A first network device in a high-availability cluster may configure a first wireless channel for a wireless control link. The first network device may establish, using the first wireless channel, the wireless control link with a second network device in the high-availability cluster. The first network device may configure a second wireless channel for a wireless fabric link. The first network device may establish, using the second wireless channel, the wireless fabric link with the second network device.

In some implementations, a method includes receiving a connection request from a user application. A service request is sent to a radio resource control (RRC) module. An indication of failure of or a rejection to the service request due to access class barring is received from the RRC module. A retry of the user application connection request is prevented until expiration of an access-class-barring timer of the RRC module that resulted in the access class barring.

The embodiments of the present disclosure provide a data retransmission method and an access point device, capable of achieving downlink data retransmission in a multi-AP cooperation scenario, which can reduce the number of downlink data retransmissions and transmission delay, thereby improving user experience. The data retransmission method includes: transmitting, by a first access point device, first request information when the first access point device fails to transmit a first data frame to a station device, the first request information requesting a second access point device to retransmit the first data frame, and the first access point device and the second access point device belonging to one operation set.

Described herein are techniques, devices, and systems for using an application server (AS) to trigger home subscriber server (HSS)-based proxy call session control function (P-CSCF) restoration for a user equipment (UE) in order to restore service to the UE via an in-service P-CSCF node. For example, an AS is configured to receive, from a serving CSCF (S-CSCF) node, an indication that a P-CSCF node assigned to a UE is unavailable, and, in response, the AS is configured to send, to a HSS, a request to initiate P-CSCF restoration for the UE. In turn, the HSS or a Unified Data Management (UDM) node is configured to send, to a control node, an indication to perform the P-CSCF restoration for the UE. The disclosed AS-triggered, HSS-based P-CSCF restoration procedure restores service to the UE.

Reference signals configured for use with extension carriers and/or carrier segments are described. Reference signals for extension carriers and/or carrier segments may include demodulation reference signals (e.g., user equipment-specific reference signals), cell-specific reference signals, and channel-state information reference signals. Methods, systems and apparatuses for configuring extension carriers and/or carrier segments with one or more of the reference signals (e.g., positioning one or more reference signal symbols in extension carriers and/or carrier segments) are described.
