Utilizing an advertisement protocol to transmit service query messages, a mobile device may receive service query responses from a network that identify the services available prior to establishing network capability. In other words, the messaging is prior to the exchange of any authentication parameters between the device and the network as well prior to the establishment of a recognized session between the device and the network.

Abstract: The present application relates to the field of wireless communications. Disclosed are a resource selection method and device, a terminal, and a medium. The method comprises: determining a resource monitoring window, wherein the resource monitoring window comprises some of time slots before a time slot m where a selected resource is located; and when the monitoring result of the resource monitoring window is that a resource conflict occurs between the selected resource and a reserved resource of a second terminal, performing resource reselection for the selected resource. In the present application, the determined resource monitoring window only comprises some of the time slots before the time slot m where the selected resource is located, instead of all the time slots, and therefore, in a monitoring process of resource reselection, the time required for monitoring is reduced, and the power consumption of a first terminal is reduced.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to a method for effectuating data traffic routing influence for a relocated application service in a core network of a communication system. In an embodiment, the core network may include a communication session control node and an application service node. The method may include transmitting, by the communication session control node, a message to the application service node for notifying a relocation triggering event. The relocation triggering event triggers the application service node to relocate an application service provided to a user equipment in a pre-established communication session from a previous application hosting server to a new application hosting server outside of the mobile core network. The method may further include receiving, by the communication session control node, a relocation information from the application service node such that the communication session control node may reconfigure and modify the data traffic routing for the relocated application service.

Abstract: A base station transmits, to a wireless device via a control resource set (CORESET) of a CORESET group of CORESET groups, a downlink control information (DCI) scheduling transmission of an uplink signal, wherein each of the CORESET groups corresponds to a respective sounding reference signal (SRS) resource set of SRS resource sets. The base station determines an SRS resource set, from the SRS resource sets, corresponding to the CORESET group comprising the CORESET. The base station receives the uplink signal based on an SRS resource in the SRS resource set.

Abstract: In 802.11ax networks with access points, a trigger frame offers scheduled and random resource units to nodes for data uplink communication to the access points. To make more effective the usage of the network, the access point may design the trigger frame to force the nodes to send some categories of data. Resource units may be defined in trigger frames to be dedicated to small packets or to some access category data. Adjusting the time length of the resource units helps restricting the type of data that can be conveyed by the resource units. Also, using various frequency widths for resource units in the same trigger frame helps reducing padding in the resource units when various traffic types coexist.

Abstract: A wireless device comprising switches to a first downlink bandwidth part (BWP) as an active BWP during a discontinuous reception (DRX) active time. The wireless device, in response to switching to the first downlink BWP, starts a BWP inactivity timer of the first downlink BWP.

The wireless device receives a DCI via a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) of the second downlink BWP.
