The present disclosure provides methods for releasing a reserved resource in a network. An operation method performed in a first communication node of a vehicle network includes generating a first frame including identification information of a stream transmitted through a reserved resource and a first indicator instructing to release the reserved resource; and transmitting the first frame to a second communication node.

An MEC node acquires, from each base station, a measured traffic volume in a cell (target cell) formed by each base station, and predicts a traffic volume after a unit time in the target cell based on the measured traffic volume. Upon receiving from a vehicle in the target cell an inquiry regarding whether or not data transmission is permitted, the MEC node determines whether or not to permit data transmission by the vehicle, based on a prediction result of the traffic volume, and a volume of data to be transmitted by the vehicle which is indicated by information included in the inquiry. In accordance with a result of the determination, the MEC node transmits, to the vehicle that has transmitted the inquiry, a response indicating whether or not to permit data transmission.

Peripheral devices such as wearables can link to mobile devices to access network elements. These peripheral devices can comprise a communication part and a processing part. Each of these parts, specially the processing part of the next item in a communication chain, can be multiple times larger and stronger than the previous linked item. For instance, the peripheral device can be connected to the mobile device which can be in line connected to an NodeB device. Because the processing power of mobile device can be several times stronger than the peripheral, a mobile edge computing platform and a multi-access application function facilitate sharing of processing power capabilities between the peripheral devices, mobile devices, and/or the NodeB devices.

According to an embodiment herein a method performed by a radio network node for handling communication of data for a user equipment, UE, served in a service area associated with the radio network node in a wireless communication network is herein provided. The radio network node receives an indication from the UE, wherein the indication indicates a priority level for bandwidth allocation compared to other UEs. The radio network node further allocates a first bandwidth out of a total bandwidth to the UE for communication, wherein the first bandwidth is allocated in size based on the indication.

A closed loop processing interaction network in which the resource pool source of the user and the resource pool destination are both within the same organization or group of organizations. As such, resources associated with interactions may be distributed directly between the resource pools. The interactions may occur through communication between user computer systems (e.g., mobile devices, or the like) and/or interaction terminals of product providers (e.g., mobile devices, or the like). The interaction terminals of the product providers may create and allow for the use of interaction zones, which allows for the identification of users that are a part of the interaction network, allows users to receive specialized offers, allows for direct transfer of resources within an organization that by-pass traditional resource processing. The closed loop interaction network improves the processing speeds, memory requirements, security, and costs associated with processing resources related to interactions.

Apparatuses, methods, and systems for monitoring performance of a wireless network and assigning sectors of nodes of the wireless network are disclosed. A method includes monitoring a performance of links between sectors of wireless nodes of the wireless network, assigning or reassigning sectors of the wireless nodes to operate in a first mode based on the monitored performance of the links, wherein all of the sectors operating in the first mode are configured to transmit signals or simultaneously receive signals, and assigning or reassigning sectors of the plurality of wireless nodes to operate in a second mode based on the monitored performance of the links, wherein all of the sectors operating in the second mode are configured to transmit signals when all of the sectors operating in the first mode are receiving signals, or receive signals when all of the sectors operating in the first mode are transmitting signals.

A method for operating a device in a wireless communication system is provided. The method includes receiving a plurality of embedded subscriber identity module (eSIM) profiles, each eSIM profile being associated with at least one quality of service (QoS) feature, performing a primary mapping between the plurality of eSIM profiles and applications available on the device based on QoS requirements of the applications, and performing transfer of data belonging to the applications using the mapped eSIM profiles corresponding to the primary mapping.

Techniques to schedule transmission of a packet from a computing platform include calculating adjustments to portions of the packet to cause corrections to at least one portion of the packet. An adjustment to a scheduled transmission of the packet is made based on the corrections.

Embodiments herein may include systems, apparatuses, methods, and computer-readable media, for a multi-access edge computing (MEC) system. An apparatus for MEC may include a communication interface, a local cost measurements module, and a service allocation module. The communication interface may receive, from a UE, a request for a service to be provided to the UE. The local cost measurements module may collect a set of local cost measurements for the service. The service allocation module may determine to allocate the service to a MEC host based on an allocation policy related to a cost for the MEC host to provide the service or a cost for a service provider to provide the service in view of the one or more local cost measurements. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

Device group partitions and a settlement platform are provided. In some embodiments, device group partitions (e.g., partitions of devices based on associated device groups) are provided. In some embodiments, a settlement platform service is provided. In some embodiments, a settlement platform service is provided for partitioned devices. In some embodiments, collecting device generated service usage information for one or more devices in wireless communication on a wireless network; and aggregating the device generated service usage information for a settlement platform for the one or more devices in wireless communication on the wireless network is provided. In some embodiments, a settlement platform implements a service billing allocation and/or a service/transactional revenue share among one or more partners. In some embodiments, service usage information includes micro-CDRs, which are used for CDR mediation or reconciliation that provides for service usage accounting on any device activity that is desired. In some embodiments, each device activity that is desired to be associated with a billing event is assigned a micro-CDR transaction code, and a service processor of the device is programmed to account for that activity associated with that transaction code. In some embodiments, a service processor executing on a wireless communications device periodically reports (e.g., during each heartbeat or based on any other periodic, push, and/or pull communication technique(s)) micro-CDR usage measures to, for example, a service controller or some other network element for CDR mediation or reconciliation.
