When handover occurs between access systems, the IP address is retained and the IP anchor used when the UE transmits an Attach Request having a Handover Attach Request Type and otherwise a new IP address is provided and the HSS but not the IP anchor is common between the access systems. The 5G eNB to which the UE is connected is standalone and connected to the 5G CN or dual mode and connected with an EPC via an LTE anchor in addition to the 5G CN.

A method in an access node of a Mobile network. The method comprises: maintaining, by the access node, device administration data pertaining to a mobile electronic device, the device administration data including at least one statistic pertaining to traffic to and from the mobile electronic device, and at least one rule for controlling an operation of the mobile electronic device; updating, by the access node, the at least one statistic based on the traffic to and from the mobile electronic device; enforcing, by the access node, the at least one rule based on the at least one statistic; and synchronizing, by the access node, the device administration data pertaining to the mobile electronic device with corresponding second device administration data maintained by a second access node of the Mobile network.

A method and system for group handover is provided. In an embodiment, a method in a network component for group handover in a wireless network includes receiving, at the network component, a mobility command from a target base station. The method also includes processing, with the network component, the mobility command in a packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) layer of a context for a remote user equipment (UE) to generate a PDCP Protocol Data Unit (PDU). The method also includes encapsulating the PDCP PDU as a field in a radio resource control (RRC) message to the relay UE.

Provided are a method and an apparatus for processing a Radio Link Failure (RLF) when duplicate data transmission is performed via single-BS-based CA. The method of processing an RLF by a user equipment (UE) may include: receiving, from a Base Station (BS), higher layer signaling including information for configuring duplicate data transmission via single BS-based CA; configuring a logical channel restricted to one or more secondary cells and a Radio Link Control (RLC) entity for duplicate transmission, based on the higher layer signaling; and transmitting, to the BS, a secondary cell failure report without performing RRC re-establishment procedure, when an RLF occurs in the RLC entity.
