A system and method provide for receiving an indication that a user device has been inactive; accessing a configuration table; identifying, based on the configuration table, a number of user devices that can be in an RRC inactive state; determining a current number of user devices that are in the RRC inactive state; transitioning the user device to the RRC inactive state when the current number of user devices is less than the threshold number of user devices; determining a priority associated with the user device when the current number equals the threshold number; and transitioning the user device to the RRC inactive state or an RRC idle state based on the priority of the user device.

Disclosed is a bandwidth part (BWP) switching method, a terminal, and a storage medium. The method includes: receiving target downlink control information (DCI) from a network device; wherein the target DCI comprises a first BWP, and the target DCI is configured to trigger the terminal to perform a BWP switching; de-enabling a timer-based BWP switching function according to the target DCI; wherein the timer-based BWP switching function indicates triggering the terminal to perform the BWP switching in response to no data transmission existing between the terminal and the network device within a timer duration of a timer; and switching a current BWP to the first BWP.

A DRX control method and apparatus may flexibly control active times of different DRXs when a plurality of DRXs is configured for a terminal device. For example, a network device may send indication information to the terminal device in a first serving cell of the terminal device, to configure the terminal device to start, prolong, or end DRX active time of a second serving cell of the terminal device. The first serving cell is configured with a first DRX, and the second serving cell is configured with a second DRX. The network device sends indication information based on the first DRX.

In some implementations, a first network device may receive an authorization request associated with a user device connecting to a network associated with first network device. The first network device may redirect the authorization request toward a second network device associated with a second service provider. The first network device may determine, based on a response to the authorization request, that the user device is subscribed to a service provided by the second service provider and that the user device is not authorized to connect to the network. The first network device may provide a temporary service to the user device to enable the user device to connect to the network for a limited period based on the user device being subscribed to the service provided by the second service provider and the user device not being authorized to connect to the network.

Methods and systems for pairing devices are disclosed. A user device may be used to navigate to a resource locator using. In response to a determination that an identifier associated with the user device matches at least one identifier associated with one or more devices accessing a first network, a paired communication may be established between the user device and a display device to facilitate control of one or more features of display device.

Apparatuses, systems, and methods for refreshing a GUTI of a UE. The UE may receive a GUTI from an AMF as part of a registration process. After a timer has expired, the UE may receive a new GUTI from the AMF. The timer may be provided by the UE as a request for use by the AMF. Alternatively, the timer may be used by the UE and the UE may request the new GUTI upon expiry of the timer, e.g., using an existing message or a new message, as desired.
