A computer readable storage medium comprising a set of instructions to operate a processor, a user equipment (UE) and an integrated circuit configured to perform operations. The operations include receiving a signal broadcast by a cell of new radio (NR) network, determining whether the cell is configured for a standalone (SA) operation for NR based on the received signal, when the cell is configured for the SA operation for NR, storing a first indication locally at the UE that the cell is configured for the SA operation for NR, when the cell is not configured for the SA operation for NR, storing a second indication locally at the UE that the cell is configured for a non-standalone (NSA) operation for NR and initiating a public land mobile network (PLMN) search procedure, wherein the PLMN search procedure includes a frequency scan based on the first indication or the second indication.

A provider equipment identification (ID) device includes a provider equipment with a plurality of output ports and an ID beacon device. The provider equipment is configured to perform a signal processing operation on an input signal and deliver an output signal to one or more of the output ports. The ID beacon device is coupled to the provider equipment. The ID beacon device is configured to output at least one pilot beacon signal which is receivable by each of the output ports to electrically excite each of the output ports such that the at least one pilot beacon signal is introduced in the output signal to generate an altered output signal capable of identifying the provider equipment.

An electronic device is described. This electronic device may include a radio that supports multiple coexisting networks having different handshaking and a common PAN communication protocol. During operation, a single radio in the electronic device may provide different beacons for the coexisting networks. Then, the radio may receive a response associated with another electronic device, where the response may specify a first coexisting network in the coexisting networks. Next, the radio may establish a connection with the other electronic device, where establishing the connection involves performing handshaking associated with the first coexisting network. Note that the common PAN communication protocol may include: Bluetooth, BLE, Zigbee, or Z-Wave.

A base station for transmitting system related information in a mobile telecommunications network. The base station is configured to transmit system information for the cell provided by the base station and to broadcast a version synchronisation signal, wherein the version synchronisation signal provides version information regarding the current version of the system information for the cell.

This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatuses for advertising discovery information of an AP in one or more downlink (DL) transmissions. In some implementations, the AP may allocate a dedicated resource unit (RU) for advertising discovery information of the AP to stations not associated with the AP, and may allocate one or more additional RUs for DL transmissions to one or more stations associated with the AP. The AP may transmit a multi-user (MU) packet containing discovery information intended for the unassociated stations and containing non-discovery-related information intended for the one or more associated stations. The discovery information may be transmitted on the dedicated RU, and the non-discovery-related information may be transmitted on the one or more additional RUs.

A user information generation method and apparatus is proposed. The method may include collecting, from at least one smart device counting apparatus, smart device count information generated using a signal transmitted by at least one smart device within a predetermined range. The method may also include generating user count information as a result of calculating a number of users within the range by applying an average number of smart devices possessed by each person to the smart device count information. The method may further include generating location estimation information about the smart device, based on the smart device count information, and generating movement trend detection information about users based on the location estimation information about the smart device, the user count information, and map information.
