Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A first node of a wireless communications network may determine a service type of the first node. The first node may transmit, to a second node during a random access procedure, an indication of the service type of the first node. The first node may then establish a connection with a unit of the second node that is for serving nodes of the wireless network associated with the service type. The connection may be established based on transmitting the indication of the service type.

An information feedback method, device and system are provided. The method includes: determining, by a first communication node, feedback information for indicating a status of communication links between the first communication node and a serving communication node, where the feedback information includes at least one of the following: failure information of a first type of transmission link, a request for training signal of transmission modes and/or a request for training signal of receiving modes, and indication information of M preferred transmission links, and the first type of transmission link and the M preferred transmission links include transmission links from the serving communication node to the first communication node, where M is a positive integer greater than or equal to 1; and transmitting, by the first communication node, the feedback information to the serving communication node. The present disclosure solves the problem in the existing art of a low resource utilization rate because a receiving end and a transmitting end cannot learn a communication link failure in time, enables the receiving end and the transmitting end to learn a status of communication links between them in time, and effectively improves the resource utilization rate.

The present disclosure relates to a communication method and system for converging a 5th-Generation (5G) communication system for supporting higher data rates beyond a 4th-Generation (4G) system with a technology for Internet of Things (IoT).

This application provides a switching method, it is determined that a switching delay of a first terminal device switching from a first bandwidth unit to a second bandwidth unit is a first delay, where the first delay is less than a second delay, and the second delay is a switching delay supported by a second terminal device. Alternatively, it is determined that a switching delay of a first terminal device switching from a first bandwidth unit to a second bandwidth unit is one of N delays, where the N delays are switching delays supported by the first terminal device, N is an integer greater than or equal to 2, and the N delays include a first delay. Therefore, switching between bandwidth units may be performed more quickly. In this case, the first terminal device may quickly perform dynamic data transmission within a large system bandwidth.

In a wireless communication network implementing network slicing (NS), an Initial Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF) for a user equipment (UE) in one NS is able to re-allocate a UE to a Target AMF in a different NS, despite not being able to directly communicate with the Target AMF due to NS security restrictions. In a first embodiment, the Initial AMF transfers the UE context—including its security context—to a Default AMF. The Default AMF has the capability to communicate with network functions in different NSes. The Default AMF transfers the UE context to the Target AMF. In a second embodiment, a security key Kamf′ is horizontally derived in a manner that avoids NS security conflicts. The derived key is transferred to the UE and Target AMF, which establish a security context. In a third embodiment, the Initial AMF allocates a Token, and transfers it, along with the UE security context (directly or via RAN) to the Default AMF. The Default AMF then transfers the security context to the Target AMF.

An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a communication circuit including at least one antenna, a memory, and a processor operatively connected with the communication circuit and the memory. The memory includes instructions, when executed, causing the processor to identify a communication state of the communication circuit, adjust a characteristic of the antenna to a wideband characteristic including a first wireless-fidelity (Wi-Fi) band and a second Wi-Fi band by means of the communication circuit to scan a Wi-Fi communication channel, when the identified communication state is a state where the Wi-Fi communication channel is scanned, and adjust the characteristic of the antenna to a narrowband characteristic corresponding to a determined communication channel to perform Wi-Fi communication, when the identified communication state is a state where the Wi-Fi communication channel to communicate is determined.
