A base station transmits a layered data signal to multiple devices that are in close proximity to each other where the layered data signal includes at least first data on a first data layer directed to a first device and second data on a second data layer directed to a second device. The base station also transmits a single control message to both devices where the control message comprises location dependent control information directed to both devices. The control message also comprises data layer control information arranged in multiple fields where data layer control information in a field is associated with a device and allows the associated device to recover the data from a data layer assigned to the device.

The disclosed technology includes a method and system for preventing or reducing cyber-attacks in telecommunications networks, such as 5G networks. For example, a first node in a 5G network can detect that a first connected device is at risk of a cyber-attack based on one or more conditions and can broadcast to a plurality of nodes in the RAN that the first connected device is at risk of the cyber-attack. The first node can receive a first message from a second node of the plurality of nodes confirming or acknowledging that the first connected device is at risk of the cyber-attack. In response to receiving the first message from the second node confirming or acknowledging that the first connected device is at risk of the cyber-attack, the system can deauthorize the first connected device.

The present invention relates to a communication technique for combining IoT technology with 5G communication systems for supporting higher data transmission rates than 4G systems, and to a system therefor. The present disclosure can be applied, on the basis of 5G communication technology and IoT-related technology, to intelligent services such as smart homes, smart buildings, smart cities, smart cars or connected cars, health care, digital education, retail business, security- and safety-related services. The present invention relates to a method for configuring temporal ordering of uplinks in a wireless communication system, more specifically, in 3GPP 5G New Radio (NR).

The present disclosure relates to method and apparatus for reporting processing delay related information in wireless communications. According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, a method performed by a wireless device in a wireless communication system comprises: receiving a configuration on measurements and reporting of reordering statistics; measuring a reordering delay (RD); calculating the reordering statistics; and sending a radio resource control (RRC) message including the reordering statistics based on a pre-defined condition.

The same or similar physical signals can be used for both user equipment (UE) and an integrated access backhaul (IAB) node. Different configurations of resources and/or transmission periods of the signals can be used for initial access for access UEs and IAB nodes. In addition, since the UE functionality for IAB nodes is not fully identical with access UEs, the network can identify which UEs performing initial access are normal access UEs or are IAB nodes with UE functionality. Furthermore, the parameters for configuring radio resource management operation at the IAB node gNode B function can consider a half-duplex constraint imposed by the UE function and can also analyze hop order and other topology/route management functionalities.

Systems and methods relating to transmission and use of Discovery Reference Signal (DRS) signals are disclosed in herein. In some embodiments, a method of operation of a Transmission Point (TP) in a cellular communications network comprises transmitting, from the TP, a same one or more DRS signals using at least two different transmit beams in at least two different time resources. Each transmit beam is characterized by a direction in which it is transmitted. In this manner, the TP is enabled to reuse DRS resources, which in turn enables transmission of DRS signals on a larger number of transmit beams and, correspondingly, adaptation of measurement procedures at wireless devices to obtain measurements on those transmit beams.

The present disclosure provides a measurement method, user equipment, and a network side device. The method includes receiving first measurement configuration information sent by a network side device, and performing measurement in an inactive mode based on the first measurement configuration information, to obtain a measurement result, where the first measurement configuration information is used at least in the inactive mode.

A cellular modem processor can include dedicated processing engines that implement specific, complex data processing operations. To implement PDCCH decoding, a cellular modem can include a pipeline having multiple processing engines, with the processing engines including functional units that execute instructions corresponding to different stages in the PDCCH decoding process. Flow control and data synchronization between instructions can be provided using a hybrid of firmware-based flow control and hardware-based data dependency management.

The invention provides a method performed by a home public land mobile network, PLMN, of controlling access of a user equipment, UE, device to a non-home PLMN when the UE device has an access to a non-trusted network and thereby a connection with the home PLMN via an interworking function entity, the method comprising in the event of the UE device requesting an attachment to the non-home PLMN, making in the home PLMN a decision as to whether control of the UE device should be handed over to the non-home PLMN; and communicating the decision to the non-home PLMN.

A method, computer program product and a user equipment (UE) are provided for assisting a user equipment (UE) in selecting a network function. A first message is received from the UE. The first message includes UE request capabilities. A second message is sent to the UE. The second message includes an indication that promotes the UE attempting to connect to a particular Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) using a network function belonging to the particular PLMN.
