A computer implemented method includes receiving data from an application layer resulting in received data. The received data is diverted to an input/output layer outside a communication stack and data packets are generated from the received data. Mock packet headers are fabricated with packet formatting and address corresponding to an underlying transport layer. Corresponding mock packet headers are concatenated with the data packets to form transport packets which are encrypted using a fixed key. The transport packets are provided to a network debug tool for decryption using a public key for execution of the network debug tool to inspect the transport packets.

The disclosed technology separates session management function signaling from the AMF. In particular, an SMF key is created for each SMF following the AMF generating an SM context request that contains gNB information and UE subscription information. Each PDU session creates a direct connection between the SMF and a local gNB. The gNB communicates with each SMF directly over a new interface (N3-C) for session management that is independent of the N2 interface used by the gNB to communicate with the AMF for mobility management. In this way, each SMF independently handles NAS signaling with the UE, using the SMF key and gNB related session-management signaling over an independent interface with the gNB. This removes the burden of relaying these communications through the AMF, which is then freed up to solely to handle mobility management signaling, resulting in an improved architecture.

Techniques described herein provide means by which cell information indicative of a location of a UE may be conveyed to a location server over a 5G NR data connection using a SUPL message with an LTE cell ID data field. In some embodiments, for example, the UE may include the Cell ID of a LTE neighbor cell or information regarding a 5G NR serving cell, such as a portion of the 5G NR Cell ID or a reserved value or sequence identifying the 5G NR serving cell. The techniques may be applicable to the Secure User Plane Location (SUPL) solution defined by OMA and may enable a UE and a SUPL Location Platform (SLP) to support location of the UE using a version of SUPL without explicit support of 5G NR wireless access.

A system and method for dynamically switching from a first internet protocol to a second internet protocol for providing service to a user equipment, is disclosed. More particularly, the embodiments may disclose a method for dynamically switching from the first internet protocol to the second internet protocol, comprises steps of: generating a first positive response in an event the service is capable of being provided using the second internet protocol; generating a second positive response in an event the user equipment is capable of receiving the service using the second internet protocol; generating a third positive response in an event a real-time location of the user equipment is within a coverage area; and dynamically switching from the first internet protocol to the second internet protocol based on at least one of the first positive response, the second positive response and the third positive response.

Systems, methods, and devices for sidelink positioning determination and communication can employ techniques including obtaining, at a first sidelink-enabled device, data from one or more data sources indicative of one or more criteria for using either round-trip time (RTT)-based positioning of a target node or single-sided (SS)-based positioning of the target node. The techniques also include selecting, with the first sidelink-enabled device, a positioning type from the group may comprise of RTT-based positioning and SS-based positioning, based on the data. The techniques also include sending a message from the first sidelink-enabled device to a second sidelink-enabled device, where the message includes information indicative of the selected positioning type.

Access points can be mounted in a variety of locations or orientations and can support multiple communications protocols. In some embodiments, an access point includes a main housing and a front housing. The main and front housing are connected by a hinge. A Wi-Fi antenna is included in the front housing in some embodiments. The access point is configured for use in either an open or closed position. When mounted in a vertical position, the front housing can be lowered into a horizontal position, which facilitates a preferred orientation of an antenna with respect to the ground. A first set of cooling fins serves to maintain components of the access point offset from a wall to which the access point is mounted. This facilitates airflow. Additional fins act as a spacer between the main housing and the front housing when the access point is used in a closed position. This facilitates air flow around both sides of the main housing.

The access point includes a main housing, e.g., main body, and a front housing connected together by a hinge. A Wi-Fi antenna is included in the front housing in some embodiments. The access point can be used in an open or closed position. When mounted in a vertical position the front housing can be lowered into a horizontal position facilitating preferred antenna orientation. A first set of cooling fins serves to keep the internal components of the access point off a wall when the access point is wall mounted facilitating air flow.

Disclosed are a method for automatically adjusting an SUPL protocol, and a storage medium and a mobile terminal. The method comprises the steps of: storing different versions of an SUPL protocol in a mobile terminal in advance, and when a change in an accessed auxiliary positioning server is detected, configuring an SUPL protocol, the version of which corresponds to the current auxiliary positioning server, for the mobile terminal. The problem in the prior art of an SUPL protocol configured for a mobile terminal being unable to automatically match different auxiliary positioning servers is solved.
