To make effective the usage of wireless networks, and in particular IEEE 802.11 networks, it is described a method of coordinating communications comprising a group of access points, APs, sharing resources during a transmission opportunity, TXOP, gained by a first AP of the group, the first AP is configured to allocate resources to second APs of the group within the TXOP, wherein the group is formed based on the capabilities of the APs to share and/or use shared resources, and/or on the enablement status of the APs of their function to share and/or use shared resources.

Apparatuses, systems, and methods for performing network slice quota management. A network slice quota management function may store capacity information for one or more network slices. The network slice quota management function may receive a request for an indication of whether a network slice has additional capacity. The network slice quota management function may provide an indication of whether the network slice has additional capacity in response to the request. The capacity information may relate to the capacity of the network slice with respect to the number of wireless devices registered for the network slice, or to the capacity of the network slice with respect to the number of packet sessions established with the network slice, or both, among various possibilities.

There is provided a method comprising controlling receiving, at a node, subframe type configuration information, said subframe type configuration information defining at least one subframe type of a group of subframes to be used in a secondary cell, said secondary cell configured to provide at least one of licensed-assisted access, licensed shared access and co-primary sharing access and using said subframe type configuration information to cause the node to operate in accordance with that configuration in the secondary cell.

The present disclosure relates to methods and apparatuses. According to some embodiments of the disclosure, a method comprises: receiving, at a communication device, a first broadcasting message from a base station, the first broadcasting message including a first information for backhaul link selection; determining a channel quality between the communication device and the base station; and determining to access either the base station or a candidate node according to the first broadcasting message and the channel quality.

Embodiments describing methods performed by a system comprising Network functions including at least a Session Management Function and a User Plane Function for performing a UPF re-anchoring for an application triggered at a User Equipment over an established Packet Data Unit (PDU) Session, where when the system receives the initial trigger for a service triggered by the application (e.g., a DNS request or an application level request), a determination is made by the system based on the information related to the application that re-anchoring of the UPF for that application into a local UPF closer to the UE is required. When re-anchoring of the UPF is successful, the initial trigger is discarded, and the UE is instructed to establish a new PDU session over the local UPF for that application.

Improved systems and techniques are disclosed for controlling the security states of anti theft security systems such as product display assemblies using security fobs. The tasks relating to fob authentication are offloaded to a computer system, and these authentications can be based on identifiers for the different security fobs. The computer system can maintain a list of identifiers for authorized security fobs that is easily updated when new security fobs are added to or existing security fobs are de-authorized from the system.

An infrastructure equipment comprising circuitry configured to transmit system information specific for aerial UEs, the system information specific for aerial UEs comprising assistance information for cell selection/reselection.

Embodiment of the invention describe an apparatus for an access node, which is configured to receive slice-support information; and/or receive slice-context information and determine slice-support information based on the slice-context information; wherein the slice-support information comprises a mapping of a slice to an area, in particular a tracking area or a slice-support area; and process a slice-related information based on the slice-support information.
