Abstract: A method and device are disclosed for radio bearer configuration to support User Equipment-to-Network (UE-to-Network) relaying from the perspective of a relay UE. In one embodiment, the relay UE establishes a PC5-Radio Resource Control (PC5-RRC) connection with a remote UE. The relay UE also transmits a RRC message to a network node to request a radio bearer configuration to support UE-to-Network relaying. Furthermore, the relay UE receives a RRC Reconfiguration message from the network node, wherein the RRC Reconfiguration message includes a Uu configuration for a Uu Radio Link Control (RLC) bearer associated with a signalling radio bearer (SRB). In addition, the relay UE receives a RRC Reconfiguration Complete message from the remote UE. The relay UE also transmits the RRC Reconfiguration Complete message on the Uu RLC bearer to the network node.

Abstract: Embodiments herein provide methods and systems for performing paging operation in 5G communication networks. The 5G core network can transmit a NAS message to a UE through a N3GPP access network, if the UE is reachable through the N3GPP access network. The NAS message can be sent by the 5G core network to the N3IWF. The N3IWF can send the NAS message to the UE, through the N3GPP access network. The UE can send a service request over 3GPP access, in response to the NAS message, to the 5G core network, through a 5G RAN. If the UE is not having access to the 5G RAN, then the UE can transmit a notification response message to the 5G core network, indicating the inability to transmit a service request. The transmission of NAS message through the N3IWF can lead to a significant saving of radio resources.

Abstract: A portable operation interface transmits an instruction to switch an operation mode to a stacker crane with an automatic operation mode and a manual operation mode via a first wireless communication route. A second receiver is connected to the stacker crane. For example, a portable operation interface including a portable remote controller wirelessly transmits to the second receiver a connection request to establish wireless communication in the second wireless communication route. The second wireless communication route is a different route from the first wireless communication route. The second receiver that receives the connection request determines whether a first condition that the stacker crane is in the manual operation mode is satisfied. The second receiver establishes wireless communication via the second wireless communication route with the portable operation interface when it is determined that the first condition is satisfied.
