Disclosed is a method, performed by an access and mobility management function, of providing a user equipment (UE) with update information regarding at least one UE parameter. The method includes receiving, from the UE, a registration request message, transmitting, to a unified data management (UDM), a UE context management registration message based on the registration request message, receiving, from the UDM, update information regarding the UE parameter, in response to the UE context management registration message, wherein the update information regarding the UE parameter includes information regarding preferred SNPN and information regarding a list of group identifiers for network selection (GINs), and transmitting, to the UE, the update information regarding the UE parameter including the information regarding preferred SNPN and the information regarding the list of GINs.

The disclosure relates to a fifth generation (5G) or sixth generation (6G) communication system. A method performed by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system is provided. The method includes selecting a stand-alone non-public network (SNPN) based on at least one of whether the SNPN supports a public warning system (PWS) or whether the SNPN supports an emergency call, transmitting, to a base station within the selected SNPN, a registration request message including information associated with supporting the PWS, and receiving, from the base station, a registration accept message.

A method for fetching a content from a web server to a client device is disclosed, using tunnel devices serving as intermediate devices. The tunnel device is selected based on an attribute, such as IP Geolocation. A tunnel bank server stores a list of available tunnels that may be used, associated with values of various attribute types. The tunnel devices initiate communication with the tunnel bank server, and stays connected to it, for allowing a communication session initiated by the tunnel bank server. Upon receiving a request from a client to a content and for specific attribute types and values, a tunnel is selected by the tunnel bank server, and is used as a tunnel for retrieving the required content from the web server, using standard protocol such as SOCKS, WebSocket or HTTP Proxy. The client only communicates with a super proxy server that manages the content fetching scheme.

A demand response system includes a mobile application of a mobile device that is configured to initiate altering an operating condition of a network device disposed at a site using location based services. A demand response application interface module is configured to enable access between a utility company and the network device to communicate energy management information therebetween. The network device is configured to be remotely altered by each of the demand response application interface module and the mobile application separately based on the location based services and the energy management information. A method of managing a demand response system includes detecting a user being disposed away from a site, detecting energy management information from a utility company associated with the site, and initiating a reduction in energy use at the site in response to the relative location of the user and the energy management information.

A vehicular communication device is provided. The vehicular communication device includes a reception section that receives, from a periphery vehicle equipped with a narrow area communicator for performing vehicle interior communication, a communication performance index representing performance of the narrow area communicator, and a controller. The controller includes: a reference value setup section that successively sets a reference value of the communication performance index based on the communication performance indexes received from multiple the periphery vehicles; an acquisition section that acquires the communication performance index for a targeted narrow area communicator; and an anomaly determination section that determines anomaly of the targeted narrow area communicator, based on comparison between the reference value set by the reference value setup section and the communication performance index acquired by the acquisition section for the targeted narrow area communicator.

A satellite reception assembly that provides satellite television and/or radio service to a customer premises may comprise a wireless interface via which it can communicate with other satellite reception assemblies. Wireless connections between satellite reception assemblies may be utilized for providing satellite content between different satellite customer premises. Wireless connections between satellite reception assemblies may be utilized for offloading traffic from other network connections.

A first network node of a first frequency layer, acquires (201) information on services that are offered by a second network node at a second, different frequency layer. The second network node is within the coverage area of the first network node. The first network node broadcasts (202) a service advertisement message to at least one terminal device (UE) for advertising the services offered by the second network node at the second frequency layer.
