The disclosure relates to a 5G or pre-5G communication system for supporting a higher data rate after a 4G communication system such as LTE. A method according to an embodiment of the disclosure is a control method in an edge enabler server (EES) of a mobile edge computing system, and may include subscribing to a user plane path change event at an edge application server (EAS); determining an application context relocation (ACR) based on receiving a user plane path management event notification from the mobile communication network in case of subscribing to the user plane path change event for the EAS; transmitting an ACR request message to the EAS; receiving an EAS response message from the EAS; and transmitting an application function (AF) acknowledgment message to a first node of the mobile communication network in response to receiving the EAS response message from the EAS.

At least one hardware processor (111) in a wireless access point (110) in a first local network (120) managed by the wireless access point (110) routes traffic between wireless devices (121, 122) in the first local network (120) and a second network via a first interface (113, 114) configured for communication with wireless devices (121, 122) in the first local network (120) and a second interface (115) configured for communication with the second network and, upon determination that communication via the second interface (115) is impossible, connects (S460) through a third interface (113, 114) to a second wireless access (130) point as a wireless device in a second local network (140) managed by the second wireless access point (130) and routes (S470) traffic between the wireless devices (121, 122) in the first local network (120) and the second network via the first interface (113, 114) and the third interface (113, 114). This way a back-up connection can be provided.

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide techniques for determining synchronization signal (SS)/physical broadcast channel (PBCH) block (SSB)-based measurement timing configuration (SMTC) for measurement objects for which a user equipment is to measure feedback information in one or more measurement gaps. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.

The present invention relates to a user device, a base station, and data transmission and reception methods to be performed by a user device and a base station in a communications system. The user device comprises circuitry which, in operation, calculates the starting location of a paging region comprising resources in which user devices are paged, the paging region including paging information for paging said user device; and determines an offset with respect to the starting location of the paging region, the offset indicating the location of the paging information for paging said user device relative to the starting location of the paging region.

A method for utilizing quality of service information in a network with tunneled backhaul is disclosed, comprising: establishing a backhaul bearer at a base station with a first core network, the backhaul bearer established by a backhaul user equipment (UE) at the base station, the backhaul bearer having a single priority parameter, the backhaul bearer terminating at a first packet data network gateway in the first core network; establishing an encrypted internet protocol (IP) tunnel between the base station and a coordinating gateway in communication with the first core network and a second core network; facilitating, for at least one UE attached at the base station, establishment of a plurality of UE data bearers encapsulated in the secure IP tunnel, each with their own QCI; and transmitting prioritized data of the plurality of UE data bearers via the backhaul bearer and the coordinating gateway to the second core network.

A base station determines a temporal filter configuration for a user equipment (UE) and transmits the temporal filter configuration to the UE. The temporal filter configuration indicates whether the UE should apply a temporal filter to channel state information (CSI) measurements to generate CSI values, or identifies which temporal filter to apply. The UE generates CSI values based on the temporal filter configuration and reports the generated CSI values to the base station.
