A mechanism of authenticating a communication device onto a radio access network via a private wireless gateway is described. This includes communicating with a communication device via a first wireless interface authentication information, a preferred roaming list (PRL), and an initial access value are obtained from the communication device. A first expected access value is determined based on rolling code data and a secret function. The PRL is authenticated when the first expected access value matches the initial access value. The communication device is proxied onto a radio access network via a second wireless interface. The proxying includes providing the authentication information and the PRL to a cell site attached to the radio access network.

A method includes for at least one mobile terminal connected to a base station of the infrastructure, obtaining of at least once characteristic of at least one radio-communication signal occupying a frequency band used by the base station and the mobile terminal to communicate with each other and received by the mobile terminal or by the base station; searching, using the at least one characteristic of a disturbance in the frequency band; and, if a disturbance is detected in the frequency band, decreasing a transmission power of the base station at least in a transmission frequency band used by the base station to transmit radio-communication signals to at least one connected mobile terminal.

An apparatus for shared spectrum access (referred to at times hereinafter by the acronym “ASSA”, or more generally, as a “gateway device”) is configured to work with one or more private networks, providing control of operating parameters such as the assignment of a specific frequency band (channel), maximum level of transmission power at an assigned channel, and/or even the ability to use a shared spectrum assignments, updating as need be. By virtue of provisioning end-user devices (EUDs) with software-defined transceivers, the ASSA may function to broadcast “operation parameters” (i.e., assigned frequency band and maximum transmission power) to all EUDs within its range. The EUDs may be fixed or mobile devices.

This disclosure provides systems, methods, and apparatuses for low latency switching between a plurality of secondary nodes (SNs) based on a configuration for the plurality of the SNs provided to a user equipment (UE). In one aspect, the UE may obtain measurements for the plurality of the SNs according to the configuration during dual connectivity communications with a master node (MN). The MN or the UE may facilitate switching between the plurality of the SNs based on the measurements.

This disclosure provides systems, methods, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for operating a user equipment (UE) in a next generation (NG) radio access network (RAN) (NG-RAN) to validate a system information block (SIB) for non-public networks (NPNs). In one aspect, a UE receiving a SIB-one (SIB1) from a cell of the NG-RAN may determine whether the cell supports non-public networks (NPNs) based on the received SIB1. If so case, the UE may determine whether an NPN-identifier (NPN-ID) in the received SIB1 matches an NPN-ID of a SIB stored in memory. If so, the UE may validate the stored SIB based at least in part on the received SIB1. If not, the UE may invalidate the stored SIB and obtain a new SIB per standard procedures.

When a handover request for performing a handover of a terminal (70) from a macro cell C1 to a CSG cell C2 is received from an SeNB 10 (S8), a base station (TeNB) (40) of the CSG cell C2 transmits a handover response in accordance with a handover enabled/disabled state (S12). The handover response includes an identifier of the terminal (70) in the CSG cell C2. Upon receiving the response, the SeNB (10) notifies the identifier to the terminal (70) (S14). The TeNB (40) repeatedly transmits a dedicated signal containing a handover command via a dedicated channel set using the identifier at an interval shorter than a gap period (S18). Accordingly, whether or not access is permitted can be judged promptly and a smooth handover can be realized.

In some examples, a user equipment may perform a method that includes identifying that a first wireless network operated by an enterprise is accessible to the user equipment as well as identifying that a second wireless network different from the first wireless network and also operated by the enterprise is accessible to the user equipment. The method performed by the user equipment may further include selecting the first wireless network to connect to instead of the second wireless network based on an enterprise employee characteristic associated with the user equipment.

This disclosure related to the aspects of 5G system that supports Public Land Mobile Network and Non-Pubic Network especially in the context of how the UE (110) can handle multiple subscriptions when connecting to a Non-Public Network.

A tiered service management resource providing management of wireless channels in a network environment receives notification of wireless bandwidth such as multiple wireless channels allocated by a spectrum access system (a.k.a., SAS). The spectrum access system allocates the wireless channels for use by a wireless base station in the network environment. Prior to re-allocating the wireless bandwidth (such as a selected wireless channel) to customer premises equipment, the tiered service management resource further receives a communication indicating a wireless spectrum scan performed at a location from which customer premises equipment in the network environment is (being) installed to wirelessly communicate with the wireless base station. Based on an identified fixed wireless service tier (or level) assigned to the customer premises equipment and supplemental information such as the wireless spectrum scan, the tiered service management resource allocates a selected wireless channel from SAS-assigned bandwidth for use by the customer premises equipment.

The present disclosure relates to inter-network mobility methods, apparatus, and communications devices. In one example method, a first access device sends a first indication to a terminal device, where the first indication is used to indicate the terminal device to reserve first information after the terminal device moves from a first network to a network other than the first network, and the first information includes one or more of a context of the terminal device in the first network, information about a signaling radio bearer (SRB) in the first network, information about a data radio bearer (DRB) in the first network, an identifier of the terminal device in the first network, information about a first cell in which the first access device provides a service for the terminal device, an identifier of the first network, or a cause value.
