Systems, methods, and instrumentalities are disclosed for enforcing limited mobility in a mobile network. For example, a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) may receive (e.g., receive from a network) a mapping of physical cell identifications (PCIs) to area identifications (AIDs). The WTRU may determine a first PCI associated with a first neighbor cell. The WTRU may determine, based on the first PCI and the PCIs to AIDs mapping, whether the WTRU is allowed to access the first neighbor cell. The WTRU may perform cell selection or reselection with the first neighbor cell as a cell selection or reselection candidate. The WTRU may perform cell selection or reselection based on the WTRU determining that the WTRU is allowed to access the first neighbor cell. The WTRU may determine that the WTRU is allowed to access the first neighbor cell based on the first PCI and the PCIs to AIDs mapping.

There is described a system and method for implementing access control using a mobile device configured to generate access requests. The method may comprise detecting a status change of the mobile device, upon detecting a status change of the mobile device, triggering logic on the mobile device into a state to monitor for receipt of one or more access control beacons, receiving an access control beacon from an access control device, generating an access request based on the received access control beacon and transmitting the access request over a wireless communication interface of the mobile device.

A method, system and non-transitory computer-readable medium for the unambiguous identification of non-associated Wi-Fi devices, where upon receiving (102), by an access point (200), a probe request (202) from a Wi-Fi device (201) not associated to the access point (200), sending (104) a probe response (204) addressed to the non-associated Wi-Fi device (201), wherein the probe response (204) comprises a Hotspot 2.0 Indication element (206) including a ANQP Domain ID field (207) with a determined value; receiving (106), by the access point (200), an action frame (208) sent by the non-associated Wi-Fi device (201) in response to the Hotspot 2.0 Indication element (206) of the probe response (204); obtaining a static MAC address (209) of the non-associated Wi-Fi device (201) from the source address of the received action frame (208); and identifying (110) the non-associated Wi-Fi device (201) based on the obtained static MAC address (209).

The 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 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. An apparatus, a method and a system for system information acquisition, beam failure recovery, and cell reselection in wireless communication system are provided.

Various embodiments comprise systems, methods, architectures, mechanisms or apparatus configured to provide ad hoc, peer to peer communications among a plurality of wireless devices, wherein at least one wireless device is selected to further communicate with a wireless network to provide thereby backhaul services to other wireless devices, wherein the at least one wireless device providing backhaul services is dynamically selected in accordance with respective wireless network signal strength indicia.

A method for UE capability signaling to support NR-U is proposed. A UE transfers UE capability information to a mobile communication network, and the UE capability information includes information regarding whether the UE supports system information acquisition on an unlicensed cell. The UE receives configuration from a serving cell of the mobile communication network, and the configuration includes information for system information acquisition of one or more unlicensed cells on a frequency. The UE acquires system information of the one or more unlicensed cells on the frequency and reports the acquired system information to the serving cell, or stores the acquired system information in the UE.

Techniques disclosed herein relate to reducing RRC signalling messages. Techniques can be employed to reduce the number of Random Access Channel (RACH) attempts to obtain NotBroadcasted (e.g., On Demand System Information(s) (SIs)) by a UE in response to a paging message indicating SI modification. The UE may monitor the Physical Broadcast Channel (PBCH) for a given duration in attempt to decode the On Demand SI(s) without initiating a RACH procedure. If the UE fails to decode the On Demand SI(s) within the given duration, the UE may initiate a RACH procedure to obtain the On Demand SI(s).
