A vehicle communication system includes a central device and an on-vehicle device. A path determiner of the central device determines an information transmission path between a plurality of vehicles for consolidating information in a vehicle that performs a wireless communication with a terrestrial communication device out of the vehicles based on at least operating information on the vehicles. An on-vehicle communicator of the on-vehicle device acquires the information transmission path directly from the central device via the terrestrial communication device or indirectly from the central device via the terrestrial communication device and a second vehicle, and transmits and receives predetermined information to and from the terrestrial communication device or the second vehicle based on the acquired information transmission path.

The present technology is directed to routing a user equipment (UE) to a network node, for example, a gNB or ng-eNB that supports a slice requirement of the UE. A first network node can receive a Radio Resource Control (RCC) connection request from a UE, and can determine that a slice requirement of the UE is not supported by the first network node. The first network node can further select a second network node that supports the slice requirement of the UE, and route the UE to connect to the second network node.

A system for training animals includes a hand-held device and a remote device, where the remote device applies a stimulus when a user presses a button or trigger on the hand-held device. The amount of pressure applied is measured by a pressure sensitive transducer and transformed into proportional transducer signals. These transducer signals are transmitted to the remote device, which then applies a stimulus to an animal being trained. The amplitude of the applied stimulus corresponds to the amplitude of the transducer signals; a trainer can thus precisely control the intensity of the stimulus by applying and relieving pressure on the button. The type of stimulus applied is controlled based on the position of a rotary switch on the hand-held device. Sensor data generated by specialized sensors in the remote device may be transmitted to the hand-held device to provide the user with sensory feedback.

For monitoring a slice attribute, apparatuses, methods, and systems are disclosed. One apparatus (1000) includes a processor (1005) that determines (1105) to collect data for a slice attribute of a network slice. Here, the slice attribute is a number of UEs using the network slice and/or a number of data sessions using the network slice. The processor (1005) requests (1110) a first collecting network function to report first usage data (e.g., roaming UE usage) for the network slice according to the slice attribute and requests (1115) a second collecting network function to report second usage data (e.g., non-roaming usage) for the network slice according to the slice attribute. The processor (1005) determines (1120) whether a quota associated with the slice attribute is reached. The apparatus (1000) includes a transceiver (1025) that sends (1125) a notification to a network function in response to the quota being met.

To provide a relay apparatus for relay communication between a wireless base station and a communication terminal, the relay apparatus including: a relay function management switch for switching from on to off a relay function for relaying communications between the wireless base station and the communication terminal based on the satisfaction of a predetermined condition; and a signal transmitter for transmitting, to the communication terminal, establishing a wireless communication connection with the relay apparatus, a signal to execute handover to a handover destination which is identified before the predetermined condition has been satisfied if the predetermined condition has been satisfied.

A routing device for installation on a moving platform connects with multiple wireless access devices for wireless interconnection with a wide-area network (WAN). The routing device routes traffic to the WAN through an active one of the wireless access devices. The routing device monitors connection quality between each of the wireless access devices and the WAN and in response to the metric of connection quality for the wireless access device at the active port dropping below a threshold value, reconfigure the routing device to route data traffic to the WAN through a wireless access device at a targeted one of the ports, different from the active one of the ports.

Example implementations include a method, apparatus and computer-readable medium of wireless communication over a sidelink between a first user equipment (UE) and a second UE. The first UE may identify a configuration for discontinuous reception (DRX) for direct link communications with a second UE. The first UE may determine a channel busy ratio (CBR) based on a plurality of CBR measurement occasions within a time window prior to a direct link transmission based on the configuration for DRX. The first UE may determine whether to perform a congestion control on the direct link transmission based on the CBR. The first UE may perform a direct link transmission subject to a channel occupancy ratio limit.

One embodiment is directed to off-loading at least some of the baseband processing for signals received at or transmitted by at least one overloaded radio point to at least one other radio point so that the off-loaded baseband processing is performed by the at least one other radio point. The radio points are a part of a centralized or cloud radio access network (C-RAN) or similar system.

A computer-implemented system and method for a transportation system comprises, using a processor associated with a service, initializing information collectors and response monitors by loading configurations, user settings, and data structures to capture device information from a plurality of devices that each run a virtual agent (VA). Fifth generation (5G) communication links are established between 5G server orchestration service instances (SOSIs) and respective VAs on the devices. Captured live status information by the SOSIs is received from various devices. A 5G dynamic ad-hoc network (DAHN) connects a user device of a user having visual impairment and a vehicle stop device, the DAHN creation being triggered by the user device entering a stop device boundary. An SOSI receives user-vehicle stop information after the connecting to the DAHN. Control information is transmitted to the vehicle device VA related to the user when the user device is located within the stop boundary.
