A collection device includes a deciding unit that, on the basis of data obtained in advance for each area, decides a collection interval and a collection time for each of the areas, a communication unit that acquires a current position from each of measurement terminals, and an allocating unit that, in a case where there is an area corresponding to the current position acquired regarding each of the measurement terminals, calculates a slot count of slots regarding which the collection interval and the collection time are cyclically allocated, on the basis of the collection interval and the collection time of this area, and allocates slot Nos. of an amount equivalent to the slot count, to any of the measurement terminals present in this area, by a predetermined method. The communication unit transmits, to each of the measurement terminals to which slot Nos. are allocated, the collection interval of the area in which the measurement terminal is present, the collection time of this area, the slot count of this area, and the slot No. allocated to the measurement terminal, and receives measurement information including measurement data measured on the basis of the collection interval and the collection time, from each of the measurement terminals to which slot Nos. are allocated.

Provided is a method for a user equipment (UE), comprising: acquiring a notification for participating in an access control process for an multicast/broadcast service (MBS) session; and participating in an access control process for the MBS session by using MBS specific configuration information.

A method related to emergency service and a user equipment (UE) are provided. In the method, SNPN access mode is operated. A SNPN selection for a selected SNPN is performed in response to operating in the SNPN AM. A cell selection for a selected cell is performed in response to the SNPN selection. A support indication associated with the selected SNPN is received in response to the cell selection. The support indication indicates whether the selected SNPN supports IMS emergency service. The support indication is forwarded to a NAS layer of the UE from a RRC layer of the UE when the support indication indicates that the selected SNPN supports the IMS emergency service. The cell selection is performed for an acceptable cell of another SNPN supporting the IMS emergency service when the support indication indicates that the selected SNPN does not support the IMS emergency service.

Device Assisted Services (DAS) for protecting network capacity is provided. In some embodiments, DAS for protecting network capacity includes monitoring a network service usage activity of the communications device in network communication; classifying the network service usage activity for differential network access control for protecting network capacity; and associating the network service usage activity with a network service usage control policy based on a classification of the network service usage activity to facilitate differential network access control for protecting network capacity.

A service processing method, a service processing apparatus, and a communications system are provided. The service processing method includes: receiving, by an access network device, from a core network device, a bearer setup request message of a voice over Long Term Evolution (VoLTE) service; and rejecting, by the access network device, the bearer setup request message when determining that LTE network signal quality of a terminal of the VoLTE service cannot satisfy the VoLTE service.

Accordingly, embodiments herein disclose a method for handling a closed access group (CAG) related procedure in a wireless communication system. A network may receive a radio resource control (RRC) resume request message from a user equipment (UE). The network may determine whether the at least one CAG identifier (ID) broadcasted in a CAG cell is included in an allowed CAG list of the UE (100) in response to the RRC resume request message. The network may proceed with a RRC resume procedure in response to determining that the at least one CAG ID is included in the allowed CAG list.

A quick relay communication protocol is used by an initiating communication device (such as a wearable electronic device, e.g., a smart watch) and/or a recipient communication device (such as a companion electronic device to the wearable electronic device, e.g., a smart phone, a tablet computer or a laptop computer) to selectively communicate messages via different communication channels. Based on available connections and a communication constraint associated with a message, a processor executing a program module in an application layer in the initiating communication device provides transmission instructions to an interface circuit in the initiating communication device, which transmits a message to the recipient communication device based on the transmission instructions. When there are currently no available connections and the message is eligible to be communicated through a cloud-based relay server, the processor establishes a cloud-based connection with the recipient communication device via the relay server.
