The described technology is generally directed towards a multi-connectivity (three or more simultaneous communication links) framework in a wireless communication network, including aspects and components that support the operation of New Radio vehicle-to-everything (V2X) services. Aspects of the framework include initial access and V2X establishment, local manager selection, sidelink and cellular resource configuration, mobility and measurements (and reporting), group communication and vehicular platooning support, and V2X configuration and local manager association.

Disclosed are measurement method and device, information interchange method and device and residence method and device. The measurement method includes configuring measurement configuration information about a UE and sending same, the measurement configuration information including a measurement report trigger condition for a reference cell, so that the UE reports a measurement result when satisfying the measurement report trigger condition. The information interchange method includes interchanging discontinuous data transmission parameter configuration information with a fourth base station, so that a base station side executes scheduling and/or mobility management on a user equipment. The residence method includes sending indication information to a UE, the indication information being used for indicating whether the UE can reside in this cell or not, an object of the UE that can be resident, an object of the UE that cannot be resident, and at least one of the size and type of the cell.

A method for data transmission includes that: a first network device receives a registration request message or a registration updating request message from a user equipment (UE); the first network device acquires UE context information and UE data from a second network device based on the registration request message or the registration updating request message; and the first network device sends a registration response message to the UE. A device for data transmission is also provided.

A communication method, apparatus and system are provided. The method includes: A first network element receives, from an application function network element, a first request for requesting to obtain information about a first policy control network element, where the first policy control network element is a policy control network element that provides mobility management.

The first network element sends the information about the first policy control network element to the application function network element. Based on this solution, the application function network element obtains the information about the first policy control network element from the first network element, and the application function network element may further send input information to the first policy control network element, so that the first policy control network element can select, based on the input information, an AM policy that matches a requirement of a currently running application.

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for implementing adaptive geofence alerts are disclosed. In one aspect, a method includes the actions of receiving, by a server, data inputted into a first computing device of a first user. The actions further include, determining, by the server, a future location of a second user and a future time when the second user will likely be at the future location. The actions further include determining, by the server, a second computing device of the second user. The actions further include providing, for output to the second computing device, instructions to provide, to the server, location information of the second computing device based on a location of the second computing device being at least a threshold distance from the future location at the future time.

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.

Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to methods and apparatus for multiplexing new radio (NR) synchronization signals and paging signals. A Base Station (BS) decides whether or not to multiplex paging and synchronization signals in a set of time resources, a set of frequency resources or a combination thereof, the deciding based on at least one of a capability of the BS, a capability of at least one User Equipment (UE) served by the BS, an operating frequency band or a combination of tone spacings of the paging signals and the synchronization signals.

This application provides an RNA allocation method, a network device, and a terminal. The method includes receiving, by a first network device, a second message sent by a second network device, where the second message carries RPA information of the second network device, and the RPA information is used to identify an RPA. The method also includes sending, by the first network device, a third message to the second network device.
