An apparatus, method, and computer-readable recording medium perform optimized data collection in a wireless network. The wireless network communicatively interconnects a gateway device having a network controller, one or more wireless extenders, and one or more client devices. The gateway device receives polling responses from the one or more wireless extenders and periodically monitors station metrics data for the one or more client devices based on the polling responses. The gateway device determines which of the one or more client devices is an immobile device based on the station metrics data, and transmits an instruction to at least one wireless extender for modifying collection or reporting of the station metrics data for any client device determined to be an immobile device.

Aspects of the present disclosure relate to wireless communications, and more particularly, to techniques for a UE to determine whether to maintain or remove a radio frequency (RF) path from a set of candidate paths considered for transmit antenna switch diversity (ASDIV). The determination allows the UE to avoid signal loss or degradation in coexisting networks at similar frequency ranges. For example, ASDIV allows two or more antennas to form different input and output ports to establish different RF paths. Coexistent networks, such as wireless wide-area-network (WWAN) and wireless local-area-network (WLAN) may utilize different RF paths to optimize reliability and efficiency. The overlapping of the bands may cause signal attenuation or degradation from at least one of the networks. The present disclosure provides techniques for detecting signal attenuation at least partially caused by overlapping bands and removing an associated RF path to avoid such signal loss or attenuation.

Importing of a UE address into a VRF of perimeter equipment is facilitate by receiving a VPN update from the perimeter equipment including a route target of the perimeter equipment and a gNodeB address. In addition, session information is obtained by intercepting traffic between the UE address and a UPF. The session information including the UE address and address of a gNodeB to which the UE is connected. By matching the gNodeB addresses from the VPN update and the session information, the route target of the perimeter equipment to which the UE is connected may be determined. The UE address may then be imported exclusively into the VRF of the perimeter equipment.

A network selection method, a network connection method, a terminal device, and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium are disclosed. The method may include: acquiring characteristic state information of the application (S1100); generating a network slice selection instruction according to the characteristic state information (S1200); and sending the network slice selection instruction to cause a terminal device to establish a corresponding network connection according to the network slice selection instruction (S1300).

A method where a first network node receives from a second network node a packet with a path identifier value in the header. A plurality of bearers associated with the path are determined based on the path identifier value and used to assign at least one resource to the packet before it is transmitted to a third network node based on the at least one resource.

According to one embodiment, a wireless relay device in a multi-hop network including at least a gateway device, the wireless relay device comprises a determination unit configured to determine whether a wireless device connected to the wireless relay device supports a routing protocol of the multi-hop network, and a notification unit configure to notify the gateway device or another wireless relay device in the multi-hop network of information for identifying the wireless device when the determination unit determines that the wireless device does not support the routing protocol.

A terminal device for use with a wireless telecommunications network, the terminal device including a transceiver; and a controller configured to control the transceiver to exchange data with the wireless telecommunications network using one of a first communications service and a second communications service, the first communications service being associated with a first quality of service for exchanging data and the second communications service being associated with a second quality of service for exchanging data. The controller is configured to control the transceiver to establish one of a first set of radio connection states with the wireless telecommunications network and one of a second set of radio connection states with the wireless telecommunications network, and control the transceiver to establish the radio connection state of the first communications service independently of the radio connection state of the second communications service.

A control method to be performed by a first mobile node disconnected from a mobile line among a plurality of mobile nodes each being connectable to the mobile line includes: transmitting and receiving a mobile line connection status to and from each of one or more second mobile nodes via near-field wireless communication; building a MANET with the one or more second mobile nodes based on a first mobile line connection status of the first mobile node and a second mobile line connection status of each of the one or more second mobile nodes; generating, after the building of the MANET, first transaction data including at least first MANET routing information that indicates the MANET connection status of the first mobile node; and recording a block including the first transaction data into a first distributed ledger that is used for a blockchain in the MANET.

System and techniques for base station assisted Information Centric Network (ICN) are described herein. A mobile network base station receives an ICN packet from a user equipment (UE). The mobile network base station identifies an aggregate packet data unit (PDU) session with a user plane function (UPF) ICN gateway (ICN-GW) hosted in a mobile network core network (CN) for the ICN packet. Then, the mobile network base station transmits the ICN packet via the aggregate PDU session.

A system includes one or more devices. The devices are configured to: receive a message indicating that a network slice has been deployed in a network, wherein the message includes information related to the network slice; send the information to an application that provides services to User Equipment (UE) devices subscribed to the network; and initiate updates to UE route selection policies (URSPs) in the network based on the information, allowing communications from UE devices to reach the network slice.
