Methods and apparatuses are provided that prevent a user equipment (UE) from entering into a permanent out of service (OOS) state. The UE receives a registration reject message associated with a permanent cause when the UE triggers a registration request for registering with a first network entity. It is determined whether the UE was previously registered with a second network entity upon receiving the registration reject message associated with the permanent cause. The UE stores a network entity identifier of the first network entity in a temporary forbidden list when the UE was previously registered with the second network entity, to prevent the UE from entering into the permanent OOS state.

Apparatuses, methods, and systems are provided for securely configuring a Java Card virtual machine operating on a cellular device's application processor. In one embodiment, a connected device with an integrated cellular modem, a virtual universal integrated circuit chip and an integrated fingerprint scanner are used. In another embodiment, the cellular device's built-in camera is used, instead of an integrated fingerprint scanner, to capture the user's facial image.

A device, system and method for determining and providing bearer indications for a group communication session is provided. A server for managing a group communication session determines active communication devices of the group communication session. The server determines bearer indications for the active communication devices, the bearer indications indicating: whether a respective bearer of an active communication device is a unicast bearer or a multicast bearer; and whether the respective bearer has a guaranteed bit rate or no guaranteed bit rate. The server transmits, to each of the active communication devices, the bearer indications to cause each of the active communication devices to provide, at a respective notification device, a notification of the bearer indications.

A method and apparatus for implementing Idle and Connected Mode mobility to and from a Home evolved Node-B (HNB) in a wireless environment. Methods to implement differentiated charging when accessing HNBs, as well as the criteria used to make a cell reselection decision when an HNB is detected, criteria for making a handoff decision and methods to indicate charging and other policies/preferences and configurations to a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU).

An objective is to avoid a situation where a mobile station UE, which is not a CSG member, uses a CSG cell as an Scell in CSG control. A radio base station eNB according to the invention includes a management unit 12 configured to manage at least one of a Pcell list and an Scell list, a reception unit 11 configured to acquire at least one of Pcell member information and Scell member information from a mobile station UE in a cell #10, and a control unit 13 configured to determine whether or not the mobile station UE can connect to the cell #10 as a Pcell and determine whether or not the mobile station UE can configure the cell #10 as an Scell by referring to the management unit 12 based on at least one of the Pcell member information and the Scell member information.

An access control method, a charging method, an apparatus, a communication device, and a readable storage medium are provided, which belong to the field of communication technology. The access control method in embodiments of the present disclosure includes: sending, by a first network element, a first request message to a second network element, where the first request message includes at least one NPN identifier and is used for requesting to update a number of UEs for each NPN identifier; and receiving a first response message from the second network element, where the first response message includes first indication information, and the first indication information is used for indicating whether the number of UEs for each NPN identifier reaches the corresponding first value.
