A radio access network handover method of a base station in a 5G radio access network (5G-RAN) is are disclosed. The method comprising: determining handing over a user equipment (UE) to an Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access Network (E-UTRAN); transmitting a handover requirement message to an Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF); receiving a handover command message from the AMF and transmitting the handover command message to the UE, the handover message such that the UE is handed over from the 5G-RAN to the E-UTRAN; and performing indirect data forwarding to a base station in the E-UTRAN.

A method and system are disclosed for determining the geographic location of a user communicating on a communications network such as the Internet. In one embodiment, a provider of a product or service: (a) receives the user's phone number (or other identification for contacting the user's station), and (b) supplies the user's station with a distinctive identifier. The provider then supplies a location determining service with the user's phone number (or other identification). A phone call is made to the phone number by the location determining service for retrieving the distinctive identifier from the network station having the phone number. If the distinctive identifier is retrieved and the location determining service determines that the user's station is within an appropriate geographical area (or not within an inappropriate area), then the provider can provide the requested product or service to the user.

Method of dynamically assigning storage locations starts with the processor updating first user's home location data. Processor selects communication session between first user and second user and determines second user's home location data. Processor determines a session location data that indicates current storage location that stores data of communication session received from first and second client devices. Processor identifies available data storage locations based on first user and second user's home location data and determines whether to update the session location data based on an average of a distance over network fiber using the first user and second user's home locations, current storage location, and available storage locations. In response to determining to update the session location data, processor updates session location data to indicate one of the available storage locations, and causes transfer of data of communication session to one of the available storage locations. Other embodiments are described.

A data transmission method and apparatus. The method is applied to a first integrated access and backhaul (IAB) donor, and includes: receiving a first message from a core network element, where the first message carries an identifier of a first protocol data unit (PDU) session and a first data network name (DNN) associated with the identifier of the first PDU session, and the first DNN indicates a local data network corresponding to a first IAB node; the first IAB node includes a first IAB central unit-user plane (CU-UP), a first IAB-distributed unit (DU), and a first IAB-mobile terminal (MT); and the first IAB CU-UP is connected to the local data network; and notifying the first IAB CU-UP to establish the first PDU session.

Techniques that provide low latency traffic segregation to ensure an edge user plane (UP) is not overloaded are described herein in at least one embodiment. In at least one embodiment, a method may include determining offload of low latency traffic of a user equipment (UE) at a mobile network edge, wherein the UE has non-low latency traffic associated with a first packet data network session for an access point name; notifying the UE to request creation of a second packet data network session for the access point name; selecting an edge UP element to handle the low latency traffic for the second packet data network session; creating the second packet data network session at the selected edge UP element; and notifying the UE that second packet data network session is created.
