A method includes executing a first target operation in a case that a conditional reconfiguration parameter and/or an SCG deactivation command is received at a first reception occasion, where the first reception occasion includes at least one of the following occasions: a time at which an SCG is deactivated and a time at which a conditional reconfiguration related procedure is being executed. The first target operation includes at least one of the following: skipping initiating or stopping a conditional reconfiguration evaluation procedure; initiating or continuing a conditional reconfiguration evaluation procedure; skipping initiating or stopping a conditional reconfiguration execution procedure in a case that the first condition is satisfied; postponing initiating the conditional reconfiguration evaluation procedure; postponing initiating the conditional reconfiguration execution procedure in a case that the first condition is satisfied; ignoring or deleting the conditional reconfiguration parameter; activating or deactivating the SCG; and ignoring the SCG deactivation command.

This application discloses a connection establishment method, apparatus, device, and storage medium. The method includes: receiving, by user equipment UE camp on or connected to a single frequency network SFN cell group, access-related information sent by a network-side device; and establishing a connection with a target cell based on the access-related information, where the target cell is a cell/TRP layer specific cell or transmission reception point.

A network device may receive an indication of movement of a user device, associated with multiple packet data unit (PDU) sessions, from a first radio access network (RAN) to a second RAN, and may maintain, based on the indication, a particular PDU session, of the multiple PDU sessions, associated with a default flow. The network device may release, based on the indication, the multiple PDU sessions other than the particular PDU session, and may handle the multiple PDU sessions, other than the particular PDU session, in accordance with a handling option.

Methods and techniques are described for supporting location services for a user equipment (UE) using a location server and service based interfaces (SBIs) and SBI service operations in a Fifth Generation wireless network. The location server may be, e.g., a Location Management Function (LMF). The LMF may be in either a serving Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) for a UE or in a Home PLMN for a roaming UE. The LMF may receive a location service request for the UE using an SBI and may communicate with another entity in the network, through a second entity and using an SBI, to obtain location information for the UE measured by the other entity. The LMF may determine a location for the UE based on the location information.

The present disclosure relates to a communication method and system for converging a 5.sup.th-Generation (5G) communication system for supporting higher data rates beyond a 4.sup.th-Generation (4G) system with a technology for Internet of Things (IoT). The present disclosure may be applied to intelligent services based on the 5G communication technology and the IoT-related technology, such as smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car, connected car, health care, digital education, smart retail, security and safety services. The present disclosure relates to a method of supporting a network slice of a network and a user equipment (UE) when the UE moves between a 4G network and a 5G network in the 3GPP 5G network technology.

In a wireless communication system, a Session Management Function (SMF) transfers signaling to a User Plane Function (UPF) to deliver a wireless data service to a wireless User Equipment (UE). The UPF exchanges user data with the wireless UE over a source Radio Unit (RU) to deliver the wireless data service. A Radio Resource Control (RRC) detects the RU handover of the wireless UE from the source RU to a target RU and transfers an RU handover notice for the wireless UE the SMF. The SMF transfers new signaling to the UPF to modify the wireless data service for the wireless UE. The UPF exchanges additional user data with the wireless UE over the target RU to deliver the modified wireless data service to the wireless UE.

A first base station receives from a second base station, a handover request message comprising traffic pattern parameters of a wireless device. The traffic pattern parameters comprise a first traffic periodicity, a first timing offset, and a first message size. A handover request acknowledge message indicating at least one periodic resource configuration parameter determined based on the first traffic periodicity is sent to the second base station. A random access preamble associated with a handover of the wireless device is received from the wireless device. The first base station determines a resource block assignment based on the first message size. A control command is transmitted to the wireless device. The control command indicates: activation of radio resources associated with the at least one periodic resource configuration parameter; and the resource block assignment.

Apparatuses, systems, and methods for a user equipment device (UE) to perform methods for network assisted side-link resource configuration for unicast and/or multi-cast/groupcast communications in V2X networks. A UE may, after establishing an RRC connection with a base station, transmit, to the base station, V2X connection information. The V2X connection information may include a V2X identifier associated with the UE and a V2X identifier associated with a target UE. The UE may receive, from the base station, a side-link configuration for data transmission with the target UE. The side-link configuration may include a resource allocation defined in time and frequency (e.g., a transmit/receive pool). The UE may communicate with the target UE using the resource allocation included in the side-link configuration.

A method for advertising a route, applied to a layer 3 network in an open systems interconnection OSI model. The network includes a control plane network element and a user plane network element that are connected to each other, and the method includes: receiving, by the user plane network element, a packet whose source IP address is a first IP address; determining, by the user plane network element, that the first IP address is not authenticated; sending, by the user plane network element, an authentication request that includes the first IP address to the control plane network element; receiving, by the user plane network element, a first session from the control plane network element; and advertising, by the user plane network element, first routing information based on the first session, where a destination address of the first routing information is the first IP address.

A session change over system monitors nodes to determine whether they are operational, and transfers user equipment from one node to another when nodes are not operational. The session change over system receives one or more health check messages from one or more foreign nodes which communicate with user equipment. The session change over system inspects each health check message to determine whether a foreign node is not operational. The session change over system identifies user equipment in communication with the foreign node at a time before the foreign node was not operational. The session change over system communicates with the identified user equipment in place of the foreign node.
