    Abstract: A UE may receive active service time information from a network having business relationship with a home network of the UE. The network may be a short-lived network that is created on-demand and lasts for a period of time. The active service time information may indicate an expiration time of operation of the network or a service provided by the network. The UE may determine whether to select the network for access based on the active service time information and a network selection policy that includes a requirement related to network active service time. The UE may select the network, and access the network according to the active service time information.

    Abstract: A network device of a network may generate a network information container including information to be sent to a communication device. The network is a home network of the communication device that is served by a visited network. The network information container may be integrity protected and/or cipher protected. The network device may send, to the communication device via the visited network, a message including the network information container and a credential indicator indicating a type of credential used to protect the network information container. The type of credential may be a 3GPP or non-3GPP credential. The communication device may verify the network information container using one or more security parameters based on the type of credential, and obtain the information in the network information container when the verification succeeds, or discard the network information container when the verification fails.

    Abstract: This application provides an unmanned aerial vehicle authentication method and an apparatus. The method includes: sending, by a communications device after determining that a type of a terminal is a UAV, authentication information of the terminal to an authentication server, so that the authentication server can perform authentication on the terminal based on the authentication information of the terminal, and therefore, the authentication server completes authentication on the terminal. In addition, the unmanned aerial vehicle is allowed to fly only after authentication on the terminal succeeds. Therefore, flight security of the unmanned aerial vehicle can be improved.

    Abstract: According to embodiments, a UE receives from a base station of a network discovery information indicating one or more localized services that are accessible via the network. The UE obtains further detailed information about the one or more localized services. The UE determines to select the network based on the discovery information and the further detailed information and a preconfigured localized services and network selection policy. The UE connects to the network to access a localized service of the one or more localized services based on the discovery information, the further detailed information, and the preconfigured localized services and network selection policy.

    Abstract: A transmit chain (TX chain) of a user equipment (UE) transmits an uplink signal to a first wireless network associated with a first base station or a second wireless network associated with a second base station. The uplink signal includes information indicative of a first receive chain (RX chain) of the UE being synchronized to the first base station to receive first traffic from the first wireless network, and a second RX chain of the UE being synchronized to the second base station to receive second traffic from the second wireless network. The UE transmits uplink traffic for the first wireless network and the second wireless network to the second base station via the TX chain of the UE.
