An electronic apparatus is provided. The electronic apparatus includes: a communication interface comprising circuitry and a processor connected with the communication interface and configured to control the electronic apparatus, wherein the processor is configured to, based on identification information of an access point and access information including an access allowance time to the access point being received from another electronic apparatus through the communication interface, connect communication to the access point based on the identification information of the access point, and based on the access allowance time passing, release access to the access point.

A method for configuring parameters for DRX. The method includes: acquiring DRX configuration parameters for DRX, the DRX configuration parameters for DRX comprising a first DRX configuration parameter used by an uplink service and a second DRX configuration parameter used by a downlink service.

A method for data exchange between a user equipment and a network node over a bearer service in a communication system. A virtual access network identifier identifies a connectionless bearer service on which a network service is mapped. A logical channel identifier identifies a connection oriented bearer service on which the network service is mapped. The data is exchanged between the user equipment and the network node over the connection oriented bearer service or over the connectionless bearer service depending on the amount of exchanged data and/or the data bit rate and/or the expiration of a timer.

Base stations, user equipment devices (UEs), and methods for a base station to supply service type-specific information to the UE. The base station may broadcast a first system information block (SIB) comprising scheduling information for a plurality of second SIBs, wherein each of the plurality of second SIBs corresponds to a respective service type of a plurality of service types, and wherein the second SIBs describe service type-specific capabilities of the base station. The plurality of service types may comprise two or more of enhanced mobile broadband, ultra-reliable low latency communications, and massive machine-type communications. The base station may broadcast the plurality of second SIBs according to the scheduling information of the first SIB, and may establish a connection and communicate with the UE using one or more service types and according to the service type-specific capabilities described by second SIBs corresponding to the one or more service types.

Restoration procedures in a Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service (MBMS) network (also referred to as evolved MBMS (eMBMS) network) in case of a path failure.

This application relates to the field of communications technologies, and discloses a communication method and a communication apparatus, to reduce service delay due to uplink data cannot be directly sent by a terminal when the terminal is in an inactive state. The method in this application includes: receiving a first message from a first access network device; then releasing or suspending a configured dedicated signaling radio bearer SRB and resetting protocol entities corresponding to a configured data radio bearer DRB. The first message is used to indicate to a terminal to enter a radio resource control (RRC) inactive state, and the first message carries an identifier of the terminal in the radio resource control (RRC) inactive state and radio access network notification area (RNA) information.

A pause command is sent to a Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card of a cellular device in response to detecting a cyberattack against the cellular device on the cellular network. To mitigate the cyberattack, the SIM card temporarily disconnects the cellular device from the cellular network for a pause time. The SIM card prohibits the cellular device from connecting to the cellular network during the pause time and automatically allows the cellular device to reconnect to the cellular network after the pause time.

An architecture to eliminate situations in which aerial user equipment become unreachable by core mobile network operator equipment as a consequence of radio link failure events. A method comprises determining, based on type data, that a user equipment is an aerial user equipment, initiating a discontinuous reception timer device using defined time values, transmitting downlink data addressed to the aerial user equipment, determining, based on an expiration of the defined time values as measured by the discontinuous reception timer device and acknowledgement data associated with the transmitting of the downlink data, that the aerial user equipment is unreachable, and based on the aerial user equipment being unreachable, sending request data to base station equipment, wherein the request data facilitates the base station equipment to terminate a communication channel that links the base station equipment to the aerial user equipment.
