  • Patent number: 11343711
    Abstract: A notification is made of information in one PDU session establishment procedure to a terminal apparatus, the information being associated with information for identifying one NW slice that is a target of congestion control and the information for identifying another NW slice associated, to prevent a PDU session establishment procedure using information for identifying multiple NW slices at a time. As a method for interpreting the information for identifying the other NW slice associated, two implementation schemes are defined that use explicit notifications from a network and rules configured for the terminal apparatus. In a case that NW slice based congestion control is applied, information for identifying the NW slice to which establishment of a PDU session is allowed is notified as an exception.

  • Patent number: 11343403
    Abstract: An image forming apparatus shared by users in multiple groups includes a communication unit, a memory, a user authorizer, an operation unit, a display, an image former, and a controller. When the operation unit accepts a command for forming an image from a first user based on spooled image data of the first user stored in a spool area in the memory after the user authorizer has authorized the first user, the controller causes the display to display, in addition to the spooled image data of the first user, spooled image data received by the communication unit, from other users belonging to the same group as the first user. When the operation unit accepts selection and a print command of the spooled image data, the controller causes the image former to collectively form images based on the selected spooled image data.
