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.

Presented herein are techniques associated with replicating an OpenRoaming™ policy federation in a Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) network environment. For example, techniques herein provide a roaming policy federation architecture for a 3GPP network environment. In one example a method is provided that may include encoding at least one multi-bit roaming policy for an identity provider and a plurality of bit-wise combinatorial permutations of the at least one multi-bit roaming policy within each of a plurality of multi-bit 3GPP broadcast identifiers, wherein the at least one multi-bit roaming policy includes bit-wise roaming policy information for the identity provider and configuring the multi-bit 3GPP broadcast identifiers for a mobile device associated with the identity provider, wherein the multi-bit 3GPP broadcast identifiers indicate that the mobile device is to connect to a visited radio access network associated with a local Internet Protocol (IP) access service or a home routed access service.

A method for gateway recovery processing and device, the method comprising: a first mobility management unit receiving Packet Data Network (PDN) connection signaling, and triggering a paging procedure for a terminal; in response to determining that the paging procedure fails, the first mobility management unit setting and storing flag information, wherein the flag information is used to indicate that the PDN connection signaling is in a suspended state; and in a case where the terminal moves from a coverage area of the first mobility management unit to a coverage area of a second mobility management unit, the first mobility management unit sending the flag information to the second mobility management unit, wherein the flag information is used for the second mobility management unit to trigger a Serving Gateway (SGW) to send a bearer update request message to a PDN Gateway (PGW).

This application provides a method, an apparatus, and a system for sending a terminal policy. After determining that a terminal is not reachable, a mobility management network element may send, to a visited policy control function network element, a notification indicating that a first message fails to be forwarded. The visited policy control function network element may determine, based on the notification, a first PTI allocated by a home policy control function network element to a first policy, and send, to the home policy control function network element, both the first PTI and the indication indicating that the first message fails to be forwarded, to notify the home policy control function network element.

A wireless roaming method and an apparatus, a storage medium and an access point device are disclosed. The wireless roaming method comprises: receiving, from an overlapping access point, first signal strength indication information that describes signal strength when a station transmits a data packet to the overlapping access point via a current channel, wherein the coverage of the overlapping access point overlaps with that of a current access point, the station accesses to the current access point, and the current access point operates on the current channel; measuring second signal strength information that describes signal strength when the station transmits a data packet to the current access point via the current channel; and sending the first signal strength indication information and the second signal strength indication information to the station, and/or generating a switching instruction based on the first signal strength indication information and the second signal strength indication information and sending at least the switching instruction to the station. The technical solution of the present disclosure can improve the efficiency of wireless roaming.

An apparatus and method can include monitoring whether a consumer of a target network receives a resource identifier, a first apiRoot identifying a producer, and a second apiRoot identifying the producer and a producer network. The first apiRoot is for routing a service request to the producer, and the second apiRoot is for routing the service request to the producer if the target network is different from the producer network. The method further comprises identifying the producer network based on the second apiRoot, and deciding whether the target network is different from the producer network. If the target network is not different from the producer network, the service request is sent wherein the resource is identified by the first apiRoot and the identifier. If the target network is different from the producer network, the service request is sent wherein the resource is identified by the second apiRoot and the identifier.
