  • Publication number: 20230422132
    Abstract: In some examples, a user equipment (UE) obtains a connectivity in a first cell, the connectivity comprising a first type of connection that provides access to services in a local data network. The UE camps on a second cell, determines if the connectivity is not supported in the second cell based on broadcast information from the second cell, the broadcast information comprising information of the second cell, and in response to determining that the connectivity is not supported in the second cell, disconnect the connectivity, wherein the disconnecting comprises sending a Non Access Stratum (NAS) message via the second cell.

  • Patent number: 11696121
    Abstract: Briefly, in accordance with one or more embodiments, an apparatus of a user equipment (UE), comprises one or more baseband processors to derive a dynamic scrambling key, and a memory to store the dynamic scrambling key and a temporary UE identifier (temporary UE ID) assigned to the UE. The one or more baseband processors monitor a paging request for a scrambled UE identifier (UE ID) to determine if the paging request is intended for the UE by unscrambling the scrambled UE ID with the dynamic scrambling key to produce the temporary UE ID. The paging request is intended for the UE if the temporary UE ID produced by unscrambling the scrambled UE ID matches the temporary UE ID stored in the memory. A new dynamic scrambling key may be derived each time the UE returns to a radio resource control idle (RRC_IDLE) state.

  • Publication number: 20220353631
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a wireless communication method, a terminal device, and a network device. The network device can accurately obtain a service-permitted area and a service-prohibited area for the terminal device based on geo-fencing area information, so that the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3 GPP) network can better serve management and control of the terminal device. The wireless communication method includes: receiving, by a terminal mobility management function entity in a core network, indication first information indicating moving of a terminal device into or out of a first area; and determining, by the terminal management function entity, a service processing for the terminal device based on the indication information.

  • Patent number: 11160006
    Abstract: A user equipment (UE) can include processing circuitry configured to decode system information including access barring parameters for one or more access categories for accessing a cell of a next generation Node-B (gNB). A network access attempt is detected by a control plane layer of the UE that is higher than a Radio Resource Control (RRC) layer. The processing circuitry map s, using a Non-Access Stratum (NAS) layer of the control plane, the network access attempt to at least one access category of a plurality of available access categories based on mapping rules. The processing circuitry performs an access barring check procedure for the mapped at least one access category based on the access barring parameters. Upon determining that access to the cell is not barred, a NAS message is encoded for transmission to an Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF), e.g. an Attach Request message to perform an attach procedure.
