Abstract: Described herein is a system for automatically detecting and assigning action items in a real-time conversation and determining whether such action items have been completed. The system detects, during a meeting, a plurality of action items and an utterance that corresponds to a completed action item. Responsive to detecting the utterance, the system generates a similarity score with respect to a first action item of the plurality of action items. The system compares the similarity score to a first threshold. Responsive to determining that the similarity score does not exceed the first threshold, the system generates a second similarity score with respect to a second action item of the plurality of action items. The system compares the second similarity score to a second threshold, which exceeds the first threshold. Responsive to determining that the second similarity score exceeds the second threshold, the system marks the second action item as completed.

Abstract: Systems, devices and methods for a user equipment (UE) to perform public land mobile network (PLMN) selection with a non-terrestrial network (NTN). A UE performs a non-access stratum (NAS) procedure with a public land mobile network (PLMN) of an NTN. The UE receives a NAS message from the PLMN, and the NAS message indicates that the UE is not allowed to access a core network of the NTN. The NAS message may indicate that the UE is not allowed to access the core network of the NTN because a location of the UE is unknown to the NTN, that access to the NTN is not allowed in a country in which the UE is located, or that a location of the UE is not within a country associated with the NTN. The UE modifies its PLMN search procedure responsive to receiving the NAS message.
