A sidelink communication method performed by a UE is provided. The method includes receiving from a base station a message including zone configuration information and resource pool configuration information and selecting a zone type mapped to a speed of the UE among zone types indicated by the zone configuration information. A zone identifier is determined based on configuration information of the selected zone type, the configuration information of the selected zone type being included in the zone configuration information. The sidelink communication is performed using a resource pool mapped to the zone identifier among resource pools indicated by the resource pool configuration information.

Example authentication methods, devices, and systems are provided, where those example can be used to verify validity of access location information of a next generation-residential gateway (NG-RG) in a fixed-mobile convergence architecture. One example method includes a network device receiving first link information that is used to represent an access location of a residential gateway, and the network device obtaining second link information of the residential gateway. When the first link information matches partial or all information of the second link information, or when the first link information matches partial or all information of one link information of the second link information, the network device verifies validity of the access location of the residential gateway.

When the first link information matches partial or all information of the second link information, or when the first link information matches partial or all information of one link information of the second link information, the network device verifies validity of the access location of the residential gateway.

A device obtains a data structure from a computing device, and divides the data structure into data segments. The device obtains a list of user devices from the computing device and obtains, from one or more network devices, a respective location and a respective reachability of each user device. The device determines, based on the respective location of each user device, a set of user devices connected to a base station. The device determines a communication capability of the base station, and determines, based on the communication capability, a subset of the set of user devices and one or more sets of the data segments. The device sends, based on the respective reachability of each user device of the subset of user devices, the one or more sets of data segments to the subset of user devices via the base station.

Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for efficient registration for partially supported service areas are provided. One method may include providing, to at least one user equipment registered to a network within a registration area, information comprising one or more lists of single network slice selection assistance information (S-NSSAIs) and one or more lists of tracking area identities (TAIs). The one or more single network slice selection assistance information (S-NSSAIs) is included in a list of rejected single network slice selection assistance information (S-NSSAIs) or in a list of extended rejected single network slice selection assistance information (S-NSSAIs), and is associated with a cause value indicating that the one or more single network slice selection assistance information (S-NSSAIs) is not supported uniformly in the registration area and is not supported in a current tracking area.

A technique involves modular storage of network service plan components and provisioning of same. A subset of the capabilities of a service design system can be granted to a sandbox system to enable customization of service plan offerings or other controls.

The present disclosure describes solutions for seamless enterprise network integration with operator networks. Enterprise networks can include full network resources to provide a complete, isolated network. The enterprise network can also host mobile network operator users with edge managers acting as routing agents. Moreover, when an enterprise moves outside of the enterprise network, the enterprise user can still access the enterprise network via an operator network without compromising security, privacy, and reliability. A neutral hosted core can be used as a routing agent to the enterprise network from one or more operator networks.

Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, obtaining predicted available bandwidths for an end user device, monitoring buffer occupancy of a buffer of the end user device, determining bit rates for portions of media content according to the predicted available bandwidths and according to the buffer occupancy, and adjusting bit rates for portions of media content according to the predicted available bandwidths and according to the buffer occupancy during streaming of the media content to the end user device over a wireless network. Other embodiments are disclosed.
