Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, obtaining a first indication of a first decision to communicate with a first mobile communication device via a second node of a wireless communication system, the first mobile communication device being in communication with a first node of the wireless communication system at a time of a making of the first decision, the first node being configured for first communications with a transport layer of the wireless communication system via a first link and the second node being configured for second communications with the transport layer of the wireless communication system via a second link; responsive to the obtaining the first indication, changing in a route information listing a first latency value for the first link, the first latency value being changed from a first original value to a higher value that is greater than the first original value, the route information listing containing information associated with a plurality of mobile communication devices, including the first mobile communication device, that are communicating with the transport layer; and responsive to the obtaining the first indication, changing in the route information listing a second latency value for the second link, the second latency value being changed from the higher value to a lower value that is less than the higher value. Other embodiments are disclosed.

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.

Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, performing resource coordination to support integrated access and backhaul (IAB) link migration events in 5G new radio (NR) networks. Migration events may be a result of any factor including handovers, secondary cell changes, or radio link failures. Coordination may be achieved by an IAB node configuring or reconfiguring a distributed unit (DU) to be compatible with a backhaul link of a second IAB node. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Disclosed are systems and methods for a self-contained multi-modal communication system. The multi-modal communication system comprises a first mobile telecommunication node, which provides a private telecommunication network, a layer 2 (L2) backhaul wireless transceiver, an ethernet switch and an embedded edge cloud compute device. The edge cloud compute device includes an automatic failover detection system, wherein the automatic failover detection system receives as input a plurality of network parameters and automatically performs failover and communication modality switching for one or more communication devices associated with the self-contained multi-modal communication system.

The present disclosure relates to a communication method and system for converging a 5th-Generation (5G) communication system for supporting higher data rates beyond a 4th-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. Embodiments herein provide a method for performing a routing ID (RID) update in user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication network.

Methods for operating a UE, a network node, a Session Management Function (SMF) and a Unified Data Management (UDM) are disclosed. The methods include transmitting, by a UE, a Protocol Data Unit (PDU) Session Establishment Request message toward an SMF in the communication network (902A), and receiving at the UE a policy decision on security protection of User Plane (UP) data terminating in a RAN for the PDU Session (904A). The policy decision received at the UE may be in accordance with a UP security policy provided by the SMF to the RAN during PDU Session Establishment. Also disclosed are a UE, network node, SMF and UDM.

The present disclosure discloses a method and apparatus for processing information. The method for processing information comprises: retrieving, by a first base station, user context information of a User Equipment (UE) from a second base station by initiating a procedure to the second base station for retrieving the user context information, wherein the user context information doesn't include user history information; updating, by the first base station, bearer path information and resuming the user context information by initiating a path switch request message to a device in a core network; and performing, by the first base station, one or more of the following operations after the UE resumes to a connected state: re-starting to collect user history information, and re-retrieving user history information from the UE through an air interface.

One aspect provides a method performed by a radio access network node in a telecommunications network. The method comprises: responsive to detection of a trigger event associated with a wireless device having a connection to the telecommunications network via the radio access network node or seeking to establish or resume a connection to the telecommunications network via the radio access network node, selecting a core network user plane function for the connection to the telecommunications network; and initiating establishment of a user-plane tunnel for the connection between the radio access network node and the selected core network user plane function.
