A location information transmitter transmits location information within a prescribed area. An IoT terminal receives the location information and transmits the location information and a device identifier. An address setting management device receives the location information and the device identifier and sets an IP address to be assigned to the IoT terminal on the basis of the location information and the device identifier and transmits the IP address to the IoT terminal. The IoT terminal sets the IP address received from the address setting management device for itself.

The present disclosure relates to: a communication technique merging IoT technology with a 5G communication system for supporting a data transmission rate higher than a 4G system; and a system therefor. The present disclosure can be applied to intelligent services (for example, smart homes, smart buildings, smart cities, smart cars or connected cars, healthcare, digital education, retail, security- and safety-related services, and the like) on the basis of a 5G communication technology and IoT-related technology. Disclosed in the present invention is a method for structuring or setting a multicast bearer or unicast bearer supporting an MBS service so as to support the MBS service in a next-generation mobile communication system, and a method for processing data of a PHY layer device, MAC layer device, RLC layer device or PDCP layer device receiving and processing MBS data.

Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are provided for on-boarding network devices onto a private 5G network. An example method can include discovering a first private 5G network upon the network device being turned on, authenticating, at the network device, the network device, downloading a second network profile from an SM-DP+ server of a second private 5G network, and on-boarding the network device to the second private 5G network.

A method for prioritizing among alternate network function (NF) instances includes registering a first NF profile of a first NF instance with a first NF repository function (NRF), and defining, as part of the first NF profile, alternate NF instance information identifying a plurality of individual alternate NF instances to function as backups in response to unavailability of the first NF instance and specifying, for each alternate NF instance, a priority attribute value indicating a relative priority of the alternate NF instance with respect to the other alternate NF instances. The method further includes, at a first consumer NF or SCP, discovering, from the first NRF, the first NF profile of the first NF instance, detecting unavailability of the first NF instance, and, using the alternate NF instance information in the first NF profile to select and contact one of the alternate NF instances identified by the alternate NF instance information.

Systems and methods for dynamic communication routing based on consistency weighting and routing rules are disclosed. A computing device can receive a communication including content data. The communication can be stored in a queue position of a primary queue. For example, the primary queue can include a plurality of queue positions for storing communications. The communication can be retrieved from the queue position of the primary queue and analyzed. In some instances, analyzing can include parsing the content data for a keyword. A keyword can correspond to a secondary queue. When the keyword is identified in the communication, the communication can be stored in the secondary queue that corresponds to the keyword. A terminal device associated with the secondary queue can be identified. A retrieval request to access the communication from the secondary queue can be received, and the communication can be routed to the terminal device.

In a domain name system (DNS) server allocation method, a session management function (SMF) receives a session establishment request message sent by UE, where the request message includes a name of a data network to be accessed by the UE. The SMF obtains an IP address of a first DNS server based on the name of the data network and a geographical location of the UE. The SMF then sends to the UE a session establishment response message that includes the IP address of the first DNS server.

[Object] Effectively perform data communication [Solving Means] A communication device includes: a LINK that generates a first output signal on a basis of a first external signal from a first external device, outputs the first output signal to a second external device, generates a second output signal on a basis of a second external signal from the second external device, and outputs the second output signal to the first external device, in which each of the first output signal and the second external signal includes command information indicating content of a command transmitted from the first external device, final-destination-device-identification-information for identifying a final destination device of data transmitted from the first external device, internal address information indicating an internal address of the final destination device, data length information indicating a length of the data transmitted from the first external device, and data-end-position-information indicating an end position of the data transmitted from the first external device.
