A method for activating at least one communication interface of a residential gateway of a local communication network to which a main item of equipment configured for connecting to the at least one communication interface of the residential gateway is connected is disclosed. This method is implemented by at least one secondary item of equipment configured for communicating with the at least one main item of equipment via a first wireless communication channel, and with the residential gateway via a second wireless communication channel associated with at least one other communication interface of the residential gateway. This method includes transmitting to the at least one main item of equipment, over the first wireless communication channel, of a message controlling the at least one main item of equipment, and transmitting to the residential gateway, over the second wireless communication channel, of a request to activate the at least one communication interface.

The present disclosure relates to a 5.sup.th generation (5G) or pre-5G communication system for supporting a higher data rate than that of a 4.sup.th generation (4G) communication system such as long-term evolution (LTE). A method for operating a device for adaptively changing or selecting a computing structure and wireless communication protocol structure can comprise the steps of: receiving a device capability information request message of the device from a base station; determining a device capability information message indicating the computing capability and protocol capability of the device; transmitting the device capability information message to the base station; and receiving a radio resource control (RRC) message on the basis of the computing structure and protocol structure configured by the base station.

A Bluetooth connection method and a related apparatus are disclosed, and relate to the field of short-range wireless communications technologies. A first electronic device establishes a BLE connection to a second electronic device, and exchanges data with the second electronic device based on a first connection interval. The first electronic device further establishes a BR/EDR connection to a third electronic device. When device class information of the second electronic device is the same as device class information prestored in a memory, the first electronic device exchanges data with the second electronic device based on a second connection interval. The second connection interval is greater than the first connection interval. In this way, a throughput speed of exchanging data by the third electronic device can be increased.

This information processing apparatus includes a control unit that determines, on the basis of one or more pieces of sensor data generated by a sensor that measures an external environment and generates sensor data, whether to suppress transmission of the sensor data from the sensor. The control unit calculates a value related to a difference between a plurality of pieces of sensor data generated by the sensor at different points of time and determines whether to suppress the transmission of the sensor data from the sensor on the basis of the calculated value related to the difference.

According to an embodiment of the disclosure, provided are an operation method of a first user equipment (UE), and the first UE, in a wireless communication system. The operation method of the first UE includes: transmitting, to a second UE, UE sidelink capability information including out-of-order delivery capability information of a packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) layer of the first UE; and receiving, from the second UE, out-of-order delivery configuration information configured for a sidelink radio bearer, based on the out-of-order delivery capability information of the PDCP layer of the first UE. Also, the operation method of the first UE further includes processing sidelink data received from the second UE, based on the out-of-order delivery configuration information.

A communication procedure may be used for multiple access. A wireless device may be capable of simultaneously accessing a plurality of networks that are associated with a visited network. The visited network may or may not allow the wireless device to simultaneously access the plurality of networks, for example, based on a status of the visited network. Prior to a wireless device requesting access to a plurality of networks, a visited network may indicate whether the visited network supports, for the wireless device, simultaneous access to a plurality of networks.

A computer software application running on a wireless communication device determines whether an application scenario is urgent or nonurgent, and determines whether the user state is interest, uninterested or absent. The application sends the application scenario and the user state to a wireless networking device. The wireless networking device determines the user roles of different wireless communication devices. It further adjusts priorities of data packets destined to the wireless communication device based on the application scenario, the user state and the user role when downlink to the wireless communication device is congested. The priority is decreased when the application scenario is unurgent, the user role is a listener, and the user state is uninterested or absent.

A communication method and apparatus. The communication method includes reporting a capability parameter set, in which the capability parameter set represents information on a capability supported by the terminal; and receiving first schedule information sent by a network device, in which the first schedule information includes second schedule information corresponding to a capability parameter subset, and the capability parameter subset includes a capability parameter matching a business requirement of the terminal in the capability parameter set.

A data forwarding method and apparatus in a Bluetooth Mesh network are disclosed. According to the present disclosure, on the basis of not changing the original Bluetooth protocol, switching is performed to transmit the forwarded data at different transmission rates multiple times. The transmission distance difference between different transmission rates is used to achieve regional flood forwarding, thereby reducing a large number of flooding of device nodes in the network and avoiding network congestion, and improving the performance of the entire Bluetooth Mesh network.

A method, implemented in a cloud-based system, includes, responsive to a client device having a Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card therein connecting to a mobile network from a mobile network operator, receiving authentication of the client device based on the SIM card; receiving forwarded traffic from the client device; and processing the forwarded traffic according to policy, wherein the policy is determined based on one of a user of the client device and a type of the client device, each being determined based on the SIM card.
