Methods for provisioning a service in a first network and providing the service by an entity in a second network are disclosed. The methods comprising maintaining in a software repository in the first network, one or more software images (I1, I2, . . . Ii) of corresponding one or more services and where each service is identified by a service identifier (Si) and storing configuration information related to the one or more services in a database repository of the first network. The method of providing the service in the second network further comprises receiving and storing one or more software images (I1, I2, . . . ) for one or more services of the first network and where each service is identified by a service identifier (Si) and upon detecting a trigger indicating a request for a service of the one or more services, instantiating the software image of the service in the serving network.

Provided is a method for controlling congestion caused by a disaster roaming user and a device supporting same. When a disaster occurs in a first public land mobile network (PLMN) that provides a service in a specific area, a user equipment (UE) performs registration with a second PLMN that provides a service in the specific area, and receives a message from a network in the second PLMN. The message includes: (i) information indicating that the UE is subject to congestion control in the second PLMN on the basis of the application of a disaster condition in the first PLMN; and (ii) timer information related to the congestion control. The UE operates a timer on the basis of the timer information, and performs PLMN selection with respect to a PLMN other than the second PLMN while the timer is running.

Provided are a method for notifying of a disaster situation by a radio access network (RAN) node, and a device supporting same. When the RAN node detects that a problem in an interface between cores networks related to a public land mobile network (PLMN) has occurred, the RAN node stops transmitting a broadcast message currently being transmitted to a user equipment (UE), and transmits a disaster broadcast message to the UE. The disaster broadcast message comprises: (i) information indicating that a disaster condition is applied to a first PLMN; and (ii) information on a second PLMN related to the disaster condition. The disaster condition corresponds to a problem in an interface between the RAN node and a core network related to the first PLMN. The UE adjusts priorities of an PLMN selection on the basis of information included in the disaster broadcast message, and selects the second PLMN according to the adjusted priorities.

Correlating devices and clients across addresses may be provided. A first address associated with a client device may be received. When the client device is not connected to a network, first location data associated with the first address may be obtained using a passive technique. A second address and second location data associated with the second address may then be obtained using an active technique. It may then be determined that the first location data and the second location data correlate. In response to determining that the first location data and the second location data correlate, it may be determined that the client device has changed from the first address to the second address.

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a distributed unit (DU) of an integrated access and backhaul (IAB) node may receive, from a centralized unit (CU) of an IAB donor, an indication of a mobility state of a child node of the DU. The DU may perform an admission control for the child node based at least in part on the mobility state of the child node. Numerous other aspects are described.

The disclosure relates to a 5G or 6G communication system for supporting higher data rates. A method performed by a UE includes transmitting, to a first VPLMN, a first registration request message; receiving, from the first VPLMN, a registration accept message including roaming information associated with an HPLMN; validating the roaming information; based on a result of the validating, setting a timer for releasing a PDU session with the first VPLMN; based on the timer, performing a local release for the PDU session with the first VPLMN; based on the roaming information, selecting a second VPLMN; and transmitting, to the second VPLMN, a second registration request message.

A cloud server distributes a request application to an edge-equipped vehicle. The edge device executes the request application using the resource of the edge-equipped vehicle, and notifies the cloud server of resource information regarding the resource usage status related to the execution of the request application. The cloud server generates first compensation information to be charged to the user who requests the request application and second compensation information to be paid to the owner of the edge-equipped vehicle according to the resource information.
