A method for connecting a node of a wireless-communication coverage-extension system is provided. The node determines whether it has been moved out of an initial local area network. In the case where the node has been moved, a local area network is established from the moved node by activating an address server functionality. The moved node is then connected to a point of access to the internet. A secure tunnel is next established between the moved node and a master node coordinating the initial local area network. The address server functionality is then deactivated and a client functionality of an address server of the initial local area network is activated.

A method for a user equipment (UE) for receiving a public warning system (PWS) message is provided. The method receives, via a first serving cell or a higher layer of the UE, a configuration for warning message reception that is associated with a first network. The method receives the PWS message from a second network that is supported by a second serving cell. The method then determines, based on the received configuration, whether to accept the PWS message or to ignore the PWS message.

Apparatuses, methods, and systems are disclosed for configuring measurement reporting in non-public networks. One apparatus includes a transceiver that communicates with a UE , where the UE is connected to a non-public radio cell. The apparatus includes a processor that – via the transceiver - receives a first message containing a first indication of an access mode of the UE and sends a second message specifying at least one measurement configuration to the UE. The processor receives from the UEand via the transceiver – a measurement report containing measurement results of at least one neighboring radio cell of the communication network and determines to handover the UEto another radio cell of the communication network in accordance with the measurement results.

A method for operating a user equipment (UE) includes transmitting, by the UE, a registration request message to establish a connection for onboarding, the registration message comprising an onboarding and provisioning indication information; and completing, by the UE with a network entity, provisioning in accordance with the onboarding and provisioning indication information.

A controller of a macro wireless network provisions a user device for access to local private networks based on the cell that the user device uses to attach to the macro wireless network. The controller obtains information on private networks operating within a coverage area of the macro wireless network. The controller associates a particular cell of the macro wireless network with one or more private networks operating within the particular cell. The controller detects a user device in the particular cell and provisions the user device with access to the one or more private networks.

An indication method for an IMS emergency service state and device are provided. The method includes: a terminal operating in an SNPN mode receiving system information sent by a base station connected to an SNPN and a PLMN, wherein the system information includes first indication information indicating whether or not the SNPN supports an IMS emergency service, and second indication information indicating whether or not the PLMN supports an IMS emergency service; and the terminal operating in an SNPN mode determining, according to the first indication information, whether or not to allow initiation of an IMS emergency service on the SNPN.

Selection of a connection system is facilitated in MulteFire that simultaneously supports two types of modes, which are a PLMN access mode and an NHN access mode. A first wireless base station operates in a licensed frequency band and connects to a first network. A second wireless base station operates in an unlicensed frequency band and selects and connects to any of the first network and a second network. A wireless communication unit of a wireless communication device can communicate with each of the first and second wireless base stations. A connection-destination control unit notifies the second wireless base station to connect to the second network with priority over the first network within a range of the second wireless base station.

Disclosed are various embodiments for managing radio-based private networks. In one embodiment, a cellular network comprises at least one cell that provides a radio-based private network coverage of a site of an organization. The system further comprises at least one computing device in a cloud provider network that implements one or more network functions for an associated core network of the radio-based private network.

This application provides a communication method and a communication apparatus. The method includes: A first network device receives a first message. The first message includes an identifier of a terminal device. The first network device determines first network selection information. The first network selection information includes at least one of information about a standalone non-public network SNPN that allows the terminal device to access and information about whether the terminal device is allowed to access a public land mobile network PLMN. The first network device sends a second message. The second message includes the first network selection information.

The invention relates to a modular communication device having a master element with a control unit and bidirectional electrical control input-outputs, a series of modular elements having an upstream connection interface with a series of upstream input-output terminals disposed in locations forming a predetermined pattern, a downstream connection interface having a series of downstream input-output terminals disposed in locations forming the same predetermined pattern, a plurality of bidirectional electrical links connecting an upstream input-output terminal to a downstream input-output terminal in such a manner as to form a circular permutation between the ranks of the upstream and downstream input-output terminals electrically connected in pairs, and in which one of the electrical links is a local control link having an electronic communications module, the modular elements being connected to one another.
