An embodiment of the present application relates to the field of communication technologies, and particularly to a data offloading method and a gateway, for achieving data offloading and relieving pressure on a core network. The data offloading method according to the embodiment of the present application is applied to a long term evolution (LTE) system including a base station, a gateway, a core network, and a local server, wherein the base station establishes a link with the core network via the gateway and the base station establishes a link with the local server via the gateway. The method comprises: a gateway receives a first data packet transmitted by a base station, wherein the first data packet comprises first data; and the gateway transmits the first data to a local server upon determining that the first data packet is not a VoLTE data packet in an LTE system, thereby achieving offloading of non-VoLTE data and thus relieving the pressure on a core network.

A method for controlling a connection procedure for a terminal device requesting a radio connection to a cell supported by network infrastructure equipment in a wireless telecommunication system, the method comprising: determining, at the terminal device, that a request to connect to the cell supported by the network infrastructure equipment is to be made, establishing, at the terminal device, application information relating to an operating context for the terminal device: transmitting a connection request message from the terminal device to the network infrastructure equipment, wherein the connection request message comprises a request for the terminal device to connect to the cell and an indication of the application information; and determining, at the network infrastructure equipment, whether to allow the request for the terminal device to connect to the cell based, at least in part, on the application information received by the network infrastructure equipment from the terminal device.

The disclosure relates to a data transmission method and device, and a terminal. The method is applied to a terminal that establishes a communication connection with a correspondent node through a first link provided by a cellular network and a second link provided by a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN), respectively. The method includes acquiring relevant information of the WLAN that is accessed by a home terminal, the relevant information of the WLAN being used to indicate a data distribution capability of the WLAN; determining an amount of data transmitted to the correspondent node by the second link based on the relevant information of the WLAN; and transmitting uplink data to the correspondent node through the second link based on the amount of the data transmitted to the correspondent node.

The present application discloses an information processing method and device in a baseband processing split architecture, and a computer storage medium. The method includes: receiving, by a distributed unit (DU), load information of a plurality of central units (CUs), and determining, by the DU and according to the load information of the plurality of CUs, a first CU having a load greater than a target threshold value and a second CU having a load less than the target threshold value among the plurality of CUs; and, sending, by the DU, control signaling to the first CU and the second CU respectively to instruct to migrate cell data of the first CU from the first CU to the second CU to balance the load among the plurality of CUs.

Improvement of data throughput via backhaul sharing is accomplished by accessing a cell site servicing data transmission at a first data rate and a connected backhaul network having a backhaul data rate. A determination of whether the first data rate exceeds the backhaul data rate is made and an excess data rate is determined. When the first data rate exceeds the backhaul data rate a neighboring cell site having a second backhaul networks is accessed. A determination is made of how much additional capacity the second backhaul network can handle. When the neighboring cell site can handle the excess data rate backhaul sharing using beamforming is initiated.

Various embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method for flow control. The method which may be performed by a first radio device comprises generating a first flow control message based at least in part on flow control information per flow control group. The method further comprises transmitting the first flow control message to a second radio device.

During operation, an access point receives a message a message from a second access point with second information specifying loading of the second access point. Then, the access point receives a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) request from an electronic device with an Internet protocol (IP) address of the access point and a media access control (MAC) address of the electronic device. Next, the access point determines, based at least in part on information specifying loading of the access point, the second information and the MAC address, an assigned IP address of a gateway for the electronic device to access a second network, where the assigned IP address is one of the IP address of the access point, or a second IP address of the second access point. Moreover, the access point provides a DHCP response to the electronic device with the assigned IP address.

Systems and methods for MME adaptive selection are described. The method includes: initializing a health checkup algorithm at an eNodeB for each MME connected to as per configuration values; starting a health check timer for each MME; continuing with an Initial Attach procedure for incoming calls based on SAE-Temporary Mobile Subscriber Id (S-TMSI), (Globally Unique MME Identifier) GUMMEI, or capacity/load balancing considerations; on every UE attach attempt, incrementing a total calls count; and on every S1 AP Error Indication/no response from an ME, incrementing a total fail calls count; determining when the health check timer for an MME expires; calculating a failed calls/total calls percentage value. Based on the value of the timer, appropriate action is taken.
