A first BLUETOOTH device includes a transceiver configured to receive a control procedure packet from a second BLUETOOTH device during a BLUETOOTH connection event of a BLUETOOTH connection between the first BLUETOOTH device and the second BLUETOOTH device. The first BLUETOOTH device also includes a controller coupled to the transceiver and configured to set a more data (MD) bit of a response packet to the control procedure packet to a first value independent of whether the first BLUETOOTH device has more data to send to the second BLUETOOTH device. The first value corresponds to maintaining the BLUETOOTH connection event open. The transceiver is further configured to send the response packet to the second BLUETOOTH device during the BLUETOOTH connection event.

Systems and methods for facilitating communicative connection for a user device are disclosed. Based on a request for communicative connection, a communication facilitator identifies a set of candidate communications service providers (CSPs) to match the request, provides information regarding the set of candidate CSPs to the user device, receives an indication of selection, and causes establishment of communicative connection for the user device via a communications service provided by the selected CSP.

The present disclosure relates to a communication method and system for converging a 5.sup.th-Generation (5G) communication system for supporting higher data rates beyond a 4.sup.th-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. The present disclosure provides a method for controlling a user equipment (UE) context and a UE connection, which includes: a first node obtains resume requirement information of a UE; the first node determines whether to resume the UE context, and/or, the UE connection, based on the resume requirement information of the UE. The present disclosure also provides a device for controlling UE context and UE connection.

A power receiving apparatus, which has a first communication function and a second communication function, controls the first communication function to receive a first signal including information representing whether a power transmission apparatus can execute control communication using a second method, controls, based on the information representing that the power transmission apparatus can execute the control communication using the second method, the first communication function to transmit, to the power transmission apparatus, a second signal to request identification information of the power transmission apparatus for the communication of the second method and receive the identification information from the power transmission apparatus, and determines which one of the first communication function and a second communication function should be used for the control communication, based on the first signal and whether the identification information is received.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, a terminal may store a time correction value acquired from an RA response message during an RRC layer connection to a base station, receive, from the base station, an uplink resource allocation message including an uplink resource allocated to the terminal, after the RRC layer connection to the base station is released, and when an RRC layer connection to the base station is determined, establish the RRC layer connection to the base station without transmitting an RA preamble message, on the basis of the stored time correction value and the allocated uplink resource.

A wireless device receives access network information indicating an access network type. Based on the access network type, a non-access stratum (NAS) period is selected among: a first value associated with a geostationary earth orbit (GEO) non-terrestrial network (NTN) access network type; and a second value associated with a low earth orbit (LEO) NTN access network type. A NAS procedure is initiated by sending a NAS request message. A start of the NAS period is based on the sending. The NAS procedure is aborted based on an expiry of the NAS period.

An information processing apparatus connectable to one or more devices via a network. The apparatus includes a measuring unit measuring an inclination of the apparatus; a determining unit determining whether the inclination of the apparatus relative to a given surface of one of the one or more devices is within a predetermined inclination range; a receiving unit that receives radio waves; an obtaining unit obtaining identification information from the radio waves; a radio wave strength measuring unit measuring strength of the radio waves; a selection unit determining whether to select a given one of the one or more devices based on the strength of the radio waves; and a connection unit connecting the information processing apparatus to one of the one or more devices selected by the selection unit and for which the inclination of the apparatus is within the predetermined inclination range.
