    摘要: A method performed by a first radio network node for handling communication in a wireless communications network providing, is provided. The wireless communications network comprises the first radio network node (131) and a second radio network node (132) relaying data packets between a central network node (12) and a UE (10). The first radio network node is an intermediate network node between the second radio network node and the central network node. The first radio network node detects (701) congestion over a link towards the second radio network node. Upon detection of the congestion the first radio network node adds a marking in a header in a data packet and transmits (702) the data packet towards the second radio network node.

    摘要: In order to solve the problem in which a flight vehicle flies only in locations having poor communication quality and retained data cannot necessarily reach the ground, this device communicates with a flight vehicle, wherein the device is provided with: a storage means that associates and stores first position information and a first communication rate at which it is possible to communicate at the position of the first position information; an extraction means that, upon receiving information that corresponds to a prescribed second communication rate at which the flight vehicle transmits data, extracts the first position information corresponding to the first communication rate equal to or greater than the second communication rate from the storage means; and an output means that outputs the first position information extracted by the extraction means to the flight vehicle, or outputs the inputted first position information to an instrument that notifies the flight vehicle.

    摘要: Exemplary embodiments include methods for establishing a user-requested protocol data unit (PDU) session in a user's visited public land mobile network (VPLMN), by a session management function (V-SMF) in the VPLMN. Such methods include receiving, from an access and mobility management function (AMF) in the VPLMN, a PDUSession_CreateSMContext Request to establish the PDU session to be routed through the user's home PLMN (HPLMN). The PDUSession_CreateSMContext Request identifies an SMF (H-SMF) in the user's HPLMN. Such methods include sending, to the identified H-SMF, a PDUSession_Create Request to create the PDU session. The PDUSession_Create Request includes an identifier of a session management (SM) context, in the V-SMF, that is associated with the PDU session. Such methods include receiving, from the H-SMF, a PDUSession_Update Request that includes an identifier of an SM context, in the H-SMF, that is associated with the PDU session. Embodiments also include complementary methods performed by the H-SMF.

    摘要: Systems and methods are disclosed for estimating one or more channel properties of a downlink from a cellular communications network based on quasi co-located antenna ports with respect to the one or more channel properties. In one embodiment, a user equipment receives a downlink subframe including a downlink control channel from the cellular communications network. The user equipment estimates one or more large-scale channel properties for an antenna port of interest in the downlink control channel based on a subset of reference signals that correspond to antenna ports in the cellular communications network that are quasi co-located with the antenna port of interest with respect to the one or more large-scale channel properties. As a result of using the quasi co-located antenna ports, estimation of the one or more large-scale channel properties is substantially improved.

    摘要: Systems and methods of providing location techniques for a NB UE are described. The UE transmits, to a location server, a capability message that indicates position capabilities of the UE to support different positioning methods and common information related to the position methods, including that the UE is a NB UE. The UE receives a request for location information that includes a request for positioning measurements for a particular positioning method, a NB message size limit that indicates a limit on an amount of location information to return, and a NB response time to provide the positioning measurements. At least one of the response time or message size limit is different than for the NB UE than for non-NB UEs. The UE enters an idle state, performs the measurements, and transmits at expiry of or before the NB response time, a message containing the measurements.

    摘要: Disclosed here is a method to determine a user intent when a user device initiates an interactive voice response (IVR) call with a wireless telecommunication network. A processor can detect the IVR call initiated with the network and determine whether the user device is a member of the network. Upon determining that the user device is a member of the network, the processor can obtain user history including interaction history between the user and the network. Based on the user history, the processor can predict the user intent when the user initiates the IVR call. The processor can detect whether user device is a 5G capable device. Upon the determining that the device is 5G capable and based on the predicted user intent, the processor can suggest to the user an application configured to execute on the user device and configured to address the predicted user intent.
