A method for determining a network access level for a user equipment is provided. In the method, a residence parameter of the user equipment on a target edge computing node of a vehicle-to-everything (V2X) system is obtained. The target edge computing node is one of a plurality of network levels in the V2X system. The one of the plurality of network levels of the target edge computing node is determined as the network access level of the user equipment when the residence parameter meets an access condition of the target edge computing node, so that the user equipment is configured to access a core network of the V2X system through any edge computing node belonging to the determined network access level during movement of the user equipment.

Systems herein allow an administrator to efficiently enroll computing devices into a mobile device management system, even when those computing devices are offline and not connected to the system. A management server can include a console that allows the administrator to enroll an offline computing device by selecting an offline enrollment option on a registration record. This option can cause the management server to create a device record, indicating the computing device is enrolled. The management server can also create and save a provisioning file onto a storage device, such as a USB drive. Assets, such as graphics and applications, specified by the device record are also saved onto the storage device. The storage device can be physically connected to the computing device, at which point the provisioning file guides automatic installation of the assets and implementation of device settings and compliance rules specified by the device record.

Embodiments of this application provide a blind detection method. A terminal side device receives first indication information from a network side device, where the first indication information is used to determine at least one of N time units, a first time unit in the N time units corresponds to a type of terminal operation, the terminal operation is not performing a first operation, a second operation, and a third operation, the N time units belong to a same transmission time unit, and any one of the N time units includes at least one symbol, where N is an integer greater than 0. The terminal side device determines the N time units based on the first indication information, and performs the corresponding terminal operation in the first time unit in the N time units.

Aspects of the present disclosure provide a method for wireless communications by a user equipment (UE). The method generally includes receiving a request for a wireless connection from an application associated with one or more user equipment (UE) route selection policy (URSP) rules, attempting to establish the wireless connection for the application via a first subscriber identity module (SIM) according to one or more of the URSP rules associated with the application that are supported by the first SIM, and taking one or more actions to establish the wireless connection for the application via a second SIM if the attempt to establish the wireless connection for the application via the first SIM fails.

A first device in a communication network receives from at least one second device in the communication network, a first request for acquiring a token, the token being permission for communicating with a third device. Based on the first request, a device from the at least one second device and the first device as a communication device is selected for providing a communication service to the third device in the communication network; and the token is transmitted to the communication device. The communication device receives the token for communicating with the third device. Other devices receive key information associated with communication of the third device from the first device, and monitor data associated with the communication of the third device.

The present disclosure relates to a communication method and system for converging a 5th-Generation (5G) communication system for supporting higher data rates beyond a 4th-Generation (4G) system with a technology for Internet of Things (IoT). The present disclosure may be applied to intelligent services based on the 5G communication technology and the IoT-related technology. A method of handling control plane data in a wireless network. The method comprises sending, by a user entity (UE), a non-access stratum (NAS) message along with an indication data to a mobility management (MM) core network entity. The MM core network entity processes the received NAS message and the indication data. The MM core network entity determines status of network congestion upon processing the processed NAS message. Sending, by the MM core network entity, a response to the UE based on at least one of the processed indication data and the determined network congestion.

Apparatuses, methods, and systems are disclosed for steering the traffic of the multi-access data connection over a plurality of steering connections. One apparatus includes a includes a transceiver and a processor that sends a first message to establish a multi-access data connection over a first access network and a second access network, where the first message indicates that the apparatus supports a first type of steering functionality that creates a plurality of steering connections over each of access networks. The processor receives a second message including rules indicating how to route a first data packet across the first and second access networks and how to route the first data packet across a plurality of steering connections. The processor establishes a plurality of steering connections over each access network in response to the second message and applies the rules for steering traffic of the multi-access data connection.

Disclosed herein are methods, systems and computer program products for predicting a cellular traffic load in a certain geographical area deployed with a plurality of network infrastructure apparatuses by identifying in-motion vehicular cellular devices moving in the certain geographical area and using one or more trained Machine Learning (ML) Models to predict the future cellular traffic load for one or more of the plurality of network infrastructure apparatuses based on an estimated future location of the vehicular cellular devices and a predicted cellular data consumption of the vehicular cellular devices. The future cellular traffic load may be provided to one or more cellular traffic management systems which may take one or more actions in advance based on the predicted future cellular traffic load.

A cell reselection method is a method that allows a user equipment to perform cell reselection of reselecting a cell to be used as a serving cell. The cell reselection method includes: transitioning from an RRC connected state to an RRC inactive state when a message is received from a network, the message including a configuration of a RAN notification area in which paging for the user equipment is performed; and after the transitioning to the RRC inactive state, selecting, among cells included in the RAN notification area, a redistribution target configured with a highest priority in the cell reselection, based on the RAN notification area configured according to the message and a redistribution parameter broadcast from the network.
