摘要： In a wireless communication network, a Gateway Control Plane (GW-C) receives a session request for a User Equipment (UE) from an Access Point (AP) that serves the UE. The GW-C transfers a DNS request having an AP ID and network data. A Domain Name System (DNS) translates the AP ID and the network data into an AGW-U ID and an EGW-U ID for co-located GW-Us. The GW-C receives a DNS response and transfers GW control signals using the AGW-U ID and the EGW-U ID. The co-located AGW-U and EGW-U serve the UE responsive to the control signals. In some examples, the selected AGW-U and EGW-U are co-located at the network edge near the AP.

摘要： Systems and methods discussed herein are directed to enabling users to remain in a first network billing system but access a second network for wireless communication network services. This occurs via an OTA update of a user's UE SIM, where the update changes the primary public land mobile network (PLMN) from the first network to the second network. Additionally, the network capabilities for the UE are cross-provisioned from the first network to the second network, where the first network provides a service or rate plan to the second network.

摘要： Disclosed herein is a first wireless communication node comprising a first communication module that includes a first baseband unit configured to handle baseband processing for the first communication module, a first RF unit configured to define a frequency range of radio signals for the first communication module, and a first antenna unit configured to generate a first extremely-narrow beam that facilitates exchange of radio signals with at least one other wireless communication node. The first wireless communication node may also comprise a second communication module that includes a second baseband unit configured to handle baseband processing for the second communication module, a second RF unit configured to define a frequency range of radio signals for the second communication module, and a second antenna unit configured to generate a second extremely-narrow beam that facilitates exchange of radio signals with at least one other wireless communication node.

摘要： Disclosed is a wireless connection method carried out by a network device in a mesh basic service set (MBSS) including N mesh gates. The method includes: when the network device is not one of the N mesh gates and not connected with any of them, allowing the network device to connect with a gate candidate peer in the MBSS and forbidding the network device to connect with a non-gate candidate peer in the MBSS, wherein the gate candidate peer announces that it is or connects with one of the N mesh gates while the non-gate candidate peer does not announce the same thing; and when the network device is one of the N mesh gates or connected with any of them, allowing the network device to connect with any of the gate candidate peer and the non-gate candidate peer.

摘要： A technique is disclosed, according to which a mobile node, having a plurality of interfaces and performing communication according to flow information when an operator is performing communication based on the flow information as defined by a policy, can select an interface suitable for the flow and can perform communication. According to this technique, a mobile node (MN 10) having a plurality of interfaces has a list to indicate domain limited flows to be transmitted only within a specific network (a trusted network), and a list to indicate the trusted networks. When a certain interface performs handover, and in case there is a domain limited flow that uses the interface, it is decided whether the network of handover destination is a trusted network or not, and in case the network of the handover destination is not a trusted network, it is decided whether it is possible or not to transmit and receive the domain limited flow via another interface that is connected to the trusted network.

摘要： A base station and a master communication apparatus are provided. The master communication apparatus belongs to a mobile communication system. The mobile communication system includes a plurality of data transmission apparatuses. Each of the data transmission apparatuses has a transmission path with a user equipment individually. Each transmission path has a priority degree. The master communication apparatus selects one of the transmission paths as the primary path. For each of a plurality of QoS degrees, the master communication apparatus selects a set of the transmission paths as at least one duplication path of the QoS degree according to the priority degrees and/or a plurality of communication service statuses. The master communication apparatus configures a MAC logic channel parameter and configures at least one PDCP parameter. The master communication apparatus transmits the MAC logic channel parameter and the at least one PDCP parameter to the user equipment.
