A multi Transmission Reception Point (TRP) system is provided. The system includes a User Equipment (UE), a core network, a plurality of cells, and a Transmission Reception Point (TRP) controller (TRP-C). The core network is defined by a Centralized or Cloud Radio Access Network (C-RAN). The plurality of cells where each of which is connected to the UE. Each cell includes at least one TRP of a number of TRPs. The TRP-C is connected to the core network, or cloud network or virtual network and to at least one TRP of the number of TRPs in each cell of the plurality of cell. The TRP-C is configured to determine the number of TRPs required for each cell of the plurality of cells to serve the UE.

A device is provided. The device includes: at least one antenna and a circuit. The circuit communicates with one or more agent devices through the at least one antenna, wherein the device and the one or more agent devices form a mesh network. The circuit periodically obtains a scan report from each agent device, and determines whether an OBSS (overlapping basic service set) airtime in the scan report of each agent device satisfies a first predetermined condition. In response to the OBSS airtime of each agent device satisfying the first predetermined condition, the circuit disables spatial reuse of each agent device by updating a plurality of spatial-reuse parameters for each agent device.

The disclosed technology provides a system and method for provisioning network resource slices to wireless network operators where the network slices are supported by a single modular cell (e.g., a small cell) shared between, e.g., multiple different wireless network operators.

In a system where a first node provides a first area of TDD coverage on a first TDD carrier using a first TDD configuration and an adjacent second node provides a second area of TDD coverage on a second TDD carrier using a different second TDD configuration, the first node could additionally provide an area of FDD coverage on a first FDD carrier, including causing the area of FDD coverage to sit at least partially between the first and second areas of TDD coverage and therefore to define a spatial buffer between the first and second areas of TDD coverage. For instance, the first access node could restrict its service on the first TDD carrier to be for user equipment devices (UEs) that are relatively close to the first access node and could restrict its service on the first FDD carrier to be for UEs that are relatively far away from the first access node.

An orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) base station operative to transmit a sequence of OFDM signals simultaneously using at least two separate twisted pairs, in which each of the OFDM signals is modulated by a plurality of sub-carriers. At least two converters are connected to the OFDM base station using the at least two twisted pairs, respectively, in which each of the converters, and simultaneously with the other converters, is configured to receive each of the OFDM signals from the OFDM base station using the respective twisted pair, up-convert the OFDM signal into a radio-frequency (RF) band, and re-transmit wirelessly the OFDM signal, in conjunction with the RF band, from at least one antenna associated with each converter.

During handover of a radio terminal (1) from a first network to a second network, a target RAN node (3) is operates to: receive, from a core network (5), slice information about a network slice which is included in the second network and to which the radio terminal (1) is to be connected; create, upon receiving the slice information, radio resource configuration information that is to be used by the radio terminal (1) after the handover in the second network; and transmit this radio resource configuration information through the first network to the radio terminal (1). It is possible to contribute to appropriately configuring an AS layer or NAS layer of a target RAT in inter-RAT handover.
