Methods, systems, and computer readable media for reporting a reserved load to a network function in a communications network are disclosed. One method includes determining, by a NF service producer, a current compute load metric value for the NF service producer operating in a communications network and detecting a number of active sessions supported at the NF service producer. The method further includes deriving a reserved compute load metric value corresponding to a predicted number of subsequent service requests at the NF service producer based on the number of active sessions and a predictive reserved load percentage value and calculating an adjusted reported compute load metric value amounting to a sum of the current compute load metric value and the reserved compute load metric value.

An intelligent simultaneous core that provides coordination between private core(s) and public core(s) (i.e., carrier core(s)) to improve network throughput and efficiency is disclosed. Both the private core(s) and the public core(s) may be configured for and facilitate 5G communications. Network procedures and protocols may intelligently divide processing throughput based on factors such as capacity, bit rate, etc. When only a particular data throughput can be supported, for example, a simultaneous core connection can be utilized.

A wireless network can manage interference between different guest enterprises operating in overlapping coverage regions on the same spectrum. A first connection can be established between a host control unit (CU) of a wireless network host and a first enterprise CU of a first enterprise. A second connection can be established between the host CU and a second enterprise CU of a second enterprise. The first enterprise is associated with a first cell site and the second enterprise is associated with a second cell site, and the first cell site includes an overlapping coverage region with the second cell site. Transmissions from the first and second enterprises are coordinated in the overlapping coverage region based on load information or mobility information from the first cell site and the second cell site. The load information or mobility information is transmitted over the first connection or the second connection.

One such method includes: using Access Traffic Steering, Switching and Splitting (ATSSS) User Equipment Route Selection Policy (URSP) to map a first portion of traffic to 3GPP Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS) 5G access and to map a second portion of traffic to non-3GPP Wi-Fi access; creating a Multi-Access Protocol Data Unit (MA-PDU) session using ATSSS between a User Plane Function (UPF) and User equipment (UE) through the 3GPP CBRS 5G access and the non-3GPP Wi-Fi access; implementing ATSSS load balancing to control traffic congestion between the 3GPP CBRS 5G access and the non-3GPP Wi-Fi access; and initiating one of a plurality of ATSSS steering modes to define a primary access network and a backup access network, wherein, in response to the primary access network becoming unavailable, the system automatically switches to the backup access network.

Embodiments of this application provide a communications method, apparatus, and system. The method includes: A terminal device receives first information sent by a network device, where the first information includes access control information of services with N service attributes, and N is an integer greater than or equal to 1; and the terminal device determines, based on a first service that currently needs to be initiated and the first information, whether the terminal device can initiate the first service, where the N service attributes include at least a non-public network service, and the first service is any one of the services with the N service attributes. Therefore, access control on the terminal device is implemented when there is a non-public network service.

A distributed radio access network (RAN) includes a new radio unit (RU) being connected to a front-haul network. The new RU determines its own Internet Protocol (IP) address based on its MAC address; and send a discovery message to all radio controllers in the front-haul network via a multicast address. The distributed RAN also includes a plurality of radio controllers communicatively coupled to the new RU via the front-haul network. Each of the plurality of radio controllers are configured to receive the discovery message and determine whether the new RU is assigned to the respective radio controller. Each of at least one radio controller, to which the new RU is assigned, establishes at least one configuration session with the new RU.

The electronic device includes a first communication circuit for supporting at least one of first cellular communication or second cellular communication, a second communication circuit for supporting short-range wireless communication, memory, comprising one or more storage media, storing instructions; an application processor coupled to the memory, and a communication processor coupled to the memory, wherein the instructions, when executed by the application processor, cause the electronic device to check whether the electronic device satisfies, in a state in which the electronic device is connected to a cellular network through the first cellular communication in a call connection status through voice over (Vo) wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi), a first condition related to disconnection of the first cellular communication, and transmit, to the communication processor, in a state in which the electronic device satisfies the first condition related to the disconnection of the first cellular communication, on the basis that the electronic device satisfies a second condition related to the disconnection of the first cellular communication, a signal indicating that the electronic device satisfies the second condition related to the disconnection of the first cellular communication, wherein instructions, when executed by the communication processor, cause the electronic device to prepare to disconnect the first cellular communication and connect the second cellular communication on the basis of reception of the signal indicating that the first condition related to the disconnection of the first cellular communication is satisfied, and perform the disconnection of the first cellular communication and the connection of the second cellular communication based on reception of the signal indicating that the second condition related to the disconnection of the first cellular communication is satisfied.

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may transmit at least one of first information associated with splitting a data volume across a first cell group and a second cell group, or second information associated with sharing UE resources across the first cell group and the second cell group. The UE may communicate via the first cell group and the second cell group in accordance with at least one of a split of the data volume across the first cell group and the second cell group based at least in part on the first information, or an allocation of the UE resources across the first cell group and the second cell group based at least in part on the second information. Numerous other aspects are described.

Various communication systems may benefit from the appropriate aggregation of multiple radio access technologies. For example, certain communication systems may benefit from optimized signaling for wireless local area network and third generation partnership projection aggregation. A method can include determining, by a network element, which parameters according to a first standard are also applicable according to a second standard for aggregation and/or interworking. The method can also include indicating the determined parameters to a user equipment.
