Abstract

The present document proposes enablers for multiple user identities per UE. It defines user identity profiles for the users sharing the same UE and it allows for these user identity profiles to be provisioned in the UE's subscription information. The proposal enables multi user UEs to register at the same time for one or more users that are sharing the UE with optional extra user-specific authentication and authorisation. When registered, such a multi user UE can initiate per user PDU Session establishment and also can be paged for per user (one or more users) mobile terminated services.

Abstract

An access network node (12) is connected to a first core network (15) of a first Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) (10) and to a second core network (25) of a second PLMN (20). In response to a disaster condition being applied to an area to which a cell of the access network node (12) belongs or in response to an increase in load on the first core network, the access network node (12) restricts access to the cell from User Equipments (UEs) (32) using the second core network (25) and prioritizes access to the cell from UEs (31) using the first core network (15). This allows, for example, users of one PLMN to have priority over users of another PLMN to use a shared radio access network when necessary, such as in the event of a disaster.

Abstract

A transmitting terminal (1A) transmits first D2D control information (522, 523) in one or more subframes within a first subframe pool (511) within a first D2D control period (501) and performs data transmission (531-534) in accordance with the first D2D control information (522, 523) in one or more subframes within a second subframe pool (512) within the first D2D control period (501). The first D2D control information (522, 523) contains a second information element indicating whether the first D2D control information (522, 523) is valid in at least one D2D control period (502, 503) occurring after the first D2D control period (501). This makes it possible to contribute, for example, to reducing failure in reception of scheduling assignment information that is transmitted in a radio resource region for control in a periodic D2D control period and that specifies D2D transmission resources.

Abstract

In an activity support device, a plan acquisition means acquires a target physical activity amount of a user in a predetermined period and a predictive physical activity amount representing an expected expenditure of a physical activity amount. An expended physical activity amount acquisition means acquires an expended physical activity amount of the user up to a current time in the predetermined period. A total expended physical activity amount acquisition means derives a total expended physical activity amount of the user in the predetermined period, based on the predictive physical activity amount and the expended physical amount. An activity determination means determines a physical activity to the user from among physical activity options by comparing the target physical amount and the total expended physical amount. Accordingly, it is possible for the activity support device to support a user in making a decision regarding the physical activity.
