A method comprises receiving, by a shim application of a user equipment (UE), an outbound communication from a first application destined for an external device, prior to transmitting the outbound communication to the external device, determining, by the shim application, whether to forward the outbound communication to the external device, via a radio interface of the UE, based on a first policy, receiving, by the shim application, an inbound communication destined for a second application from the external device, via the radio interface, determining, by the shim application, whether to forward the inbound communication to the second application based on a second policy, receiving, by the shim application, an inter-enclave communication from the first application destined for the second application, and determining, by the shim application, whether to forward the inter-enclave communication to the second application based on the second policy.

A method for communicating delegated NF discovery results between SCPs and using the delegated NF discovery results for alternate SBI service request routing includes receiving, at a first SCP and from a consumer NF instance, an SBI service request. The method further includes determining that delegated NF discovery is required, and, in response, performing delegated NF discovery on behalf of the consumer NF instance. The method further includes receiving an NF discovery response including delegated NF discovery results. The method further includes sending the SBI service request including the delegated NF discovery results to a second SCP. The method further includes receiving, at a second SCP, the SBI service request including the delegated NF discovery results, forwarding the SBI service request towards a first producer NF instance selected by the first SCP, detecting failure of routing or processing of the SBI service request, and using the delegated NF discovery results for alternate routing of the SBI service request.

Provided is a wireless communication terminal that communicates wirelessly. The terminal includes: a transceiver; and a processor. The processor is configured to receive a frame through the transceiver, determine whether the frame is classified into an Intra-Basic Service Set (BSS) frame or an Inter-BSS frame according to a BSS from which the frame is transmitted, and access a channel according to whether the frame is an Intra-BSS frame or an Inter-BSS frame.

There are provided measures for enabling/realizing network slice discovery in an overlapping network slice deployment. Such measures exemplarily comprise registration of a network slice mapping between a network slice identification information and a network slice type information for at least one service-related network slice in an overlapping network slice deployment, said network slice type information being indicative of a service-related capability of the at least one service-related network slice, and identification of a service-related network slice in the overlapping network slice deployment on the basis of the registered network slice mapping and a service.

Apparatuses and methods are disclosed for SIB1-NB transmission. In one embodiment, a method performed by a network node configured to include a scheduling information parameter in a master information block, MIB, and communicate the MIB to a wireless device, the scheduling information parameter usable to schedule a system information block type 1 for narrow band communication, SIB1-NB, for a time division duplex, TDD transmission is provided. The method comprising indicating the SIB1-NB scheduling information for TDD at least in part by a value of the scheduling information parameter being associated with a predefined entry in at least one TDD-specific table, the indicated SIB1-NB scheduling information including: at least one subframe to use for the SIB1-NB transmission; a number of repetitions of the SIB1-NB transmission; and a transport block size, TBS, to use for the SIB1-NB transmission.
