A method and apparatus for updating a radio notification area. The method is applicable to a terminal configured with at least a first subscriber identity module (SIM) card and a second SIM card, and includes: receiving configuration information sent by a first base station; when the second SIM card is to be handed over to a second base station, sending radio notification area update information of the first SIM card to the second SIM card based on the configuration information in response to that the second base station is located outside a radio notification area configured by the first base station for the first SIM card; and sending, through the second SIM card and to the first base station, a measurement report of handing over to the second base station, wherein the measurement report includes the radio notification area update information of the first SIM card.

The inter-system ping-pong suppression method, an apparatus, a terminal device and a storage medium are provided. The method comprises: determining a target network standard in at least two network standards when the terminal device is in inter-system ping-pong state, wherein the inter-system ping-pong state refers to a state that the terminal device repeatedly switches between cells of at least two network standards; closing the network capability of the terminal device in other network standards, wherein the other network standards are the network standards other than the target network standard among at least two network standards.

In processing of initializing a setting of a communication parent device, whether a communication child device has been registered is determined. In a case where the communication child device has been registered, a user is notified that the communication child device has been registered, and the user is guided to registration removal processing for the communication child device. In a case where removal of registration of the communication child device is instructed by the user's operation, registration information of the communication child device in the communication parent device is deleted.

The present disclosure relates to the field of network slicing in wireless communication. In accordance with an aspect of the disclosure, a method performed by an access and mobility function (AMF) entity is provided. The method includes receiving, from a user equipment (UE), a registration request including a requested network slice selection assistance information (NSSAI); transmitting, to a Network Slice Admission Control Function (NSACF) entity, a request for determination of an availability of a number of UEs based on the registration request; and in case that a rejection for the request is received from the NSACF, transmitting, to the UE, information on a back-off timer.

Methods and apparatus in a fifth-generation wireless communications, including an example method, in a wireless device, that includes receiving a downlink signal comprising an uplink access configuration index, using the uplink access configuration index to identify an uplink access configuration from among a predetermined plurality of uplink access configurations, and transmitting to the wireless communications network according to the identified uplink access configuration. The example method further includes, in the same wireless device, receiving, in a first subframe, a first Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplexing (OFDM) transmission formatted according to a first numerology and receiving, in a second subframe, a second OFDM transmission formatted according to a second numerology, the second numerology differing from the first numerology. Variants of this method, corresponding apparatuses, and corresponding network-side methods and apparatuses are also disclosed.

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to methods, devices and computer readable media for communications. A method for communications implemented by a terminal device comprises in response to receiving, at a terminal device from a network device, a message indicating that the terminal device is to enter an inactive state, entering the inactive state. The message comprises a resource configuration for data transmission between the terminal device and the network device. The method further comprises performing the data transmission based on the resource configuration.

An electronic device according to various embodiments of the present invention may include an antenna module configured to sense an electromagnetic (EM) signal generated from an external electronic device, a communication module, a processor operatively connected to the antenna module and the communication module, and a memory storing instructions which, are configured to, when executed, cause the processor to identify the external electronic device based on at least part of the EM signal sensed from the external electronic device via the antenna module, identify whether the identified external electronic device is registered in a designated control application, and provide information related to the external electronic device based on whether the external electronic device is registered. In addition, other various embodiments of the present invention may be possible.
