    摘要: This disclosure provides methods, devices and systems for establishing and maintaining connectivity between access points (APs) that provide multiple BSSID sets and wireless stations (STAs) that do not support enhanced multiple BSSID advertisement (EMA). In some implementations, a wireless communication device may transmit a burst of beacon frames each carrying a respective partial list of nontransmitted BSSID profiles for a multiple BSSID set. In such implementations, the bursts of beacon frames may be transmitted periodically such that the start of each burst occurs one beacon interval after the start of a prior burst. In some other implementations, a wireless communication device may broadcast multiple beacon frames each carrying a full set of nontransmitted BSSID profiles associated with a respective multiple BSSID set. In such implementations, each beacon frame may be periodically broadcast every beacon interval.

    摘要: A network controller provides proactive notification of a wireless client device's address rotation to layer 2 (L2) and/or layer 3 (L3) devices. Traditional methods of device address discovery rely on broadcasting of address queries across a plurality of links until a path to a device having the queried address responds. As device address changes become more frequent in an effort to improve user privacy, traditional methods of address discovery impose a large burden on networks, reducing their performance and efficiency. By proactively propagating address changes to upstream devices, the need for broadcast oriented address discovery techniques is reduced, resulting in improved network performance.

    摘要: A method for call addition control in a User Agent (UA) or a call service system is provided. The UA or the call service system receives or initiates a call addition request comprising information of a called party during a call. The UA or the call service system determines whether the called party is already present in the call. The UA or the call service system blocks the call addition request in response to the called party being already present in the call.

    摘要: A telecommunication network provides telecommunication service to a user equipment (UE) and a communication device that is connected to the telecommunication network via a private branch exchange. Both the UE and the communication device utilizing a Mobile Station International Subscriber Directory Number (MSISDN) for the telecommunication service, and the telecommunication network stores a profile associating both the UE and the communication device with the MSISDN. Additionally, the telecommunication network enables communication between the communication device and a communication partner device and notifies the UE of the communication.

    摘要: A data transfer method includes that a first device displays a first interface. The first interface includes image information of a first file. When a distance between a Near-Field Communication (NFC) chip of the first device and an electronic tag of a second device is less than a preset threshold, the first device obtains a BLUETOOTH address of the second device. The electronic tag includes device information of the second device, and the device information includes the BLUETOOTH address or a tag identifier (ID) used to obtain the BLUETOOTH address. The first device exchanges a WI-FI connection parameter with the second device through a BLUETOOTH connection corresponding to the BLUETOOTH address. The first device establishes a WI-FI connection to the second device. After the WI-FI connection is established, the first device automatically transfers the first file to the second device through the WI-FI connection.

    摘要: A method performed in a network node for identifying UEs which are non-compliant with modified CRS operation. The network node enables CRS operation according to a first configuration for a first period. The network node analyzes Information Elements (IE) in RRC Connection Re-establishment Request messages received from UEs during the first period. The network node generates a first set containing identities of UEs whose values in reestablishmentCause IE in the RRC Connection Re-establishment Request messages received during the first period are “otherFailure”. When the first period is finished, the network node enables CRS operation according a second configuration different from the first configuration for a second period. The network node analyzes IE in RRC Reestablishment Request messages received from UEs during the second period. The network node generates a set containing identities of non-compliant UEs based on the first set and analyzing IE in the RRC Reestablishment Request messages received during the second period.
