A User Equipment (UE) includes a controller. In a case of connection to a Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) service via a Stand-alone Non-Public Network (SNPN) by using 3GPP access, the controller does not operate in an SNPN access mode over non-3GPP access.

A method is described that includes determining that a user equipment (UE) device connected to a first cellular radio access network is in an area covered by both the first cellular radio access network and a second cellular radio access network. The first cellular radio access network is operated by a first service provider and the second cellular radio access network is operated by a second service provider. The method also includes identifying, at the UE device, that the second cellular radio access network is broadcasting an identifier associated with the first service provider. The method further includes handing over the UE device from the first cellular radio access network to the second cellular radio access network using the identifier associated with the first service provider.

Systems, methods and computer software are disclosed for providing for providing a 5G mobile network. In one embodiment a method is disclosed, comprising: providing a first base station having a first coverage area for a first Radio Access Network (RAN); providing a second base station having a second coverage area, the second coverage area within the first coverage area of the first base station for an overlay RAN; providing a 5G base station having a third coverage area, the third coverage area within the first coverage area and within the second coverage area and part of the overlay RAN; and determining, by a 5G Interworking Function (IWF) device, which subscribers are to be serviced by the overlay RAN and which subscribers are to be serviced by the first RAN.

A UE may receive input indicating an attempt to place an emergency call. The UE may communicate with a first cellular network to connect the emergency call. The UE may generate a first SIP header, the SIP header including first location data indicating a first location of the UE. The UE may transmit the SIP header including the first location data via a user plane function of the first cellular network. While the emergency call is ongoing, the UE may disconnect from the first cellular network and connect to a second cellular network. The UE may communicate with the second cellular network to continue the emergency call. The UE may then generate a second SIP header including second location data indicating a second location of the UE. The UE may transmit the second SIP header including the second location data via the user plane function of the first cellular network.

There are provided measures for improvements in small cell mobility with dual/multi connectivity. Such measures exemplarily comprise terminating at least one control plane signaling connection from said terminal for said at least first network access entity and second network access entity, maintaining a terminal related access stratum context commonly for radio accesses of said terminal to said at least first network access entity and second network access entity, and initiating switching of said radio access of said terminal from said first network access entity to said second network access entity for user plane data transfer with said control plane signaling connection for said second network access entity being applied unchanged, thereby providing, in a control plane for a terminal, connection management for at least a first network access entity and a second network access entity, wherein said at least first network access entity and second network access entity providing radio access for user plane data transfer for said terminal, wherein said terminal being capable of having radio access to said at least first network access entity and second network access entity for user plane data transfer.

The disclosure relates to a 5th generation (5G) or 6th-generation (6G) communication system for supporting a higher data transmission rate. An application function (AF) entity in a wireless communication system is provided. The AF entity includes a transceiver and at least one processor. The at least one processor may be configured to transmit, to a network entity, traffic schedule information including at least one of a periodicity range, and a burst arrival time (BAT) range, receive, from the network entity, information about at least one of a first periodicity and a first BAT, and adjust scheduling of an application based on the information about at least one of the first periodicity and the first BAT, wherein the information about at least one of the first periodicity and the first BAT is determined based on at least one of the periodicity range and the BAT range.

The disclosure provides data transmission methods and apparatuses. One example method includes when the terminal device needs to perform the cross-network movement, the terminal device sends a message to a network element of a network accessed by the terminal device, to notify that the terminal device is to perform the cross-network movement from a source network to a target network. Therefore, during the movement of the terminal device, a network side pauses transmission of user plane data of the terminal device, and buffers data that is not sent before the terminal device performs the cross-network movement. After accessing the target network, the network side sends the buffered data to the terminal device.

An information transmission method and an apparatus are provided. The method includes: a first network device sends a first type of feedback information to a second network device, wherein the first type includes one or more of the following: a model evaluation indicator, operation indication information, and a network performance indicator. The first network device receives the feedback information from the second network device. The first network device determines the performance of the model based on the feedback information. According to this application, the first network device can configure a type of the feedback information according to a requirement of the first network device and a capability of the second network device, thereby improving flexibility of feedback.
