A bridge for bridging mobile communications may include a donor bridge node and/or one or more service bridge nodes. The donor bridge node may be configured to connect to a base station pooling location comprising a plurality of cell signals, determine for each cell signal a service link carrier frequency in a service link frequency band and a bridge link carrier frequency in a bridge link frequency band, associate each cell signal and the determined carrier frequencies in the service link frequency band and in the bridge link frequency band with the one or more service bridge nodes, and communicate each cell signal at the bridge link carrier frequency of the cell signal. The service bridge nodes may communicate with the donor bridge node at the carrier frequency of the bridge link frequency band and with user equipment in the service link carrier frequency of the service link frequency band.

Various communication systems may benefit from an improved signaling protocol. For example, communication systems may benefit from an improved network support for a narrowband internet of things in a hosting long term evolution carrier. A method, in certain embodiments, includes shifting a frequency of a downlink long term evolution channel by a pre-determined amount. The shift causes a duplex distance between the downlink long term evolution channel and an uplink long term evolution channel to change. The method includes blanking at least one overlapping radio resource in at least one of the uplink long term evolution channel or an uplink narrowband internet of things channel. The uplink narrowband internet of things channel and the uplink long term evolution channel at least partially overlap. In addition, the method includes receiving data on the uplink narrowband internet of things channel and an additional uplink narrowband internet of things channel at a network entity from a user equipment.

Apparatuses, methods, and systems are disclosed for resource attribute configuration. One method (2200) includes receiving (2202) a first configuration for a resource. The first configuration includes a first parameter indicating a time-domain attribute associated with the resource, and the time-domain attribute is hard, soft, and/or unavailable. The method (2200) includes receiving (2204) a second configuration for the resource. The second configuration includes a second parameter indicating a frequency-domain attribute associated with the resource, and the frequency-domain attribute is hard, soft, and/or unavailable. The method (2200) includes determining (2206) an attribute for the resource based on the time-domain attribute and the frequency-domain attribute. The attribute is hard, soft, and/or unavailable. The method (2200) includes, in response to determining that the attribute is soft: determining (2208) whether the resource is indicated as available; and performing an operation on the resource.

This application provides a communication method and apparatus, and relates to the field of communication technologies. The method includes: An AP generates a trigger frame, where the trigger frame includes a first user information field, a part or all of a frequency domain resource indicated by a resource unit allocation subfield in a fourth user information field before the first user information field is located on a primary 160 MHz channel, and a part or all of a frequency domain resource indicated by a resource unit allocation subfield in a fourth user information field after the first user information field is located on a secondary 160 MHz channel. Then, the AP sends the trigger frame.

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.

A communication apparatus is provided that performs packet transmission at the time of detecting an interference signal. Each STA records a pair of a measurement result of an RSSI of an OBSS and a BSS Color, and reports, to an AP, BSS Colors that correspond to a maximum value and a minimum value of the RSSI. The AP generates a database or a table by using a STA having a minimum or maximum RSSI for each of the OBSS's. When a signal of an OBSS is detected, the AP selects a STA that has the smallest RSSI of the OBSS or does not have the largest RSSI of the OBSS, and performs SR transmission. Alternatively, the AP measures angles of arrival of STAs and OBSS's. When a signal of an OBSS is detected, the AP selects a STA that is most different in the angle of arrival from the OBSS or is not most similar in the angle of arrival to the OBSS, and performs SR transmission.
