This application provides a proximity service communication method, a communication apparatus, and a communication system. When a terminal device requests a communication resource corresponding to a first sidelink, a management network element may determine, based on location information of the terminal device, whether the terminal device is located in a geographic area in which the terminal device can use a first application through a sidelink, to determine whether to provide a proximity service parameter for the terminal device. This limits, at an application granularity, sidelink communication used by the terminal device.

In a connected vehicle environment, network connection parameters such as a network congestion window and bit rate are automatically adjusted dependent on a location of a vehicle in order to optimize network performance. A geospatial database stores learned relationships between network performance of a connected vehicle at different physical locations when configured in accordance with different network parameters. The vehicle can then adjust its network parameters dynamically dependent on its location. A vehicle may maintain multiple connections to different networks concurrently for transmitting duplicate data of a data stream, with the vehicle independently adjusting parameters associated with different networks to optimize performance.

A remote UE or a relay UE may identify a configuration for a relocation of one or more session termination points associated with one or more radio access packet data sessions from the relay UE to the remote UE or from the remote UE to the relay UE. The remote UE or the relay UE may execute the relocation of the one or more session termination points associated with the one or more radio access packet data sessions from the relay UE to the remote UE or from the remote UE to the relay UE based on the configuration. The session termination point relocation may be controlled by the remote UE, the relay UE, or a network entity. The remote UE may transmit or receive data with a network via the relay UE based on the relocation of the one or more session termination points.

A system may provide for the design and/or modification of network slices associated with a wireless network. The wireless network may include different slices that are associated different sets of service parameters. Slices may include radio access networks (“RANs”), core networks, or other types of networks, which may include respective sets of network functions (“NFs”), which may perform specific functions with respect to a given RAN and/or core network. Different slices, RANs, core networks, and/or NFs may be associated with particular policies and/or tags which may be specified by one or more users associated with a first access level. One or more users associated with a second access level may configure portions of the wireless network, and the policies and/or tags associated with particular slices, RANs, core networks, or NFs may be automatically implemented by an orchestration system that configures the wireless network based on the provided configuration information.

Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, obtaining data relating to a user equipment communicatively coupled to a first network node, the data including information regarding a data buffer associated with the user equipment, obtaining node information relating to a second network node, the node information identifying available network resources of the second network node and a coverage range of the second network node, determining, based on the information regarding the data buffer, that a status of the data buffer satisfies a condition, determining that the first network node has insufficient network resources to satisfy a network resource demand of the user equipment based on the determining that the status of the data buffer satisfies the condition, and selectively activating the second network node, based on the available network resources of the second network node and the coverage range of the second network node. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Systems, methods, and software of managing bandwidth allocated to User Equipment (UE). In one embodiment, a bandwidth management system collects cell load information for a plurality of cells within a Radio Access Network (RAN), and processes the cell load information to determine a cell load status for each of the cells. The system performs bandwidth throttling for the UE by determining a location of the UE, identifying the cell load status for one or more cells in a region of the RAN corresponding with the location of the UE, determining whether the region of the RAN is overloaded based on the cell load status, and controlling a downgrade of bandwidth allocated to the UE in the RAN responsive to a determination that the region is overloaded.

A communication apparatus detects a signal transmitted from a first base station in another wireless communication system that is different from a wireless communication system to which the communication apparatus belongs, and transmits first information and second information to a management apparatus that manages communication in the other wireless communication system, the first information being related to the first base station, the second information indicating a radio channel to be used in a case where communication involving user data is performed with a second base station belonging to the wireless communication system when the communication apparatus has detected the signal

An apparatus comprising at least one processing circuitry, and at least one memory for storing instructions to be executed by the processing circuitry, wherein the at least one memory and the instructions are configured to, with the at least one processing circuitry, cause the apparatus at least: to determine whether a bearer to be set up and used for a communication connection of a communication element is a bearer eligible for selected traffic offloading to a local gateway of a cell group when the local gateway is available, and in case the determination is affirmative, to provide an indication in a signaling to a communication network control element of the communication element, the indication indicates that the bearer to be set up is a bearer eligible for selected traffic off-loading as soon as a local gateway is available.

Facilitating device contexts, operational modes, and policy driven enhancements for paging in advanced networks (e.g., 4G, 5G, 6G, and beyond) is provided herein. Operations of a network device can comprise analyzing a group of contextual data for a user equipment device, and mobility management behaviors historically implemented for the user equipment device and based on an indication that a page request is scheduled to be sent to the user equipment device. The operations can also comprise configuring a paging message for the user equipment device based on the contextual data and the mobility management behaviors. Further, the operations can comprise sending the paging message to the user equipment device.

A method for a handover between distributed access points is disclosed, including receiving, by a central AP, an Ethernet frame; adding, by the central AP, a sequence number to the frame according to an address of a wireless terminal; sending, by the central AP to an AP 1, the frame to which the sequence number is added, and storing the frame to which the sequence number is added in a historical frame set of the wireless terminal; and sending, by the central AP, a frame in the historical frame set of the wireless terminal to an AP 2 when the wireless terminal is handed over from the AP 1 to the AP 2. If the wireless terminal moves fast, the central AP can send the frame in the historical frame set to the wireless terminal using the AP 2, so that a downlink packet loss is reduced.
