Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, receiving at an entitlement server an authentication request from a mobile device operating on a mobility network including a base station, identifying authorized network resources for the mobile device, and communicating to the mobile device a resource authorization message which causes the mobile device to update a device capabilities profile of the mobile device according to the authorized network resources for the mobile device, the resource authorization message further causing the mobile device to communicate an updated device capabilities profile to the base station for subsequent radio communication between the mobile device and the base station. Other embodiments are disclosed.

A method by which a terminal transmits data in an unlicensed band, and an apparatus using the method are provided. The method comprises: transmitting data to a base station through a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) in the unlicensed band; and receiving, from the base station, acknowledgement/negative acknowledgement (ACK/NACK) information about the data in the unlicensed band, wherein the terminal receives, from the base station, timeline information notifying of a time relationship between the PUSCH transmission time point and the ACK/NACK information reception time point.

A base station includes a receiving unit that receives terminal capability from a terminal before a security procedure, and a control unit that eliminates the terminal capability acquired before the security procedure in response to a release of a terminal context related to the terminal.

A terminal includes a receiving unit configured to receive, from a base station, a message for requesting a report of a terminal capability, a control unit configured to include, into a message for reporting the terminal capability, a terminal capability related to measurement using a reference signal for obtaining information about a channel state, for each band or for each band combination, based on the message for requesting the report of the terminal capability, and a transmitting unit configured to transmit the message for reporting the terminal capability to the base station, wherein a range of a target time domain is specified in the terminal capability related to the measurement.

Network Slice Selection Assistance information (NSSA1) may be signaled between U ser Equipment (UE) and a network. NSSA1 sent from the network to the UE may include, for example. Operating Frequency Band (OFB) for each Single NSSAI(S-NSSA1) in the NSSAI, as well as a Radio Access Technology (RAT) Frequency Selection Priority (RFSP) index, which the network configures as a part of UE access and mobility; subscription, during a UE registration procedure. RAT restrictions may be enhanced to indicate to the UE that certain slices are not accessible via certain RATs. A UE may be provided by the network with an alternative NSSAI and corresponding OFBs for each S-NSSAI thereby indicating to the UE that these S-NSSAI would have been allowed had they been requested. A UE may be able to choose an alternative Allowed NSSAI and send a registration update request to the network.

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to methods, devices, and medium for communication. According to embodiments of the present disclosure, the terminal device transmits the assistant information to the network device. The assistant information indicates preferences of the terminal device. The network device determines configuration information based on the assistant information and transmits the configuration information to the terminal device. In this way, the configuration is suitable to the terminal device.

A data transmission method is provided. Measurement information associated with an inter-frequency signal measurement is received. The measurement information is configured to indicate at least one measurement window. First scheduling information associated with a first semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) resource is received. The first scheduling information is configured to indicate the first SPS PDSCH resource configured with a first priority. On the basis of the measurement information and the first scheduling information, it is determined that the first SPS PDSCH resource overlaps the measurement window in the time domain. In response to determining that the first SPS PDSCH resource overlaps the measurement window in the time domain, downlink communication with a serving cell is kept during at least the window of the first SPS PDSCH resource.

Embodiments of the present application provide methods for checking UE capability match, an AMF, a base station, and a storage medium. The method includes: determining to send a UE capability match request to a base station during a registration procedure initiated by the UE; sending a request for setting up a UE's access stratum (AS) security context to the base station, and sending the UE capability match request to the base station after it is determined that the base station completes setup of the AS security context; receiving a UE capability match acknowledgement returned from the base station. By the method according to the embodiment of the application, the problem that the base station does not respond to the UE capability match process requested by the AMF, which results in that the AMF cannot issue an indication of IMS voice over PS session to the UE during the registration process, can be avoided, and thus the UE can normally obtain IMS voice service.
