Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, facilitating a first wireless communication session by performing a relay function between a first end user device and a network, where the first end user device is outside of a coverage area of the network, where a second end user device of the first wireless communication session is within the coverage area of the network, and where the first wireless communication session is while the processing system has a connection with the network; and facilitating a second wireless communication session by performing a local IP Multimedia core network Subsystem (IMS) server function between the first end user device and a third end user device, where the first and third end user devices are outside of the coverage area of the network, and where the second wireless communication session is while the processing system does not have a connection with the network. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a broadband modem that includes a wireless modem and a wireline modem. A traffic integrate and split unit (TISU) within the broadband modem may split uplink data between the wireless and wireline connection based on a scheduling criteria. The TISU may also integrate or combine downlink data received by the wireless and wireline modems. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a device comprising: a processing system including a processor; and a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processing system, facilitate performance of operations, the operations comprising: determining that the device will be communicating as a remote user equipment (UE) with a wireless access point of a network via a relay UE, wherein the relay UE is configured to forward first communications from the device when the device is operating as the remote UE to the wireless access point, and wherein the relay UE is configured to forward second communications from the wireless access point to the device when the device is operating as the remote UE; creating a message indicative of the device operating as the remote UE, the message conforming to a communication protocol; and transmitting the message to the relay UE. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, creating a message associated with a 5th Generation (5G) wireless service, the message containing: a first indication whether the 5G wireless service is restricted or permitted in a first frequency range of a 5G frequency spectrum; and a second indication whether the 5G wireless service is restricted or permitted in a second frequency range of the 5G frequency spectrum, the second frequency range being a frequency range that is different from the first frequency range; and facilitating transmission of the message that is created to first user equipment, to a radio access network, or to a combination thereof. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, obtaining a first access point name (APN) value from a storage device, transmitting a first message that includes the first APN value to a mobility management entity (MME), receiving a second message subsequent to the transmitting of the first message, wherein the second message includes a second APN value that is different from the first APN value, and causing the second APN value to be stored in the storage device. Other embodiments are disclosed.
