A communication device may cause a first wireless interface of the communication device to send a first signal in a case where a state of the communication device is a respondent state. The respondent state may be a state in which a Wi-Fi connection is able to be established between the communication device and a terminal device. The first signal may be sent from the first wireless interface before a Bluetooth connection is established between the communication device and a terminal device. The communication device may cause the first wireless interface to send a second signal in a case where a state of the communication device is a non-respondent state. The non- respondent state may be a state in which the Wi-Fi connection is not able to be established. The second signal may be sent from the first wireless interface before the Bluetooth connection is established.

The present disclosure relates to a communication scheme and system for converging a 5.sup.th generation (5G) communication system for supporting a data rate higher than that of a 4.sup.th generation (4G) system with an internet of things (IoT) technology. The present disclosure is applicable to intelligent services (e.g., smart homes, smart buildings, smart cities, smart cars, connected cars, health care, digital education, retails, and security and safety-related services) based on the 5G communication technology and the IoT-related technology. The present disclosure provides a method for managing a data transmission connection of a PDU session for data communication between a terminal and a network based on a determination made by the network in a mobile communication system.

Accordingly, embodiments herein disclose a method performed by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system. The method comprises receiving, from an access and mobility management function (AMF), a non-access stratum (NAS) message, wherein the non-access stratum (NAS) message includes information indicating whether the UE is registered for emergency services and determining registering for the emergency services based on the NAS message.

Methods and apparatuses are described herein for spectrum sharing and transmission mechanisms for different channel access priorities. For example, a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) may be configured as either a high priority (HP) WTRU or a low priority (LP) WTRU, wherein a HP WTRU is configured to use a first channel access method for accessing the set of network resources and a LP WTRU is configured to use a second channel access method for accessing the same set of network resources, the second channel access method having a lower priority than the first channel access method. A set of protected network resources may be scheduled within the set of network resources for being accessed by the LP unit (e.g., over a limited period of time) with fewer channel access restrictions (e.g., with a higher priority channel access method than in any unprotected network resources).

Systems and methods for improving efficiency in a mobile communications network are described. In one embodiment, a method for conserving network resources comprises releasing network resources related to a User Equipment (“UE”) session at one or more network nodes without notifying the UE. A subset of the session information that can be used to connect with the UE is stored at a network node. If data is received for the UE, the stored subset of information can be used to 1) establish network resources related to the UE that were previously released and 2) deliver the data to the UE. In another embodiment, shared data resources are granted to one or more subscribers associated with a Designated User Group (“DUG”). An online charging session is assigned to the DUG that identifies policy data for granting shared data resources to the Designated User Group.

A parent access node may establish a first link with a child access node. In some cases, the parent access node may determine to release a resource of the first. The parent access node may transmit downlink signaling indicating release of the resource. As such, the child node may schedule a child link resource (e.g., a parent-controlled resource) corresponding to the released resource. The child node may then communicate with a child node of its own in accordance with the scheduling of the child link resource. In some cases, the resource release indication may be associated with a one-time resource release, or may be associated with a semi-persistent release (e.g., until the parent node reclaims the released resources). In some examples, the child node may transmit an uplink message to request resources from the parent node (e.g., and the resource release may be based on the request).

A wireless communication method and apparatus. The method includes sending, with a first subscriber identity a first message to a first access network device, the first message requesting establishment or resumption of a second radio resource control (RRC) connection with the second subscriber identity, the first message including auxiliary information indicating to determine to release or deactivate a first RRC connection established with the first subscriber identity, and the second RRC connection being a connection established with the second subscriber identity, and receiving, with the first subscriber identity, a second message from the first access network device and that indicates to release or deactivate the first RRC connection, where the terminal device is in an RRC connected state with the first subscriber identity and in an RRC idle state or an RRC deactivated state with the second subscriber identity.

A condition handover method, a related equipment and a computer-readable storage medium are provided. The condition handover method applied to a source network unit includes: receiving indication information indicating that a CHO is performed by a terminal; and sending, to a first target network unit corresponding to the CHO performed by the terminal, data to be forwarded corresponding to the terminal.
