A system for exchanging GPS or other position data between wireless devices for purposes of group activities, child location monitoring, work group coordination, dispatching of employees etc. Cell phones and other wireless devices with GPS receivers have loaded therein a Buddy Watch application and a TalkControl application. The Buddy Watch application communicates with the GPS receiver and other wireless devices operated by buddies registered in the users phone as part of buddy groups or individually. GPS position data and historical GPS position data can be exchanged between cell phones of buddies and instant buddies such as tow truck drivers via a buddy watch server. Emergency monitoring services can be set up with notifications to programmable individuals in case an individual does not respond. Positions and tracks can be displayed. TalkControl simplifies and automates the process of joining talk groups for walkie talkie services such as that provided by Nextel.

The present disclosure relates to paging methods and apparatus. One example method includes sending, by a distributed unit (DU), first signaling to a centralized unit (CU), where the first signaling is used to indicate a network that can be accessed by the DU, and receiving, by the DU, second signaling from the CU, where the second signaling is used to send an auxiliary configuration parameter of the CU for the DU, and the second signaling comprises a non-public networks (NPN) identifier.

A method and device for resource coordination are provided. The method comprises an operation as follows. A terminal device sends a first request message to a network device to which a first subscriber identity card is connected. The first request message is used for requesting the network device to configure or reserve a first resource, and the terminal device having the first subscriber identity card and a second subscriber identity card.

A method for service processing and a user equipment are provided, and the method for service processing includes: starting a back-off timer, after receiving a rejection response message sent by a network side through a 3GPP access; and stopping the back-off timer and triggering a service request process that is based on the 3GPP access, when a non-access stratum notification message sent by the network side through a non-3GPP access is received before the back-off timer expires.

A method and an apparatus for paging monitoring are provided. The method is performed by a user equipment and includes receiving a first paging configuration associated with a first radio access network, receiving a second paging configuration associated with a second radio access network from the first radio access network, monitoring at least one first paging occasion for the first radio access network based on the first paging configuration received from the first radio access network, and monitoring at least one second paging occasion for the second radio access network based on the second paging configuration received from the first radio access network, when the UE switches from a first cell of the first radio access network to camp on a second cell of the second radio access network.

Aspects of the disclosure relate to paging multiple subscription devices during a common paging occasion. In an aspect, a core network device may perform a first network registration with a first wireless device using a first subscription, wherein performing the first network registration includes associating a paging reference identifier with the first subscription. The core network device perform a second network registration with a second wireless device using a second subscription, wherein performing the second network registration includes associating the paging reference identifier further with the second subscription. The core network device may further request a base station to page the first wireless device and the second wireless device during a paging occasion based on the paging reference identifier.

A user equipment (UE) includes first and second subscriber identity modules (SIMs), possibly subscribed to different carriers. When the first SIM is in a connected state and the second SIM is in an idle state, the UE may need to periodically tune away a radio from a first frequency used for communication under the first SIM to a second frequency used for idle mode activity under the second SIM. The UE may provide to the network of the first SIM the second SIMs traffic activity pattern and/or serving frequency so that the network may provide coordinated configuration and/or scheduling for the UE device, e.g., in order to make the action of tuning away (and tuning back) the radio more efficient and/or to decrease the network impact of such radio tune aways (e.g., to decrease wasted uplink scheduling and wasted downlink transmissions for the first SIM).

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. According to various embodiments of the present invention, provided are a method and a device for performing a paging operation in a plurality of SIMs in a next generation mobile communication system.
