The present disclosure provides a method and a device for non-IP data delivery in a communication system. The method for operating data by a network exposure node includes: receiving a request for operating the data; operating the data according to the request. The data includes a plurality of pieces of non-internet protocol data delivery (NIDD) data, which are buffered in a network and not delivered. The plurality of pieces of data already sent to the network exposure node may still be operated, for example cancelled or replaced, thus undesired actions of the UE may be better avoided.

A network function selectively supports a mobile device with network settings appropriate for the device context of the mobile device. The network function obtains a device profile for the mobile device, which identifies multiple device groups, with each device group being associated with a corresponding set of network settings. The network function selects a device group among the device groups in the device profile based on the device context of the mobile device. The network function directs at least one network function in the network to support the mobile device with a set of network settings corresponding to the selected device group.

Implementing communication barriers in a group-based communication system is described. In an example, a privacy setting associated with a communication privilege for communicating with a user of a group-based communication system can be stored, wherein the privacy setting permits the user to transmit communications via the group-based communication and restricts another user of the group-based communication system from communicating with the user. The group-based communication system can deny a communication privilege of the other user based at least in part on the privacy setting, wherein denying the communication privilege prohibits the other user from at least one of initiating a message associated with a user identifier of the user or transmitting the message to a client device associated with the user identifier.

A method for a UE for performing slice-based cell reselection is provided. The method includes receiving slice priority information including at least one slice and at least one priority value associated with the at least one slice; receiving frequency priority information including one or more slices, at least one frequency supporting the one or more slices, and one or more priority values associated with the one or more slices; selecting a first slice based on the slice priority information; determining whether a cell on the at least one frequency in the frequency priority information supports the first slice; reselecting a second slice when the UE determines that the cell does not support the first slice; and based on the second slice, the slice priority information, and the frequency priority information, determining at least one reselection priority for the at least one frequency in the frequency priority information.

An improved discontinuous reception (DRX) mechanism is disclosed. In one embodiment, a method is disclosed comprising receiving a request to attach to a cellular network from user equipment (UE). The method then identifies a group identifier associated with the UE and determines a DRX parameter based on the group identifier. Finally, the method transmits the DRX parameter to the UE.

The system allows real time collection and processing of massive data from many network elements. It has an elastic architecture that scales horizontally to support different network sizes. The system in a uniform data format for downstream consumption. It employs a pub/sub data distribution mechanism that supports multiple concurrent downstream subscribers efficiently in real-time.

Techniques associated with localizing data traffic for a time sensitive network within a virtualized radio access network are provided. In one embodiment, a method includes determining that a user equipment (UE) is associated with a time sensitive network; and localizing data traffic for the UE within a virtualized radio access network based on determining that the data traffic for the UE can be localized at one centralized user plane component of the virtualized radio access network for the time sensitive network. The data traffic can be Layer-2 data traffic or unstructured data traffic.

The present disclosure provides methods and network function nodes for managing a communication of contents for a first UE. The method includes retrieving subscription data for the first UE from a third NF node, the subscription data indicating an identifier of a second UE which is a target of the contents for the first UE, transmitting the contents and the identifier of the second UE to a second NF node, receiving a message built with the contents from the second NF node, and transmitting the message to the second UE. The present disclosure further provides corresponding computer readable medium.

The embodiments of the present disclosure provide a wireless communication method, a terminal device, and a server. The method includes: obtaining, by a terminal device, at least one application data and/or wireless protocol layer data in the terminal device; and transmitting, by the terminal device, the at least one application data and/or wireless protocol layer data of the terminal device to a data collection server. Therefore, the accuracy of data analysis can be improved.

As described herein, a system, method, and computer program are provided for orchestrating re-provisioning of network subscriber dedicated network slices. A request is received from an entity for use of a network. Network slice information indicating a plurality of slices of the network dedicated to a plurality of network subscribers is accessed. Provisioning of one of more slices of the plurality of slices to the entity is orchestrated, according to the request.
