  • Patent number: 11178640
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to methods and devices for broadcast signaling transmission. In example embodiments, the network device transmits first broadcast signaling in a first time duration of a first transmission window within a first transmission period. The network device then communicates with a terminal device in a broadcasting gap between the first time duration and a second time duration of the first transmission window subsequent to the first time duration. Further, the network device transmits the first broadcast signaling in the second time duration. In this way, the interruptions caused by the long-time period reserved for the broadcast signaling transmission may be reduced.

  • Patent number: 11172043
    Abstract: A mapping service in the mobile core network located after a packet data network gateway examines content requests from user equipment across a first PDN connection to determine if content associated with the content request is cached at an edge server outside of the packet data network. If the content from the packet data network is cached at the edge server, the mapping service redirects the user equipment to request the content from the edge server across a second PDN connection. By using a mapping service located after the packet data network gateway, the content requests may have already passed restrictions such as parental controls.
