A messaging method includes causing a mobile device to be registered in a database by storing identification information associated with the mobile device in the database and storing network connectivity information indicative of whether the mobile device is connected to a wireless network in the database. The method also includes facilitating a message to be communicated to the mobile device from a messaging device remote from the mobile device by causing the identification information and the network connectivity information to be communicated to the messaging device.

According to certain embodiments, an electronic device, comprises: a communication circuit; and at least one processor operatively connected with the communication circuit, wherein the at least one processor is configured to: transmit, to a server through the communication circuit, a registration request message including information indicating that it is possible for the electronic device to perform an access point (AP) operation, receive, from the server through the communication circuit, an AP operation command message commanding to perform an AP operation and including access information of an AP in which a failure state has occurred, and perform the AP operation which is based on the access information of the AP.

Provided are a wireless network device and an information collection method for the wireless network device, which are suitable for collecting large-capacity device information. A wireless network device is a wireless network device to be connected to a master node, the wireless network device including: a storage device that stores information on the subject device; and a control unit that detects that a storage capacity in the storage device has reached a certain capacity and performs control in such a way that information stored in the storage device is transmitted to a path to the master node.

Embodiments of this application disclose an intent management method and a related apparatus. The method includes: A first apparatus receives intent management capability information from a second apparatus, where the intent management capability information indicates intent management capability information supported by the second apparatus. Then, the first apparatus generates target intent information based on first information and a service requirement. Finally, the first apparatus sends the target intent information to the second apparatus. The target intent information is generated based on the service requirement and the intent management capability information supported by the second apparatus, and the target intent information meets a management requirement. Therefore, a degree of matching between the target intent information and the second apparatus can be effectively improved. This avoids a problem that the target intent information does not match the second apparatus, avoids repeated adjustment of the delivered intent information, and improves efficiency.

A data management apparatus manages a plurality of data items output by a plurality of communication devices that output data. The data management apparatus includes at least one memory configured to store instructions, and at least one processor configured to execute the instructions. The instructions, when executed by the at least one processor, include receiving a data acquisition request, including an application identification of an application from the data acquisition apparatus, extracting data output by the application on a communication device corresponding to the application identification included in the data acquisition request, among the plurality of data items received from the plurality of communication devices via a relay apparatus, and transmitting the extracted data to the data acquisition apparatus.

A control device (223) according to the present disclosure is a control device connected to a plurality of processing devices (240) and a base station device (260) via a network (20). The control device (223) includes a control unit (2233). The control unit (2233) acquires information regarding processing capabilities of the plurality of processing devices (240). The control unit (2233) selects a processing device (2403) that is to execute at least one function of a core network (225) connected to the base station device (260) from among the plurality of processing devices (240) based on the acquired information regarding the processing capabilities.

A base station of a communication system may include an antenna; a memory; and a processor. The processor analyzes a signal received through the antenna to determine if the received signal is a signal transmitted from a fake base station. Based on a determination that the source of the received signal is the fake base station, the processor generates a random access preamble signal for accessing the fake base station. The processor transmits the generated random access preamble signal through the antenna. Thus, the base station may effectively defend against an attack from a fake base station by detecting the fake base station based on collected information of a neighboring base station and causing radio resources of the detected fake base station to be exhausted. Various other embodiments are possible.

Various systems and methods for enhancing a distributed computing environment with multiple edge hosts and user devices, including in multi-access edge computing (MEC) network platforms and settings, are described herein. A device of a lifecycle management (LCM) proxy apparatus obtains a request, from a device application, for an application multiple context of an application. The application multiple context for the application is determined. The request from the device application for the application multiple context for the application is authorized. A device application identifier based on the request is added to the application multiple context. A created response for the device application based on the authorization of the request is transmitted to the device application. The response includes an identifier of the application multiple context.

A System and Method is provided that enable identifying cyber security attacks using observation and monitoring of end point activity. By following and monitoring the wireless connection related activities of endpoint devices as they cycle through various steps leading to establishing a connection to the secure network, a knowledge base is established in the cloud by analysis of the actions, and communication to build the confidence that the users of the network are where they should be. In one embodiment, no access is provided until a user presents valid credentials. Based on these credentials the network then builds a specific path based on access controls, tunnels or other techniques to control the user's communication and access to specific targets within the network.

A home appliance configured to be registered in a server, the home appliance includes: a wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi) module, based on the home appliance being registered in the server, communicatively connected to an access point (AP) and configured to periodically operate in an AP mode through a virtual interface, and a controller configured to control the Wi-Fi module to periodically operate in the AP mode. The Wi-Fi module is configured to generate a beacon signal to search for an unregistered home appliance based on the Wi-Fi module being operated in the AP mode.
