摘要： Methods and systems for providing optimized communications links between network nodes. A signaling channel may be created between a first network node and a second network node via one of a plurality of available network interfaces between the first network node and the second network node, and a data channel between the first network node and the second network node may be created via a different one of the plurality of available network interfaces. Each of the data channel and the signaling channel may be configured, which may include applying different security parameters and different communications parameters, to each of the signaling channel and the data channel. The data channel and the signaling channel may be managed, which may include changing the data channel from network interface to another based on predefined changing criteria and the performance related parameter of one or both of the network interfaces.

摘要： Systems and methods for locating a cellular phone are provided. More particularly, systems and methods for providing the location of a requested user's cellular phone from a requesting user's device (e.g., a second cellular phone) based on access rights defined by the requested user. Location descriptions may be provided at a multitude of levels. For example, if a cellular phone, or an identity associated to (e.g., logged into) a cellular phone, has been given access rights to a cell phone's exact location for an indefinite amount of time, that cell phone can receive, on command, the exact location of the approved cell phone. Other levels of location information that can be granted include, for example, proximities, states, and countries.

摘要： Methods by which User Plane (UP) management information is exchanged between an Application Function (AF) supporting one or more applications and a Slice Management Function (SMF) configured to manage traffic flows in a given slice of the network. The exchange of UP management information may be initiated from either the AF or the SMF. In the case of AF-initiated information exchange, the UP management information provided by the AF may comprise traffic requirements of applications supported by the AF. In the case of SMF-initiated information exchange, the UP management information provided by the SM may comprise operator policy information or events, and the AF may respond with information of traffic requirements of applications supported by the AF.

摘要： A method and system for effecting changes on a mobile device. The method includes determining a physical location of a point of interest. The method includes automatically generating a geofence proximate to the point of interest based on the determined physical location. The method includes detecting when the mobile device enters the geofence. The method includes tracking a duration of time spent within the geofence by the mobile device. The method also includes effecting a change on the mobile device based on the duration of time spent within the geofence by the mobile device.

摘要： A method for communicating location information to a device includes receiving, at a computer system that implements a social networking service, location information that represents a geographic location of a device associated with a first user; associating, by the computer system, the received location information with a profile associated with the first user; and sending, from the computer system to a device associated with a second user, a message that is generated based at least in part on the location information.

摘要： This application provides a signaling transmission interface compatibility method and apparatus. The method includes: A first network element obtains capability information of an access and mobility management function network element, where the capability information is used to indicate that the access and mobility management function network element has a capability of performing signaling transmission with a radio access network through a target interface function network element. The first network element selects the target interlace function network element based on the capability information, where the target interface function network element is used for signaling transmission between the access and mobility management function network element and the radio access network. Therefore, according to the technical solutions provided in this application, the first network element obtains the capability information of the access and mobility management function network element, and selects the corresponding target interlace function network element based on the capability information.

摘要： Embodiments of the present disclosure disclose a handover method and an apparatus, so as to reduce a handover delay in a process of handing over an MN from a previous access network to a new access network. The method includes: sending, by the MN, first instruction information to a NAR by using a PAR, where the first instruction information is used to instruct the NAR to construct a care-of test initialization message and send the care-of test initialization message to a CN, and the care-of test initialization message includes an NCoA of the MN and is used to request a care-of keygen token from the CN based on the NCoA; handing over the MN from the PAR to the NAR; receiving, by the MN, the care-of keygen token sent by the NAR from the CN; and binding the MN with the CN based on the care-of keygen token.

摘要： A computer device may include a processor configured to detect a condition to page a user equipment (UE) device, retrieve mobility category information associated with the UE device from a mobility database, and use the retrieved mobility category information to determine a paging policy. The computer device may be further configured to select a number of base station cells to which the computer device is to send a paging message based on the determined paging policy and page the UE device using the selected number of base station cells.
