Abstract: A method by which a user equipment (UE) performing communication controls a virtual UE, includes transmitting, to a base station (BS), at least one of information on the UE or information on a service provided by the UE, wherein the BS determines whether the virtual UE is registered or removed, based on the at least one of the information on the UE or the information on the service provided by the UE; receiving, from the BS, a connection reconfiguration command message, wherein the connection reconfiguration command message includes information on a determination of the BS of whether the virtual UE is registered or removed; and registering or removing the virtual UE based on the information on the determination of the BS included in the connection reconfiguration command message.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) may be in coverage of a local private non-Third Generation Partnership Project (non-3GPP) wireless network (e.g. a Wi-Fi network) of an enterprise. This non-3GPP wireless network may be part of a private communication system of the enterprise which further includes a local private 3GPP network (e.g. a Long-Term Evolution or “LTE” based network). When the non-3GPP wireless network advertises “single-authentication” support, the UE may complete authentication for non-3GPP access, obtain a Master Session Key (MSK) from the authentication, and generate an Access Security Management Entity (ASME) key (KASME) based on the MSK. In further implementations, the UE may obtain a Globally Unique Temporary Identifier (GUTI) from the non-3GPP wireless network. Subsequently, the UE may perform an attach procedure with the local private 3GPP network without performing an authentication procedure, presenting the GUTI that it obtained from the non-3GPP wireless network for 3GPP access.

Abstract: Techniques for generating a prediction for a location of a mobile device includes a network controller obtaining signal strength information and angle-of-arrival information for mobile devices from a plurality of access points disposed at a location that includes two or more zones. The network controller extracts features from the obtained information.

The network controller uses the software model to generate a prediction indicating that a first mobile device is in one of the two or more zones, and performs an action at the location based on the prediction.
