In a wireless communication network, a provisioning system transfers a Session Management Function (SMF) Application Programming Interface (API) call for a User Plane Function (UPF) metric to an SMF. The SMF transfers a UPF API call for the UPF metric to the UPF over signaling. The UPF transfers a UPF API response indicating the UPF metric to the SMF over signaling. The SMF transfers an SMF API response indicating the UPF metric to the provisioning system. The provisioning system may obtain UE metrics through the SMF or an Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF) in a like manner. The provisioning system may obtain Radio Access Network (RAN) metrics through the SMF or AMF in a like manner.

Joining subnets in mobile ad-hoc network (MANET) environment. A method includes, based on SNR, power and data rate information between a first gateway node for a first subnet and a second gateway node for a second subnet, determining a rate at which the first and the second subnets can connect if nodes in the first subnet reduce signal transmit rate to a predetermined level. The method further includes as a result of determining that the determined rate meets or exceeds a predetermined threshold, then joining the first and second subnets by joining the first and second subnets via the first and second gateway nodes and causing nodes in the first subnet to reduce signal transmit rate to the predetermined level.

The present invention relates a wireless communication method and a wireless communication terminal for supporting a spatial reuse operation of an overlapping basic service set to efficiently use a wireless resource. To this end, provided are a base wireless communication terminal including: a processor; and a communication unit, wherein the processor receives a PHY protocol data unit (PPDU) through the communication unit, determines whether the PPDU contains an intra-BSS frame or contains an inter-BSS frame based on preamble information of the PPDU, and performs either a first operation or a second operation distinct from each other according to a determination result and a wireless communication method using the same.

Embodiments provide a service request processing method, a related device, and a communications system in an IMS network. In some embodiments, because 5GC network slices correspond to different services, P-CSCFs in the IMS also correspond to different service information. After receiving a terminated service request sent by an I-CSCF, a first S-CSCF can obtain an address of a corresponding P-CSCF based on terminated service information carried in the terminated service request. Then, the first S-CSCF sends the terminated service request to the P-CSCF corresponding to the address, and the P-CSCF processes the terminated service request.

A method includes receiving, by a control plane (CP) from an application function (AF), a traffic influence routing rule comprising a service address representing a destination address of a route to an application server, the traffic influence routing rule specifying a breakout rule for packets of a communicating device addressed to the application server; storing, by the CP, the traffic influence routing rule in a policy control function (PCF); and generating, by the CP, a traffic filter for packets of at least one traffic flow associated with the communicating device, the traffic filter directing packets of the at least one traffic flow that are addressed to the application server to the service address, the traffic filter being generated in accordance with the traffic influence routing rule.

The system (1) of the invention is configured to receive information relating to relay devices (11,17-19) present in a certain spatial area and determine relay configuration information for the relay devices from the information. The relay configuration information instructs the relay devices when to receive and/or relay data units and when not to receive and/or relay data units. The system is further configured to transmit the relay configuration information to the relay devices. The relay device of the invention is configured receive a data unit from a further device (21) or not in dependence on the received relay configuration information and/or relay a received data unit to the cellular communication network (31) or not in dependence on the received relay configuration information.
