Provided are a resource sharing method and apparatus, an electronic device and a computer-readable medium, which relate to the technical field of information exchange. The method comprises includes: acquiring user information of at least one candidate user; displaying the user information, and receiving a selection operation of a first user for the user information; and determining a second terminal device according to the selection operation, and sending, to the second terminal device and by means of short-distance communication, resources to be shared.

A method in a configuration server for configuring a communication system comprises configuring a plurality of nodes in a first cluster, and configuring a plurality of nodes in at least a second cluster, such that the configuration server acts as a common configuration server for at least first and second clusters. A method in a node associated with a cluster comprises determining a configuration service address relating to a common configuration server that is adapted to configure the cluster associated with the node and at least one other cluster, sending a request for configuration information to the common configuration server, and receiving configuration information from the common configuration server.

In order to make priority control applicable to a packet from an apparatus, which requires the priority control, independently of the transfer path of the packet, a communication apparatus includes a determination unit, a setting unit, and a priority control unit. The determination unit determines whether a transmission source address of a received packet has been registered in a priority control list as an address of a first apparatus. The setting unit sets a first priority level in a predetermined field in a header of the received packet when the transmission source address of the received packet has been registered in the priority control list as the address of the first apparatus. The priority control unit performs transmission control in accordance with the first priority level with respect to the received packet in which the first priority level has been set.

A paging method for use in a network access device, includes: acquiring an identifier of a terminal being called in a voice service of a Packet Switched domain; generating a paging message according to the identifier of the terminal being called, the paging message including a core network domain name field and a value of the core network domain name field corresponding to the voice service of the Packet Switched domain; and sending the paging message to the terminal being called.

The disclosed system and method obtain a report of an issue reported by a user of the wireless telecommunication network, and historical information associated with the user and the wireless telecommunication network. The historical information includes multiple issues reported by users similar to the user, and multiple user statuses associated with the users similar to the user. The user status among the multiple user statuses includes active and inactive, indicating whether the user is an active member of the telecommunication network or has left the network. The system provides the historical information to an AI model, and obtains from the AI model a priority associated with the issue experienced by the user. The system causes a resolution of the issue based on the priority.

A computer-implemented method, medium, and system for implementing a pluggable diagnostic tool for Telco radio access network (RAN) troubleshooting are disclosed. In one computer-implemented method, one or more containerized network function (CNF) instances are generated in a container orchestration platform by a test system and by using a telecommunication cloud automation (TCA) platform executed in the container orchestration platform, where the test system is onboarded to the TCA platform, and the one or more CNF instances are associated with 5G RAN. A customer resources (CR) file is received by the test system, where the CR file defines multiple test cases associated with validation of the TCA platform. The CR file is transmitted to a cluster of nodes in the container orchestration platform. The validation of the TCA platform is executed at the cluster of nodes based on the one or more CNF instances and the CR file.

Various embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method for communication services. The method may be performed by a first device which is able to be attached to a radio access network node. The method comprises receiving a first message for a service from a second device via a short range communication. In accordance with an exemplary embodiment, the method further comprises transmitting, via a cellular network, a second message for the service to an application apparatus in a core network through the radio access network node, according to the first message for the service.

An Integrated Access and Backhaul (JAB) node incorporates two functions, a so-called “base station” function and a so-called “mobile terminal” function. In order to limit the interferences between base stations, all IAB nodes in the same network must be synchronised with one another. In order to ensure this synchronisation, each IAB node may use a time shift value transmitted by its parent node. However, since an IAB architecture is an arborescent architecture, errors in measuring an estimated time shift value for a given IAB node have repercussions on the measurements of estimated time shift values for its child node and so on. Accordingly, the “base station” function of a child IAB node is not activated as long as a time shift value determined by its parent node does not meet a synchronisation criterion.
