There is provided mechanisms for handling reporting of performance degradation from wireless devices in a communications system. A method is performed by a network node in the communications system. The method includes determining a configuration for real time reporting of events from wireless devices in idle mode. The events pertain to performance degradation experienced by the wireless devices when in idle mode. The configuration includes restrictions in terms of real time reporting of the events to the network node. The method includes providing information of the configuration to the wireless devices.

An interworking service entity receives server registration requests including indications of service layer protocols used by each server, maintains a repository of server information, and uses the repository for interworking requests of devices to servers of different protocols based on a server type provided in discovery requests. Other matching information may include, for example, server security protocol, supported services, service territory, availability, capacity, or loading, as device information or preferences, such as supported service, supported interface type, or a supported device type.

This application provides a method for sending a measurement report. The method includes a terminal device receiving first configuration information and second configuration information, where the first configuration information indicates a measurement resource and the second configuration information indicates a slot format of a non-serving cell of the terminal. The method also includes the terminal device sending a measurement report to a network device, where a measurement quantity type of the measurement report is related to the slot format of the non-serving cell, and the measurement report corresponds to the measurement resource.

An orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) base station operative to transmit a sequence of OFDM signals simultaneously using at least two separate twisted pairs, in which each of the OFDM signals is modulated by a plurality of sub-carriers. At least two converters are connected to the OFDM base station using the at least two twisted pairs, respectively, in which each of the converters, and simultaneously with the other converters, is configured to receive each of the OFDM signals from the OFDM base station using the respective twisted pair, up-convert the OFDM signal into a radio-frequency (RF) band, and re-transmit wirelessly the OFDM signal, in conjunction with the RF band, from at least one antenna associated with each converter.

A plurality of interworking functions, which provide interworking between a communication network acting as access network and another communication network, is associated with a plurality of network slices or non-public networks hosted by the other communication network. A user equipment performs connection (S301) to a communication network acting as access network, and selects (S303) an interworking function of the plurality of interworking functions based on information on a network slice or non-public network hosted by the other communication network, wherein the user equipment is associated with the network slice or non-public network.

A device and method for registering devices on advanced networks as well as providing operative communications between a legacy device and a advanced network. The legacy device may contain data, such as sensor data, which is being collected on a network outside the communication range/abilities of the legacy device. An intermediary device may receive the data via a first communication scheme and send the device to a server collecting the data via a second communication scheme.

Apparatuses, methods, and systems are disclosed for data packet routing in a remote unit. An apparatus includes a memory coupled to a processor, where the processor configured to cause the apparatus to receive a data packet to be transmitted and determine a matching UE route selection policy (“URSP”) rule for the data packet. The processor is configured to determine packet routing information for the data packet if the matching URSP rule does not indicate that direct offload of the data packet is preferred and determine whether the packet routing information matches a first network connection. Upon determining that the packet routing information matches the first network connection, the processor is configured to cause the apparatus to transmit the data packet to a mobile communication network over the first network connection.

A data communication system serves a User Equipment (UE) over a Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) network core. In the data communication system, a 3GPP UE client exchanges authentication data with the 3GPP network core over a non-3GPP link. The 3GPP network core authenticates the 3GPP UE client, selects a network slice for the 3GPP UE client, and establishes an N1 link for the network slice over the non-3GPP link. The 3GPP UE client exchanging network signaling with the 3GPP network core for the network slice over the N1 link. The 3GPP UE client exchanges additional authentication data with the 3GPP network core over the non-3GPP link. The 3GPP network core selects another network slice for the 3GPP UE client and establishes another N1 link for the other network slice over the non-3GPP link. The 3GPP UE client exchanges additional network signaling with the 3GPP network core for the other network slice over the other N1 link.
