Claim 10:
11. An apparatus comprising:
at least one processor configured to cause a base station to:
encode, for transmission to an Access and Mobility Function (AMF), registration of a user equipment (UE) that comprises information-centric networking (ICN) context information of the UE;
decode, from the AMF in response to transmission, an ICN type of service (TS) as part of the ICN context information, the ICN TS indicating UE charging rules and an identity of at least one of the UE or group of EEs comprising the EE;
decode an ICN interest packet from the EE, the ICN interest packet comprising a prefix identifying content to be retrieved from a content holder for the EE and a type field indicating that the ICN interest packet is an interest packet;
modify the ICN interest packet to include a TS field prior to transmission of the ICN interest packet to the ICN-PoA, the TS field indicating the identity of the EE; and
modify the ICN data packet to remove the TS field prior to transmission of the ICN data packet to the EE.
