Systems and methods provide for network-based selection of a UE device's 5G operation mode. A network device in a wireless core network receives a policy query for a user equipment (UE) device. The UE device is capable of 5G non-standalone (NSA) and 5G standalone (SA) operation modes. The network device identifies one or more of subscription data for the UE device, stored network data associated with the UE device, or dynamic network data relevant to the UE device. The network device assigns, based on the identifying, a radio access technology/frequency selection and prioritization (RFSP) value for the UE device. The network device sends the RFSP value to an access management function in the wireless core network for controlling selection of the 5G NSA operation mode or 5G SA operation mode.

Some aspects of this disclosure relate to apparatuses and methods for communicating in a first radio access technology (RAT) and a second RAT. A user equipment (UE) can receive, from a first base station using the first RAT, first configuration information for the UE to communicate with a second base station via the second RAT; and receive, from the first base station using the first RAT, a downlink message to enable a communication link between the UE and the second base station via the second RAT. The downlink message includes second configuration information for the UE to communicate with the second base station via the second RAT. The UE can establish the communication link between the UE and the second base station using the second RAT based on a link configuration obtained from the first configuration information and the second configuration information.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. The method includes receiving control signaling indicating for the UE to monitor a set of multiple synchronization signal blocks during a first transmission time interval, determining a priority order of the set of multiple synchronization signal blocks based on a number of beam switch events that occur during the first transmission time interval exceeding a beam switch capability limit of the UE, performing a set of multiple beam measurements of at least a subset of the set of multiple synchronization signal blocks that occur during the first transmission time interval according to the priority order of the set of multiple synchronization signal blocks, and transmitting a beam report to a base station based on the set of multiple beam measurements.

Embodiments of this application disclose an intent management method and a related apparatus. The method includes: A first apparatus receives intent management capability information from a second apparatus, where the intent management capability information indicates intent management capability information supported by the second apparatus. Then, the first apparatus generates target intent information based on first information and a service requirement. Finally, the first apparatus sends the target intent information to the second apparatus. The target intent information is generated based on the service requirement and the intent management capability information supported by the second apparatus, and the target intent information meets a management requirement. Therefore, a degree of matching between the target intent information and the second apparatus can be effectively improved. This avoids a problem that the target intent information does not match the second apparatus, avoids repeated adjustment of the delivered intent information, and improves efficiency.

An access barring method and apparatus and a communication system. The method includes: performing access barring check or access class determination by UE by using parameters defined for a new radio system. The parameters are applicable to all radio resource control (RRC) states. For different public land mobile networks (PLMNs) and/or network slicing, the parameters are identical or different. With the embodiments of this disclosure, selectable parameters are provided for a uniform access control mechanism defined by an NR system, thereby simplifying an access mechanism, and ensuring all-directional compatibility of a terminal state.

Disclosed in the present disclosure is a paging processing method, a network device, a user equipment (UE), and a computer storage medium. The method comprises: obtaining a terminal type of a UE, and cell identifier information or base station identifier information corresponding to the position of the UE; and if the terminal type of the UE is a static type, determining a paging range for the UE on the basis of the cell identifier information or base station identifier information corresponding to the position of the UE.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A user equipment (UE) may truncate or remove a number of bits from its UE identity based on identity truncating information to generate a truncated UE identity. The truncated UE identity can be transmitted by eMTC devices to a base station in an RRC connection request, and can be used by the base station to determine which core network entity stores the UE's capabilities. In some implementations, the UE may truncate or remove a number of bits from the 48-bit 5G-S-TMSI based on the identity truncating information to generate a 40-bit truncated 5G-S-TMSI that can be transmitted by an eMTC device to the base station in the RRC connection request and yet still provide the base station with enough information to determine which AMF stores the UE context.

This disclosure provides systems, methods, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for wireless communication. In one or more aspects, a user equipment (UE) is configured to transmit capability information of the UE for channel state information (CSI) reporting. The UE is further configured to receive, from a base station, configuration information for the CSI reporting. The configuration information indicates a CSI reference resource including a plurality of a first type of time units for CSI reference signal (CSI RS) monitoring, a CSI target resource including one or more of a second type of time units for which channel state information is to be estimated, or both. The CSI target resource is later in time as compared to the CSI reference resource. Other aspects and features are also claimed and described.

Embodiments of this application provide a communication method and a device. The communication method and the device may be used in the field of a communication technology that supports a reduced capability terminal device, for example, weak-capability UE or MTC UE. The method includes: A first network device determines that a type of a first terminal device is a first type. The first network device sends a handover request message. The handover request message includes first indication information. The first indication information includes identifier information of the first type. The first network device receives a handover acknowledgment message or a handover preparation failure message.
