A vehicle communication system includes a mobile server unit configured to be operably deployed onboard a first vehicle of a vehicle system. The mobile server unit includes an antenna, a transceiver, and a controller. The controller may control the transceiver to establish a wireless onboard private network with plural mobile client units that are located on other vehicles of the vehicle system, for wireless communications between the vehicles of the vehicle system, while the vehicle system is moving. The mobile server unit may establish the private network in coordination with other mobile server units that are onboard other vehicles in the vehicle system, such that a selected one of the mobile server units may be designated as a master server unit for overall control of the private network, and the other mobile server units are designated as subordinates.

Disclosed is a way to expand the range of Internet of Things devices in a home, office, or structure to the range of a local WiFi network. This is accomplished by generating a network bridge for the devices using machine-to-machine protocols to communicate using the WiFi network backhaul channel. Transmissions in machine-to-machine protocol are tunneled through WiFi communications and extracted by the closest access point. Access points include radios for both WiFi and machine-to-machine protocols.

A transfer management system for efficiently operating an enterprise wireless communication network (EN) at a campus location enables the EN to control congestion, selectively and smoothly admit UEs, and manage UE exits from the EN. An MNO Network (MN) footprint learning system learns the different MN footprints on the campus, relative to the BS/APs deployed by the individual enterprise, which defines a footprint of wireless coverage for each MNO that has wireless coverage. The MN footprint provides useful information that enables successfully transitioning a UE between an EN and an MNO, which provides the EN with the ability to utilize other networks to offload one or more UEs to manage congestion, delay or deny admission of UEs, and proactively exit UEs to manage congestion or for other reasons.

A system includes a subscription storage that stores an APN for identifying a home base station and the service class available for a UE as subscription information, in correspondence with a mobile terminal identifier for identifying UE; a positional information update request receiver for receiving a positional information update request of UE 70 from an MME; and a positional information response transmitter that extracts the available service class included in the positional information update request, from the subscription storage and transmits a positional information update response included with the extracted service class to MME. With this configuration, it is possible to provide a mobile communication system in which, for a plurality of services of a home base station, the owner of a home base station can set the access right for each of the services, and communication data is transferred based on the set access right.

The disclosed methods and systems use artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) technologies to model the usage and interference on each channel. For example, units of the system can measure channel interference regularly over the time of day on all radios. The interference information is communicated to the base unit or a cloud server for pattern analysis. Interference measurements include interference from units within the system as well as interference from nearby devices. The base unit or the cloud server can recognize the pattern of the interference. Further, connected devices have a number of network usage characteristics observed and modeled including bitrate, and network behavior. These characteristics are used to assign channels to connected devices.

A router of a private cellular network is configured to receive data packets from a plurality of endpoints; analyze the data packets to determine a corresponding source of each data packet; determine whether each corresponding source is a valid source; drop a data packet for which the corresponding source is invalid; for a data packet received from a valid source, determine whether to process the data packet internally or forward the data packet for external processing and route the data packet to a corresponding destination, the corresponding destination being one of a local enterprise network or a corresponding home cellular network of the valid source from which the data packet is received, wherein the private cellular network is configured to service a confined physical location in which home cellular networks of data packets received from valid sources do not provide cellular connectivity that meets a threshold level of cellular service.

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.

An apparatus and system for onboarding network behavior based on the type of UE and identification information are described. The identification information, if provided by the UE, is provided either during an initial registration procedure or a configured PDU session establishment procedure and includes one or both of an SO-SNPN and provisioning server identity. The UE, if identification information is provided by an SMF, overwrites the default identification information stored in the UE and performs provisioning server discovery on a provisioning server identity in the identification information. If the UE does not store provisioning server identification, the UE constructs a well-defined FQDN to perform provisioning server discovery.

The present disclosure relates to a pre-5.sup.th-Generation (5G) or 5G communication system to be provided for supporting higher data rates Beyond 4.sup.th-Generation (4G) communication system such as Long Term Evolution (LTE). According to an embodiment, a method and apparatus for selecting a serving network by a provisioning server in a wireless communication system comprises receiving, from a user equipment (UE), first stand-alone non-public network (SNPN) information including an identifier (ID) of at least one SNPN received by the UE and second SNPN information including an ID of an SNPN with which the UE is in onboarding process, receiving contractual relationship information related to the UE from a default credential server, and selecting a serving SNPN for the UE based on the first SNPN information, the second SNPN information, and the contractual relationship information.

A method and apparatus for discovering and selecting a network that provides connectivity for transmitting user subscription data is provided. A user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system includes a transceiver and at least one processor configured to identify preconfigured first information comprising a first list, the first list comprising at least one identifier (ID) of at least one network group providing an initial access to a non-public network (NPN), receive, from at least one base station via the transceiver, second information comprising at least one second list, the at least one second list comprising at least one ID of at least one network group which is supported by the at least one base station and provides an initial access to the NPN, and select a network to be initially accessed from a network group corresponding to at least one ID included in the first list and the at least one second list, based on the first information and the second information.
