Abstract: Methods and devices for maintaining a device-operated function. A first device initially operates as an active master with responsibility to execute the device-operated function by automatically performing one or more operation tasks according to certain operational parameters and gaining knowledge when performing the operation tasks. Meanwhile, a second device is acting as a passive standby device. When the first device cannot or should not operate as the active master anymore, e.g. due to low battery, the responsibility is transferred to the second device by transferring the operational parameters and the knowledge from the first device to the second device. Then, the second device operates as the active master with responsibility to execute the device-operated function according to the operational parameters and using the knowledge if required.

Abstract: As a result of ISR being enabled between a portable terminal device and a network which are capable of communicating by using the communication protocols of a plurality of wireless access technologies, the portable terminal device performs position registration processing between the plurality of wireless access technologies and the portable terminal device each time a fixed period of time elapses, and the portable terminal device is able to move between the plurality of wireless access technologies that have already been registered, without conducting new position registration processing. At this time, if there is a possibility of there being a difference in ISR states (activated or not activated) between the portable terminal device and the network, the portable terminal device ignores any instructions issued by the network for ISR to be enabled in the portable terminal device.

Abstract: A mobile device may be configured to determine, in a secure portion of the mobile device, whether a non-volatile indication (e.g., a fuse or non-volatile bit or flag) allocated to lender binding has been set. A mobile device processor may query a payment server associated with a lender of the mobile device to determine a next payment due date in response to determining that the non-volatile indication allocated to lender binding has been set, and select an operating mode for the mobile device based on a difference between the next payment due date and the current date.

Abstract: In a base station, in cases where a repeater device capable of performing radio communication with a communication terminal is in a control channel state to control entire communication, a site controller determines whether an internal temperature of the repeater device is equal to or higher than a preset first temperature threshold, and when the internal temperature of the repeater device is equal to or higher than the first temperature threshold, the site controller brings the repeater device from the control channel state to an unavailable state, after bringing another repeater device that is in an idle state where nothing is processed, to the control channel state. Thereafter, when the internal temperature of the repeater device becomes equal to or lower than a preset second temperature threshold and when a predetermined time is elapsed, the site controller brings the repeater device from the unavailable state to the idle state.

Abstract: Disclosed are a method for determining an access method of a mobile terminal, a storage medium, and a mobile terminal. A database comprising APN types and APN access identifiers is pre-stored in a mobile terminal, such that when a SIM card is inserted into the mobile terminal, the APN type and the APN access identifier corresponding thereto can be searched in the database according to information about the SIM card, thereby determining that the access method of an operator corresponding to the SIM is VoLTE or VoWiFi, distinguishing between VoLTE and VoWiFi, reducing the probability of access failure of the mobile terminal.

Abstract: Embodiments provide a location area management method, a control node, and user equipment (UE). The method is applied to a communications system including a control plane node, and the control plane node stores an upper-level area identity list of UE. The control plane node determines a lower-level area identity list of the UE based on the upper-level area identity list. The control plane node sends the lower-level area identity list to the UE. When the upper-level area identity list is allocated to the UE, the lower-level area identity list is allocated to the UE. The lower-level area identity list includes fewer areas than the upper-level area identity list, so that when the control plane node pages the UE, paging is performed in an area corresponding to the lower-level area identity list, thereby reducing signaling overheads of a network side device.

The method includes: determining channel bandwidth for an overlapped multiplexing system, and obtaining first bandwidth for an overlapped multiplexing signal, where the first bandwidth is processing bandwidth for the overlapped multiplexing signal; obtaining second bandwidth other than the first bandwidth in the channel bandwidth for the overlapped multiplexing system; and allocating the second bandwidth to a non-overlapped-multiplexing signal. The present invention resolves a prior-art technical problem that bandwidth occupied by an overlapped multiplexing system is relatively wide but actual processing bandwidth is relatively narrow, causing a waste of frequency spectrum resources.

Abstract: Technology for improving the selection, transfer, and storage of user equipment (UE) radio capability information is disclosed. A cellular mobile network can be configured to identify radio-access-technology (RAT)-specific radio-capability information relating to RATs supported in the cellular mobile network and communicate the RAT-specific radio-capability information to a UE. The UE can use the RAT-specific radio-capability information to help determine which UE radio capability information to send to the network. In addition, the UE may store a list of supported frequency bands and/or supported frequency-band combinations (LOSB) indexed by network operators and use the list to help determine which UE radio capability information to send to the network. A network node may also selectively remove unnecessary information from UE radio capability information before storing the UE radio capability information at a mobility management entity (MME).

Abstract: A system and a method for gaining access of devices based on a user's identity are disclosed. The method comprises a target device detecting a user worn accessory present in vicinity of a target device. Upon detection, the target device receives a user identity (UID) from the user worn accessory. The user worn accessory sends the UID based on verification of user's body data. Upon receiving the UID, the target device matches the UID with a list of known UID's to identify access rights assigned to the target device. Based on the identified access rights, the target device provides access to the user. Thus, the user may automatically get an access without handling the target device.
