A subscriber identity module (SIM) includes a profile area for storing a profile that is used to utilize a line of a mobile network operator, and an application area for storing an application. The profile area and the application area are separated.

The present disclosure is directed to method in a mobility management node and such a node for delivering data to a wireless communication device (WCD) served by the mobility management node, operating in a communication network comprising a network entity (NE) and a radio access network (RAN) node serving the WCD, the method comprises: obtaining capability information indicating whether the RAN node supports acknowledgement of a successful delivery of data to the WCD; receiving a data message sent by the NE comprising user data intended for the WCD; sending a control plane message comprising the user data to the RAN node for further delivery to the WCD; sending a response to the NE indicating the outcome of the data delivery.

An apparatus for performing a vehicle OTA update is provided. The apparatus includes a load factor measurement device that measures a load factor of a first communication channel for transmitting data for an OTA update of a controller included in a vehicle; a communication speed adjustment device that generates information for adjusting a transmission speed of the data over the first communication channel, based on the measured load factor; and a communication channel change device that generates information about whether to change a communication channel for the OTA update of the controller, based on the generated information for adjusting the transmission speed.

Embodiments of this application disclose a measurement gap configuration method, a terminal device, and a network device. The method includes: receiving, by a terminal device, configuration information sent by a network device, where the configuration information includes at least one measurement gap corresponding to a plurality of radio frequency channels that the terminal device has; and performing, by the terminal device, signal quality measurement according to the at least one measurement gap. The measurement gap configuration method enables the terminal device to flexibly process a measurement and data receiving/transmission process, to reduce impact of measurement on data receiving/transmission, thereby improving user experience.

A P25 radio can be configured to implement a key management facility to thereby manage keysets for and provision the keysets on other P25 radios in a communications system. The P25 radio, as a radio, can directly communicate with the other P25 radios to provision keysets in accordance with the OTAR protocol. The P25 radio may also be configured to function as a key fill device to thereby provision keysets manually on any of the other P25 radios to which it may be physically or wirelessly connected. The P25 radio may also be configured to use the keysets to communicate securely with any of the other P25 radios.

In a method for configuring a Software Defined Radio (SDR) capable user equipment, the SDR capable user equipment wirelessly loads an SDR program from a radio access network. The SDR capable user equipment executes the loaded SDR program, the SDR program on execution configuring the SDR capable user equipment to support a desired wireless communication technology. The SDR capable user equipment loads the SDR program using a dedicated SDR configuration channel, the dedicated SDR configuration channel being disjoint with any communication channel defined by the desired wireless communication technology. The SDR capable user equipment scans a predetermined frequency spectrum searching a broadcasted beacon. The SDR capable user equipment receives the broadcasted beacon and tunes to the dedicated SDR configuration channel or a subchannel thereof pointed to by a pointer for loading the SDR program.

There are proposed a method for identifying users of a wireless communication device and a system for implementation thereof. The method includes the steps of receiving a MAC address of the device by a subsystem of the system and creating instructions that, when executed, cause the device to launch a subprogram in an application, A user then starts working with the subprogram. A subprogram user identifier or reference thereto is provided in the user's identification subsystem. A reference to the device MAC address associated with the subprogram user identifier is passed to the user identification subsystem, and the user identification subsystem saves the reference to the user identifier and the reference to the device MAC address associated therewith. The proposed method and device allow for simplifying the procedure for identifying the user.

Some aspects of this disclosure relate to apparatuses and methods for implementing techniques for support mobility in a wireless network for user equipments (UEs) with varying capabilities. A UE can receive a first system information from a serving base station, where the first system information includes a UE capability condition associated with a neighbor base station, and determine whether a UE capability meets the UE capability condition associated with the neighbor base station. When the UE capability condition is met, the UE can determine whether a first measurement of a first reference signal received from the serving base station and a second measurement of a second reference signal received from the neighbor base station satisfy a threshold condition. When the threshold condition is met, the UE can obtain a second system information from the neighbor base station, indicating the UE has performed handover to the neighbor base station.

An operating method of a base station includes receiving, from a terminal, a user equipment (UE) capability signal including panel-related information of the terminal, determining whether to generate a panel change signal based on the panel-related information, determining a panel change of the terminal based on the panel-related information when it is determined to generate the panel change signal, and transmitting, to the terminal, the panel change signal including information regarding the panel change.
