    摘要: A mobile communications network communicating data to/from communications devices, the network including base stations operable to provide a wireless access interface to communications devices; communications devices operable to communicate packets with the base stations via the wireless access interface; packet gateways operable to transmit user data packets received via the base stations from/to the communications devices; and mobility managers operable to send/receive signalling packets for controlling user data communications between communications devices and packet gateways. The mobility managers can, upon receiving a signalling packet from a communications device and including user data intended for a destination, detect the packet is not associated with any established signalling connection between the mobility managers and the communication device. The mobility managers can, responsive to the detection, transmit the user data in the signalling packet to the destination. Accordingly a short message may be sent in a reduced context or context-less manner.

    摘要: The present disclosure relates to user plane link establishment methods. One example method includes sending, by a first base station, an obtaining request associated with user equipment to a second base station, receiving, by the first base station, a response message corresponding to the obtaining request, where the response message includes a peer address associated with the user equipment, and establishing, by the first base station and based on the peer address, a user plane link corresponding to the user equipment.

    摘要: Embodiments are directed towards employing parallel satellite and wire transmissions to facilitate 5G communications. A network origination system receives, via 5G communication, a message from an origination device for distribution to a destination device. The network origination system determines a priority of the message and selects a transmission mechanism—wire transmission, satellite transmission, or parallel transmission—in which to transmit the message to the network destination system based on the priority. The network origination system transmits the message to a network destination system via the selected transmission mechanism. The network destination system forwards the message to the destination device and determines if the message is tagged for the parallel transmission. If the message is tagged for parallel transmission, the network destination system determines if the message is received via wire transmission and satellite transmission within a time window associated with a transmission time obtained from the message.

    摘要: This application provides a terminal policy sending method, an apparatus, and a terminal policy sending system, to help determine an execution result of a first terminal policy. The method performed by a visited policy control function network element includes: receiving a first message from a home policy control function network element, where the first message includes a first terminal policy; sending the first terminal policy and a first procedure transaction identity (PTI) to a mobility management network element; receiving an execution result of the first terminal policy and the first PTI from the mobility management network element; determining, based on the first PTI, whether the execution result is the execution result of the first terminal policy; and sending a second message to the home policy control function network element if the execution result is the execution result of the first terminal policy, where the second message includes the execution result.

    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.
