The present specification provides a method for receiving gap symbol information, the method being performed by a node in a wireless communication system. The method is characterized by including: receiving the gap symbol information, wherein the gap symbol information indicates the number of gap symbols pertaining to switching between a mobile terminal (MT) operation and a distributed unit (DU) operation; and performing an integrated access and backhaul (IAB) operation on the basis of the gap symbol information, wherein the node does not perform the IAB operation on the symbol indicated by the gap symbol information.

A second network node determines a backhaul adaptation protocol (BAP) configuration associated with a backhaul traffic transport and including a topology identifier corresponding to a topology of a plurality of topologies for which traffic associated with the topology is transported based on the BAP configuration. The second network node sends, to a first network node, the BAP configuration associated with the backhaul traffic transport. The first network node receives a first BAP configuration associated with a first topology identifier (ID) corresponding to a first topology, and a second BAP configuration associated with a second topology ID corresponding to a second topology that overlaps at least in part with the first topology. The first network node determines with which traffic is associated routes traffic associated with the first topology ID based on the first BAP configuration, and traffic associated with the second topology ID based on the second BAP configuration.

A technique uses a managed computing device to extend management control by an organization to IoT (Internet of Things) devices in a local environment of the computing device. The computing device discovers any local IoT devices and participates in a communication with a server to bring one or more of the IoT devices under management control. In some examples, extending management control involves enrolling selected IoT devices into a management framework of the organization and directing communications between the server and the respective IoT devices through the managed device, which provides a point-of-presence for administering management of the selected IoT devices in the local environment.

A method and system for supporting roaming broadband services. The method is implemented by a computing device in a parent provider network of a user having a unique user identifier to enable the user to utilize services associated with a broadband access service contract of the user of the parent provider network in a visited location in the parent provider network or in a roaming provider network. The method includes receiving a registration request from the user, determining the unique user identifier for the user, determining services for the user based on the unique user identifier, determining whether the user is connected to a home customer premise equipment (CPE) in the parent provider network, and configuring services and resources at a local data center in the parent provider network, in response to the user being connected to the visited location in the parent provider network.

A method for identifying a specific location on a specific route, a daily specific route of a user may be predicted based on a daily behavior habit of the user, and a specific action related to the predicted specific route may be performed, for example, changing a network search interval; or searching for different network signals based on a network standard change; or when a terminal device runs an application, generating a message to indicate a time point at which the terminal device accesses an abnormal base station, to remind the user to cope with a network exception; or generating the message to send a cache request to a corresponding server.

Embodiments of this application provide a user plane rerouting method and apparatus. The method includes: a first network element receives user plane rerouting trigger information sent by a second network element, where the user plane rerouting trigger information is sent when the second network element detects a preset service packet that matches a packet detection rule PDR, and the PDR is used to indicate matching information and an execution rule that are corresponding to the preset service packet triggering user plane rerouting. The first network element further performs the user plane rerouting based on the user plane rerouting trigger information.
