, an enhanced residential gateway (eRG) may perform registration for 5GS and CPN identification. This may include a registration procedure for the eRG, and / or a service request procedure for the eRG. Additionally, in the eRG, the user plane of a wireless transmit receive unit (WTRU) may be handled. This may include a procedure for the eRG for WTRU registration, and / or PDU session establishment for local breakout in the CPN.
