Abstract: One aspect of this disclosure pertains to a gateway device for use in a telecommunications network, wherein the telecommunications network comprises a policy control system configured to provide at least one forwarding policy to the gateway device. The gateway device may be configured to forward traffic of at least one user device connected to the gateway device to the telecommunications network. The gateway device is further configured to receive the forwarding policy from the policy control system over the telecommunications network. The gateway device may receive the forwarding policy using a PDU session establishment procedure, a PDU session modification procedure and/or a registration procedure. The gateway device is configured to enforce the received forwarding policy when forwarding traffic of the at least one user device towards the telecommunications network.

Abstract: A method for allocating radio resources for a D2D communication between a first device and a second device is disclosed. The method includes identifying device(s) relevant for the D2D communication between the first and second devices, obtaining location information for the identified device(s), determining a value of a distance parameter for each of the identified devices using the location information obtained for the device and one or both of location information for the first device and location information for the second device, and allocating one or more radio resources for the D2D communication between the first device and the second device based on the determined value of the distance parameter.

Abstract: A pull-locking rotational action needle driver that comprises an ergonomically designed handle and an integrated locking system that permits left and right handed surgeons to perform the surgical suturing procedure in a less complicated and more secure way by allowing more control over the suturing needle and the area to be stitched, even when the suturing area is small, deep, and/or restricted.
