Disclosed herein are a method and an NWDAF for collecting network data, including: transmitting a network exposure subscription request message including an event reporting granularity parameter to the NF; receiving a data set determined by the NF based on the event reporting granularity parameter from the NF through an event exposure notification message in at least one reporting cycle; and performing network data analysis using received data set.

A method and system for payments for mobile phone payments with a disabling feature is disclosed. The method includes activating a mobile phone containing contactless payment systems, and having a timeout feature disable the contactless payment systems after a set period of time.

An incoming communication processing system and method is disclosed for providing communication and data services to residents of a controlled facility. Specifically, the incoming communication processing system allows outside parties to initiate communications to residents of a controlled facility. The incoming communication processing system may work in conjunction with or separately from an outgoing communication processing system. Many restrictions and safeguards may be implemented within the incoming communication system in order to prevent improper use.

A method and system of detecting a delinquent mobile user device. An international mobile subscriber identity (IMSI) of a subscriber identity module (SIM) card of the user device is determined by the user device. The IMSI is sent to a Remote Recovery Server (RRS). A message is received from the RRS as to whether the IMSI is authorized for the user device. Upon determining that the IMSI is not authorized for the user device, a notification is displayed on a display of the user device.

Charging interval authorizations according to the techniques disclosed herein provide for credit reservation and charging of whole charging intervals across two or more credit containers(36) in or linked to a subscriber account (34), without the need for redefining the charging interval size, even where the types of credit units differ between or among the credit containers (36) used to authorize the charging interval. Among the various advantages, the disclosed techniques preserve the original charging interval size, which may be defined for reasons of signaling efficiency, while simultaneously allowing the reservation or consumption of credit units from credit containers (36) having insufficient remaining credit for authorization of the full charging interval.

A data volume exchange server includes a terminal IF unit configured to receive an exchange request for a contract data volume of an own country and a contract data volume of another country from terminals of subscribers having contract data volumes of telecommunication carriers of countries different from each other, a data volume exchange unit configured to perform matching of a pair in which another country that requests a contract data volume in one of the received exchange requests matches the own country that provides a contract data volume in another of the received exchange requests, and a server IF unit configured to instruct the communication servers of the telecommunication carriers in the countries to transfer a contract data volume of a matched subscriber of the own country as an exchanged data volume of a subscriber of the other country who is a matching partner.

Techniques and architectures enable a wireless communications network to allow for dynamic changes or on-the-fly selections of Fair Usage thresholds or other thresholds and to allow for the Fair Usage thresholds to be associated with individual subscribers of the wireless communications network. Subscriber groups of relatively small granularity or individual subscribers may be assigned a profile that sets forth actions to be applied to subscribers in response to the subscribers reaching particular thresholds of data usage.

Methods and apparatuses for data transmission. A method implemented at a first network function may comprise obtaining information related to network slice selection; and sending a reroute message to an access network node, wherein the reroute message including a container comprising at least one information element of the information related to network slicing selection.

To provide portable information processing devices which is capable of effectively presenting to a user an action that improves communication quality. The information presenting devices include: a communication quality acquisition means that acquires current communication quality and communication quality when a user takes an action; an action cost calculation means that calculates a cost of the action; an information presentation determining means that determines whether information about the action is to be displayed, based on the current communication quality, the communication quality when the action is taken, and the action cost; an action information generating means that determines the action based on the communication quality when the action is taken and the action cost when the information presentation determining means determines that information about the action is to be displayed; and an information presenting means that displays information about the action determined by the action information generating means.

The present disclosure relates to a 5.sup.th generation (5G) or pre-5G communication system for supporting a data transmission rate higher than that of a 4.sup.th generation (4G) communication system such as long-term evolution (LTE). According to various embodiments of the present disclosure, provided is a method for operating a network node such as an application function (AF) node in a wireless communication system, the method comprising the steps of: generating an AF request including information related to one or more data path latencies; and transmitting the information related to the one or more data path latencies to a session management function (SMF) node through a network exposure function (NEF) node.
