Abstract: User equipment appends a header to a non-access stratum (NAS) message to form an encapsulated NAS message. The header is formed according to a wireline access network protocol. The user equipment transmits the encapsulated NAS message over a wireline connection between the user equipment and an interworking function of a core network. The interworking function receives the encapsulated NAS message over the wired connection and forwards the NAS message to a core network entity selected based on addressing information included in the header. A point-to-point control plane session can be established between the user equipment and the interworking function in response to a session request transmitted by the user equipment. The point-to-point control plane session can be used to convey encapsulated NAS messages, which can be used to request establishment of an NAS session for a user plane connection to the core network.

Abstract: Disclosed in the present application are a method for enabling a network to fall back, a terminal device and an access network device. The method comprises: a terminal device receives indication information sent by an access network, the indication information being used for indicating whether a first network supports a specific service to be executed by the terminal device; and if the indication information indicates that the first network does not support the specific service, the terminal device initiates the specific service in a second network. When the terminal device cannot initiate a specific service in a current network, the specific service can be initiated in another network based on an instruction of an access network, so that a complex signaling interaction between the terminal device and a core network is avoided, and a delay of a network fallback process is reduced.

The URA is a sub-area of the Reporting Area, RA and is defined by a set of cells, gNBs or traffic area identifiers, TAIs, or a combination of them. The UE sends a notification to the AMF when it crosses the border of URA. The AMF determines the URA by retrieving or determining a RA for the UE, retrieving a PRA of the UE, and determining the URA in dependence on the RA and PRA.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a radio base station serving a user equipment in a first radio cell of a mobile communication system. The radio base station comprises processing circuitry which determines that a neighbor radio base station does not provide a beamformed reference signal to the user equipment. The neighbor radio base station controls the transmission in its neighbor radio cell of an omni-directional reference signal and the beamformed reference signal. A transmitter transmits a reference signal request to the neighbor radio base station. The reference signal request requests the neighbor radio base station to provide the beamformed reference signal to the user equipment. A receiver receives from the neighbor radio base station a reference signal request response, including information on the transmission of the requested beamformed reference signal. The transmitter transmits a notification to the user equipment, comprising information on the requested beamformed reference signal.

Abstract: A mechanism for sharing electronic subscriber identity module (eSIM) credentials between two mobile communication devices is described. This includes establishing, by a source user equipment (UE) comprising a first of the mobile communication devices, a data connection with a subscription manager data preparation (SMDP+) server associated with eSIM credentials stored at the source UE. The source UE notifies the SMDP+ server of an intent to transfer the eSIM credentials. The source UE receives metadata describing an activation code containing identification data for the eSIM credentials. The source UE forwards the activation code to a destination UE comprising a second of the mobile communication devices. The activation code is forwarded to support a download of the eSIM credentials to the destination UE from the SMDP+ server.
