A home appliance configured to be registered in a server, the home appliance includes: a wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi) module, based on the home appliance being registered in the server, communicatively connected to an access point (AP) and configured to periodically operate in an AP mode through a virtual interface, and a controller configured to control the Wi-Fi module to periodically operate in the AP mode. The Wi-Fi module is configured to generate a beacon signal to search for an unregistered home appliance based on the Wi-Fi module being operated in the AP mode.

Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for event subscription notification(s) are provided. One method may include providing, from a first network entity, a policy control request trigger about subscriptions for event exposure to a second network entity. The method may also include receiving a notification, from the second network entity, about the policy control request trigger, and installing or updating at least one policy and charging control (PCC) rule based on the information received in the notification from the second network entity.

A network device in a Multi-Access Edge Computing (MEC) cluster is configured to: receive, from a wireless station, information associated with a User Equipment (UE) device that is wirelessly attached to a network through the wireless station and estimate a first time interval to complete a task for the UE device based on the information. If the first time interval is less than a threshold time interval, the processor is to: signal, through the wireless station, to the UE device to be in a connected state; execute the task; and send a result of the execution, through the wireless station, to the UE device.

The disclosure relates to a 5.sup.th generation (5G) or pre-5G communication system for supporting a higher data transmission rate than a 4G communication system such as LTE. An operating method of a network node in a wireless communication system is provided. The method includes receiving, from a session management function (SMF), information on at least one device side TSN translator port (DS-TT port) number of at least one DS-TT port for at least one packet data unit (PDU) session, generating at least one of a port management information container and a bridge management information container based on the at least one DS-TT port number, and transmitting, to a centralized network controller (CNC), the at least one of the port management information container and the bridge management information container.

The present disclosure relates to a communication method and system for converging a 5th-Generation (5G) communication system for supporting higher data rates beyond a 4th-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. Embodiments herein provide a method for performing a routing ID (RID) update in user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication network.

A learning apparatus according to the present disclosure includes collection means for acquiring, from a collection apparatus configured to collect requests for updating position information of user terminals, a plurality of reception signal data pieces including transmission source countries and reception times of the collected requests for updating the position information. The learning apparatus further includes generation means for generating, for each of the user terminals, user data including a movement history between two countries in one direction and a movement time between the two countries in the one direction based on the acquired plurality of reception signal data pieces. The learning apparatus further includes learning means for learning a statistical value of the movement time between the two countries in the one direction based on the generated user data for each of the user terminals.

Tracking devices can be associated with safe zones, smart zones, and high risk zones. Safe zones correspond to regions where a likelihood that a tracking device is lost within the safe zone is lower than outside the safe zone. High risk zones correspond to regions where a likelihood that a tracking device is lost within the high risk zone is higher than outside the high risk zone. Smart zones correspond to an expected tracking device, mobile device, or user behavior. Home areas are geographic regions in which a user resides, and travel areas are geographic regions in which a user does not reside. A tracking device can be configured to operate in a mode selected based on a presence of the tracking device within a safe zone, a smart zone, a high risk zone, a home area, or a travel area.

Methods and apparatuses are disclosed for exposure of monitoring event. According to an embodiment, a network exposure node receives a first request for subscribing to a plurality of monitoring reports for each of a group of terminal devices which include one or more terminal devices having both globally valid identifiers (IDs) and locally valid IDs. The network exposure node obtains, from a subscriber management node, the globally valid IDs and the locally valid IDs of the one or more terminal devices and a correspondence between the globally valid IDs and the locally valid IDs. In response to receiving from a mobility management node a monitoring report for a terminal device in the group of terminal devices, the network exposure node determines, for the terminal device, a current remaining number of monitoring reports based on the obtained IDs and correspondence.
