Disclosed are techniques for wireless communication. In an aspect, a position estimation entity configures a sidelink anchor group with sidelink anchor(s), to which respective sidelink PRS pre-configuration(s) are sent. A UE transmits a request to schedule an on-demand sidelink PRS position estimation session of the UE. The position estimation entity provides the UE with assistance data associated with the sidelink anchor group for the on-demand sidelink PRS position estimation session. The UE sends the sidelink anchor group a sidelink PRS trigger to perform a sidelink PRS exchange with some or all of the sidelink anchor group in accordance with the respective sidelink PRS pre-configuration(s).

Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, attaching a mobile device to an initial bearer at a base station of a mobility network, monitoring a performance parameter for communication by the mobile device on the initial bearer, requesting, by the mobile device, information about other bearers at the base station of the mobility network, wherein the requesting is responsive to the performance parameter failing to exceed a predetermined performance threshold, receiving at the mobile device, network information about other bearers at the base station of the mobility network, the network information including current capacity information for the other bearers, selecting, by the mobile device, a selected alternative bearer based on the information about other bearers, and communicating, to the mobility network, a user equipment (UE) capabilities message identifying the selected alternative bearer and omitting the initial bearer to change bearers to obtain better communication performance at the mobile device. Other embodiments are disclosed.

The disclosure relates to a 5G or 6G communication system for supporting a higher data transmission rate. Embodiments herein disclose methods and systems of how an application function can request the Fifth Generation (5G) core network to perform a specific action, when a network slice quota reaches a maximum limit or when the behavior of the UE(s) falls outside the expected communication behavior.

A base station of a radio access network (RAN) can be configured to prioritize standalone (SA) 5G traffic over non-standalone (NSA) 5G traffic in certain situations, to improve user experiences associated with 5G-specific services implemented via SA 5G networks. The base station can generally instruct 5G user equipment (UE), such SA UEs and NSA UEs, to prioritize camping on an SA priority band. However, if a RAN load level is at or above a threshold, the base station can instruct NSA UEs to prioritize camping on a different priority band in order to relieve congestion on the SA priority band and/or preserve remaining capacity on the SA priority band for SA UEs. When the RAN load level is above a threshold, the base station can also, or alternately, at least briefly delay traffic associated with NSA UEs to prioritize transmission of traffic associated with SA UEs.

Provided are a wireless communication method, a network device and a terminal device. The method includes: after acquiring a PSI parameter of a terminal device, a first network device determines whether to update policy information of the terminal device, wherein the PSI parameter is used for identifying a part of policy information for the terminal device under a subscribed user. In an implementation of the present disclosure, after acquiring a Policy Section Identifier (PSI) parameter of a terminal device, a first network device directly determines whether to update policy information of the terminal device.

A more efficient over-the-air software push can be facilitated by a firmware over-the-air (FOTA) server device in communication with a home subscriber server (HSS). For example, the FOTA server can host the names of user equipment devices that are due for a FOTA update. When a user equipment device identification is received from the HSS, the FOTA server can then check the user equipment device identification against the names within the server. If the name is found, then the system can send discontinuous reception data to the user equipment device to modify a current discontinuous reception value of the user equipment device. Thus, the modified discontinuous reception value can prompt a long reception time of the user equipment device such that the user equipment device can receive the FOTA.

A wireless User Equipment (UE) and an Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF) establish first and second active registrations and corresponding N1s. The UE and AMF deactivate the second active registration and establish a third active registration and corresponding N1. The UE and AMF exchange active N1 signaling for the first active registration and the third active registration. The UE and AMF exchange inactive N1 signaling for the second inactive registration.

The present disclosure relates to a communication method and system for converging a 5th-Generation (5G) communication system for supporting higher data rates beyond a 4th-Generation (4G) system with a technology for Internet of Things (IoT). The present disclosure may be applied to intelligent services based on the 5G communication technology and the IoT-related technology, such as smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car, connected car, health care, digital education, smart retail, security and safety services. A method for replacement of a DNN and/or S-NSSAI in a wireless communication system is provided.
