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.

Provided are a method for steering traffic performed by a terminal in a wireless communication system, and the terminal using the method. The method comprises: receiving a traffic steering indicator from a first network; evaluating a traffic steering condition; and if the traffic steering condition is satisfied, operating in a first operation mode or a second operation mode indicated by the traffic steering indicator, wherein the first operation mode is an operation mode in which the terminal is capable of performing, by itself, traffic steering for moving traffic from the first network to a second network, and the second operation mode is an operation mode for reporting the evaluation result of the traffic steering condition to the first network.

A terminal device (200) includes a wireless communication unit (210) that receives data transmitted from a base station device (100); a reception buffer (231) that can hold the data received by the wireless communication unit (210); and a transmission control unit (222) that can perform control, in accordance with a status of the reception buffer, such that communication status information indicating a reception status of the data is transmitted to the base station device (100).

While a user utilizes a communication device to communicate with other devices over a network, certain technical issues may cause the interruption or disconnection of the communication. The communication device may be configured to relay the communication to a secondary device to continue the communication without interrupting the communication.

Provided are a method of activating or deactivating terminal-based traffic steering by a terminal in a wireless communication system, and a device for supporting the same. The terminal performs terminal-based traffic steering, and transmits WLAN offloading information indicating a RAN/WLAN interworking state to a network, wherein the terminal-based traffic steering may be traffic steering on the basis of a RAN rule or ANDSF.

A portable electronic device comprises a first wireless interface and a second wireless interface. The first wireless interface is controlled to perform a control signaling with a further device over the first wireless interface. The second wireless interface is selectively activated to transmit data traffic to the further device and/or to receive the data traffic from the further device over the second wireless interface. The first wireless interface is maintained in an activated state to control the data traffic over the second wireless interface by the control signaling over the first wireless interface while the second wireless interface is activated.

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.

Present invention refers to a method and a system for an automatic traffic offloading in a wireless telecommunication network with both Self Organization Network (SON) and Access Network Discovery and Selection Function (ANDSF) capabilities. According to various embodiments of the invention, a user equipment collects some status information and send said information to a node of the network, where an optimization algorithm is applied and a decision for an offloading through a Wi-Fi access point in range of the UE is taken.

The present invention relates to performing mobile network configurations or changes. The invention presents a first device for performing the mobile network configuration or change, and a second device for generating feedback for supporting the mobile network configuration or change. The first device is configured to send a support request to the second device, wherein the support request specifies a reusable or specific feedback type and a target information. The second device is configured to send reusable or specific feedback about the target information in response to the support request. The first device is then configured to determine a configuration or change of the mobile network based on the reusable or specific feedback. The reusable feedback includes a value or set of values of the target information and at least one coordination parameter indicating how the reusable feedback is to be used by multiple second devices.
