A method (100) for managing resource usage across domains in a communication network is disclosed. The communication network comprises a radio access domain, a core domain and a transport domain providing connectivity between the radio access domain and the core domain. The method comprises receiving from the core domain an indication of load status of gateway nodes in the core domain (110), receiving from the transport domain an indication of load status of transport resources in the transport domain (120), normalising across the core and transport domain a cost of using resources in each domain (130), calculating, on the basis of the normalised costs, optimal chains of resources in the core and transport domains for providing a service from different radio access nodes to different possible Access Point Names (APNs) (140), and sending to the core and transport domains information about the calculated optimal resource chains (150). Also disclosed are methods for managing resource usage in a core domain, a transport domain and a radio access domain of a communication network, together with cross domain, core domain, transport domain and radio access domain control elements.

A method to prioritize sidelink logical channel (SL LCH) during destination UE selection for sidelink Logical Channel Prioritization (LCP) procedure in NR sidelink communication is proposed to avoid resource starvation. A TX UE prioritizes an RX UE having at least one SL LCH that has not satisfied a required minimum bit rate during destination UE selection when allocating SL resource to a new MAC PDU for SL transmission. The TX UE maintains a value Bj for each SL LCH j, where Bj>0 indicates that the logical channel has not met the requirement of prioritized bit rate. If at least one destination UE has SL LCH with data available for transmission and with Bj>0, then the selected destination UE is the one has the highest-priority SL LCH with data available for transmission and with Bj>0.

A managed Wi-Fi service network device can receive, from a cellular network device, an allowable throughput rate at which a user equipment is authorized to communicate via a managed Wi-Fi service network. Based on the allowable throughput rate, the managed Wi-Fi service network device can monitor a communication rate of the user equipment via the managed Wi-Fi service network. In response to the user equipment communicating via the managed Wi-Fi service network at a rate that exceeds the allowable throughput rate, the managed Wi-Fi service network device can facilitate reducing the communication rate of the user equipment. Also, a user equipment can receive from a cellular network device an allowable throughput rate at which the user equipment is authorized to communicate via the managed Wi-Fi service network. The UE can communicate via the managed Wi-Fi service network at a communication rate that does not exceed the allowable throughput rate.

A method performed by a network node for a wireless telecommunications network performs operations including providing a resource allocation model that corresponds to a base station and that provides a recommendation regarding resource allocation for a user equipment, UE, that is in an operating zone of the base station during a limited resource condition of the base station. Operations may include identifying, based on the resource allocation model, a reduced priority zone in the operating zone of the base station that corresponds to the UE having a high risk of reduced service from the base station relative to other UEs in the operating range of the base station.

A user equipment and a method related to reporting management are provided. In the method, event-triggered information is received for a quality of experience (QoE) measurement configuration. A pause indication is received. To send or pause one or more QoE reports is determined based on the event-triggered information. The QoE report is associated with the QoE measurement configuration.

This application provides network device capacity expansion methods and devices. One method includes: obtaining network performance data of a target network device, determining a state of the target network device based on the network performance data of the target network device, and determining, based on the state of the target network device, whether to perform capacity expansion for the target network device. In the foregoing technical solution, whether a capacity expansion operation needs to be performed on a network device can be determined in a timely manner based on a state of the network device.

A radio access network node includes a receiver configured to receive, from a core network node, an information indicating overload from data transfer via Control Plane CIoT (Celluar Internet of Things) EPS (Evolved Packet System) Optimization.

Aspects of the present disclosure include methods, apparatuses, and computer readable media for determining a connected mode discontinuous reception (C-DRX) short cycle value, transmitting a C-DRX short cycle request to a base station, the C-DRX short cycle request including the C-DRX short cycle value, receiving a first confirmation indicating the base station accepting the C-DRX short cycle value associated with the C-DRX short cycle request, determining an averaging window value based on the C-DRX short cycle value, transmitting an averaging window request to the base station, the averaging window request including the averaging window value, receiving a second confirmation indicating the base station accepting the averaging window value associated with the averaging window request, and communicating with the base station based on the C-DRX short cycle value and the averaging window value.

In example implementations, methods for selecting a network connection for paired endpoint devices and an apparatus for performing the same is provided. The method includes establishing a connection to a mobile endpoint device. A first quality score associated with a wireless connection of the mobile endpoint device is calculated based on a parameter associated with the wireless connection between the mobile endpoint device and a wireless network. A network selection is made based on a comparison of the first quality score and a second quality score. The second quality score is associated with a connection between the computer and a communication network.
