In some examples, a user equipment (UE) obtains a connectivity in a first cell, the connectivity comprising a first type of connection that provides access to services in a local data network. The UE camps on a second cell, determines if the connectivity is not supported in the second cell based on broadcast information from the second cell, the broadcast information comprising information of the second cell, and in response to determining that the connectivity is not supported in the second cell, disconnect the connectivity, wherein the disconnecting comprises sending a Non Access Stratum (NAS) message via the second cell.

The present invention provides a service data transmission processing method and device and a communication system. The service data transmission processing method includes: receiving, by a service offloading apparatus, uplink service data sent by a user equipment; obtaining, by the service offloading apparatus, a service type of the uplink service data; and sending, by the service offloading apparatus, uplink service data, a service type of which is a core network service to a core network service proxy apparatus through a first service tunnel, or sending, by the service offloading apparatus, uplink service data, a service type of which is a non-core network service to a non-core network service proxy apparatus through a second service tunnel. The technical solutions can avoid excessive use of backhaul network resources of a core network by non-core network services.

In embodiments, apparatuses, methods, and storage media may be described for reducing the overhead associated with the transmission of channel training signals from an eNodeB (eNB) of a wireless network. Specifically, the eNB may receive feedback from a user equipment (UE) regarding the received signal energy of a first and second beamformed signal produced with a first and second beamforming vector, respectively. The eNB may identify, based on the feedback of the received signal energy, a signal subspace and a null subspace. The eNB may then transmit a channel training signal to the signal subspace.

The present disclosure describes local breakout for edge computing systems, wherein the local breakout selectively routes the traffic from/to a user equipment between an edge compute node or some other service such as a core network, cloud computing service, or the like. Packets related to microservices that are offered by the edge compute node are routed to the edge compute node instead of routing those packets to the core network, and packets that are not related to the microservices provided by the edge compute node are routed to the core network or to another network such as a data network or cloud computing service. In these ways, the local breakout mechanisms provide low latency and reduced network resource consumption for the microservices and decreased data traffic load on the core network.

It is desirable for a user equipment (UE) 100 to be able to determine if connecting using an access point name (APN) would result in a home routed or local breakout (LBO) routed connection. With this information, the UE can decide which APNs to use for packet data network (PDN) connections e.g. to ensure that the bearers on the PDN connection are able to carry certain services which are incompatible with home routing or LBO routing, or to ensure that charging is carried out by the home or visited network, as desired (e.g. to avoid roaming fees). Alternatively, the user can be presented with the option of home routing or LBO routing for a connection. In order to provide this information to the UE, modified signalling is proposed, among others, by means of a method of operating a mobility management entity (MME) 200 in a mobile telecommunications network. The MME provides, S103, to a UE a mapping between an APN that has been or may be used by the UE to establish a connection to a PGN gateway and a routing type associated with the connection. The routing type is one of home routing and local breakout, LBO, routing. The UE is roaming in a geographical area controlled by the MME.

Generally, this disclosure provides devices, systems and methods for provisioning of wireless local area network (WLAN) traffic load measurements to third generation partnership project 3GPP wireless cellular networks. A WLAN element manager (EM) may include a polling module to poll a WLAN access point (AP), the polling to request traffic load data from the WLAN AP; a timer module to trigger the polling module to poll at periodic intervals; a logging module to receive and log the requested traffic load data; and an integration reference point (IRP) agent including a reporting module to generate a traffic load report for transmission to a network manager (NM), the traffic load report based on the logged traffic load data.

An embodiment of the present disclosure provides a network access method, including transmitting a request for acquiring shared network information to a shared server if a mobile communication terminal detects that a network identification of a PLMN of a visited place does not exist in a local memory of the mobile communication terminal; receiving the shared network information which the shared server transmits in response to the request, and acquiring the network identification of the PLMN of the visited place from the shared network information; adding the network identification of the PLMN of the visited place to an EPLMN list by the mobile communication terminal; and accessing a network according to the EPLMN list.

A method includes responsive to receiving a first packet of a plurality of packets at a first radio access node enabling said first radio access node to receive at least one other of said plurality of packets. The method further includes causing said first packet to be sent by said first radio access node to a user equipment before said at least one other of said plurality of packets is caused to be sent to said user equipment.

A system and method is disclosed for allowing a Third-Party (TP) User Equipment (UE) to use a base station/access point (BS/AP), such as a 4G eNodeB (eNB) or a 5G gNodeB (gNB) of a private network, such as an enterprise network to access components of a network core, such as an Evolved Packet Core (EPC) in the TP network while also having access to features provided by or through components of an EPC within the private network.

A system for traffic management between a WiFi network and an LTE network that includes a network interface assignment module for determining from an operator side of the WiFi network and the LTE network a set of WiFi Access Points (APs) and LTE base stations for each user that provides a least a highest quality of experience for each of the users using input strength for all users to potential WiFi access points and LTE base stations. The system may further include an interface switching service (ISS) module that includes a control logic and a network HTTP proxy for delivering network switching instructions to devices of users. The control logic receiving instructions from the NIA module and sending signal to the devices of the users to switch from WIFI and LTE networks through the LTE network based upon signal strength of the users.
