Disclosed are a method and an apparatus for reducing current consumption between proximity electronic devices in a NAN based low-power near field communication network. An electronic device may include a processor configured to: broadcast a first signal notifying that the electronic device can operate as a first proxy server, receive a first proxy client registration request from a first external electronic device, transmit a first proxy client registration response, receive a fourth signal notifying that a second external electronic device can operate as a second proxy server, transmit a second proxy client registration request to the second external electronic device, receive a second proxy client registration response from the second external electronic device, and operate the electronic device as a first proxy client of the second external electronic device in parallel with operating the electronic device as the first proxy server of the first external electronic device.

Systems and methods are provided for facilitating a discreet connection between a user and a service. A system includes a service for a user to connect to without any detectable direct contact with the service. A first reverse proxy connection is configured to receive a connection from the user to set up the discreet connection, where an invitation indicating a mechanism for accessing the first reverse proxy connection is provided to the user. Access credentials are transmitted to the user over the first reverse proxy connection, the access credentials including an address for accessing a second reverse proxy connection, the first reverse proxy connection being deleted following delivery of the access credentials. The second reverse proxy connection facilitates the discreet connection between the user and the service without any detectable direct contact with the service.

The present disclosure relates to a communication method and system for converging a 5.sup.th-Generation (5G) communication system for supporting higher data rates beyond a 4.sup.th-Generation (4G) system with a technology for Internet of Things (IoT). The present 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. According to various embodiments, a method for operating a server may comprise the steps of: while at least one service is connected to a terminal, receiving, from another device, a request for providing a first service to the terminal; determining, in response to the request, whether it is possible to provide the first service to the terminal; when the first service cannot be provided, determining whether to terminate one of the at least one service; and, if the one of the at least one service is terminated, transmitting a setup message for the first service to the terminal in response to the termination.

Presented herein are techniques that aggregate messages using a subroot node. A plurality of messages is received from a corresponding plurality of nodes by a subroot node acting as a proxy in a wireless mesh sub-network. The plurality of messages is aggregated into a single message according to a template. The single message is wireless transmitted to a root node, wherein the root node has a wired connection to a network.

An online platform generates a playlist of clips of a lecture accessed by a plurality of users of the online platform. The online platform receives a recording of the lecture, and receives a plurality of events captured during a time period corresponding to the lecture. Each captured event is associated with a time stamp corresponding to a time at which a user performed an activity while listening to the lecture. The online platform clusters the captured events based on the time stamps, and generates one or more clips of the recording of the lecture from the clustered events. The online platform generates a playlist including the clips of the lecture.

A communications system includes a non-MUSIM enhanced PLMN and a MUSIM enhanced PLMN. The MUSIM enhanced PLMN includes a novel Multi-Path (MP) Proxy node. The MP Proxy Node is controlled to switch between two alternative DL data flow paths to facilitate graceful path changeovers. Downlink (DL) data flow toward the non MUSIM enhanced network (e.g., PLMN-A) is based on the interaction between the MUSIM UE and the MUSIM enhanced network (e.g., PLMN-B) together with the novel MultiPath (MP) Proxy node.

A method for reallocating a data processing peripheral server in an MEC architecture includes: a prior step of allocating a current peripheral server to process data for a mobile device, by a management unit, selecting a new peripheral server by the management unit, and notifying peripheral server reallocation to the current peripheral server by the management unit. The selecting is preceded by receiving, by the management unit, of a message dispatched by the mobile device and including a data item representative of a quality of service measured at the level of the mobile device.

Embodiments described herein provide for the leveraging of edge-based resources (e.g., processing, memory, storage, and/or other resources of one or more Multi-Access/Mobile Edge Computing devices (“MECs”), such as MECs associated with a radio access network (“RAN”) of a wireless network) to process data from and/or provide instructions to microcontroller devices, System on Chip (“SoC”) devices, configurable logic boards, Internet of Things (“IoT”) devices, and/or other types of devices or systems. For example, embodiments described herein may provide for the creation and configuration of logical devices or systems based on one or more microcontrollers, SoC devices, etc., edge-based processing of sensor data and/or other types of data received or generated by the microcontrollers, SoC devices, etc., and the generation of instructions to control physical devices communicatively coupled to the microcontrollers, SoC devices, etc.

An electronic device and method are disclosed. The electronic device operates in an edge computing environment, and includes: a memory storing an application, a wireless communication circuitry, and at least one processor. The at least one processor implements the method, including: receiving a query message querying whether application relocation is possible from an external server through wireless communication circuitry, identifying, using at least one processor, whether the application relocation is possible based on a running state of the application, in response to receiving the query message, when the application relocation is impossible, transmitting a first response message indicating that the application relocation is impossible to the external server, or when the application relocation is possible, transmitting a second response message indicating that the application relocation is possible to the external server.

Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, receiving network-related information associated with a first RAN that includes a first RIC, obtaining, from an artificial intelligence (AI) model synchronization system associated with a second RAN, data relating to an AI model deployed by a second RIC of the second RAN, determining, based on the data relating to the AI model and the network-related information associated with the first RAN, that the AI model can be leveraged by the first RAN to improve network performance of the first RAN, performing synchronization with the AI model synchronization system to obtain the AI model, responsive to the determining that the AI model can be leveraged by the first RAN to improve the network performance of the first RAN, and causing the first RIC to deploy the AI model in the first RAN after the performing the synchronization. Other embodiments are disclosed.
