Abstract: A first access and mobility management function (AMF) in a network receives, from user equipment (UE), a registration request listing a first network slice and a second network slice. Upon determining that the first AMF supports the first, but not the second, network slice, the first AMF causes selection of (i) the first AMF as a session and mobility management (SM)-AMF to perform mobility management, and first session management signaling for the first network slice; and (ii) a second AMF as a session management only (SO)-AMF to perform only second session management signaling for the second network slice. The first AMF, acting as SM-AMF, performs the first session management signaling for a first data session on the first network slice, while the second AMF, acting as SO-AMF, performs only the second session management signaling for a second data session on the second network slice.

Abstract: Technology neutral coexistence and high priority traffic is disclosed for use in unlicensed frequency bands. Synchronization boundaries are defined in which synchronous contention windows across all radio access technologies attempting access to a shared communication channel occur periodically. Between the synchronous contention windows, the nodes may return to asynchronous access procedures. Such synchronous access procedures may be applicable to certain power classes or deployment type nodes. Additionally, various priority schemes for the synchronous contention window may be used to ensure protection of higher priority nodes or traffic, such as ultra-reliable low latency communication (URLLC) traffic. According to certain aspects, the deployment of such synchronous access methodology may be triggered via signaling from initiating devices.

The UE prunes the TOAs such that the cells represented in the TDOA vector are sufficiently geographically dispersed to determine the position of the UE at least in 2D.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for enhancing communications mobility in an enterprise using distributed communication controllers. The distributed communication controllers provide overlapping communication ranges that are capable of passing off call responsibilities as a user and user device navigates an enterprise ensuring full call coverage throughout the enterprise. As the user device moves outside of the range of a first distributed communication controller into the range of a second distributed communication controller while on a call, the system of distributed communication controllers transfer the call responsibilities provided by the first distributed communication controller to the second distributed communication controller, seamlessly, allowing the user to continue the call without interruption.
