Various embodiments disclose a method that includes: attempting to detect, with a first transceiver associated with a first node, a network discovery signal, wherein the attempting is performed according to (a) a first listening schedule associated with a first physical layer mode and (b) a second listening schedule associated with a second physical layer mode; detecting, with the first transceiver, the network discovery signal during a slot associated with the first listening schedule; and in response to detecting the network discovery signal, establishing, with the first node, a connection between the first node and the second node using the first physical layer mode.

Aspects are provided which allow an MA PDU session to establish over two 3GPP accesses respectively via different PLMNs associated with respective USIMs of a MUSIM device. During registration, the MUSIM UE may transmit a registration request to a base station of a first PLMN indicating a UE capability for a MA PDU session associated with a MUSIM device. The MA PDU session includes a plurality of PDU sessions associated with a single access type. Afterwards, the UE may transmit a PDU session establishment request for a first PDU session of the PDU sessions in the first PLMN and for a second PDU session of the PDU sessions in a second PLMN, where the first PLMN is associated with a first USIM of the UE, and the second PLMN is associated with a second USIM of the UE. Consequently, MA PDU sessions associated with MUSIM devices may be established.

A method is provided. The method includes selecting a standalone augmented reality (STAR) media content including a scene for transmission over a 5G media streaming (5GMS) network, creating, in an outer session loop, an augmented reality (AR)/mixed reality (MR) session for streaming the STAR media content, rendering, in an inner session loop within the outer session loop, the STAR media content, and updating, in the outer session loop, the scene with a new scene by providing the new scene to the inner session loop while the inner session loop renders the STAR media content.

Methods and apparatuses are disclosed for internet protocol (IP) and non-IP data communication. According to an embodiment, a network exposure node performs a configuration procedure such that both IP data delivery (IPDD) and non-IP data delivery (NIDD) can be supported through a unified interface between the network exposure node and a server. The network exposure node performs IPDD or NIDD through the unified interface.

A method for robust moving between a roaming Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) network and a non-3GPP network is provided. The method includes the steps of: connecting with a home 3GPP network over one of a roaming 3GPP network and a non-3GPP network by a User Equipment (UE); performing a first initial attach procedure with the home 3GPP network over the other of the roaming 3GPP network and the non-3GPP network by the UE in response to the UE moving from the one of the roaming 3GPP network and the non-3GPP network to the other of the roaming 3GPP network and the non-3GPP network; and keeping the connection over the one of the roaming 3GPP network and the non-3GPP network by the UE during the first initial attach procedure over the other of the roaming 3GPP network and the non-3GPP network.

A method is disclosed for handling cloud computing resources in a wireless communication network comprising a first and a second access subnetwork providing wireless access to wireless communication devices residing in a first and a second geographic area, respectively, and a first and a second cloud computing resource connected to the first and the second access subnetwork, respectively. The method comprises obtaining mobility information over a time period for the wireless communication devices of when, during the time period, each of the devices has wireless access to the communication network via the first access subnetwork and when they have wireless access to the communication network via the second access subnetwork. The method also comprises selecting which of the first or second cloud computing resource that is to serve each of the devices based on the obtained mobility information, and sending an instruction to each of the devices to connect to a server that is connected to the selected cloud computing resource for that wireless communication device.

A method for balancing sensors within a sensor system, the method including receiving, at a gateway, data from a plurality of sensors, each of the plurality of sensors being connected to one of a plurality of sensor modules or the gateway; determining, at the gateway, that a signal strength from a first sensor falls below a threshold, the first sensor being one of the plurality of sensors; and based on the determining, allocating the first sensor to connect to a different one of the plurality of sensor modules, or to the gateway if connected to one of the plurality of sensor modules.

A method for forwarding a non-access stratum (NAS) message of a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system is disclosed. The method includes sending an uplink (UL) NAS message including a session management (SM) message to an access and mobility management function (AMF), and receiving, from the AMF, an indication message indicating that the SM message is unroutable, wherein indication information indicating that the SM message is unroutable is delivered to a SM sublayer of the UE.

Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, embodiments that include accessing a group of user controlled mobile equipment access point names in response to the device detecting a user controlled mobile equipment access point name elementary file (EF_UMEAPN) stored in a memory of a universal integrated circuit card (UICC). An operator stores access point name information and the access point name information comprises the EF_UMEAPN. Further embodiments include configuring the device according to the group of user controlled mobile equipment access point names. Other embodiments are disclosed.
