Configuration of measurement requirements on cells and beams in NR is made more efficient by, in a user equipment, UE, recieving, information from a network node, which information indicates: a first number K of beams to be measured by the UE, and a second number L of cells in which the UE is required to measure the first number K of beams. The UE then carries out measurements using the received information; and performs at least one operational task based on a result of the measurements.

A method for setting a value of an inactivity timer for transitioning between states of a data session in a network comprising a first entity and a second entity providing network analytics is provided. The method includes obtaining, by the second entity, input data comprising communication description information for at least one user equipment (UE), and providing, by the second entity to the first entity, output analytics generated based on the input data, the output analytics comprising UE communications analytics for each data session where the output analytics are used to determining whether to update a value of an inactivity timer for a data session.

A system uses signals received from actual user equipment (UE) to build in real time a reception pattern for base stations in a cellular communication system. Each UE is assigned a unique tone to broadcast so that a controller can analyze radio coverage by analyzing which base stations received signals from each UE in a coverage area. Cellular base stations necessarily have overlapping coverage and are assigned unique channel access values to avoid repeating values from overlapping cell sites. As overlaps change in real time, in response to live events, traffic jams, site outages, and new sites, signals received from UEs in the coverage area provide a real time view of system coverage. This allows better allocation of channel access values than prior art historical performance indicators using base station and controller call errors.

Methods and apparatus for providing quasi-licensed intra-cell spectrum reassignment. In one embodiment, the quasi-licensed spectrum utilizes 3.5 GHz CBRS (Citizens Broadband Radio Service) spectrum, and a “seamless” reassignment of wireless spectrum without disruption or loss of continuity to existing data sessions of the CBSD is provided via a pool of temporary RF carriers which act as substitutes for the currently allocated (granted) carriers. The served user devices (e.g., UEs) are instructed by the CBSD to migrate to a new “final” carrier via the substitutes, either directly or via one or more intermediary hops. In one variant, existing 3GPP signaling mechanisms between the UE and CBSD/eNodeB obviates any changes to extant UEs. Communications between the CBSD and its cognizant SAS/DP include new information objects which direct the CBSD to implement the handover functionality. In a further variant, inter-CBSD sector and frequency handovers are provided for using CBRS-plane and 3GPP signaling.

According to an example embodiment, a method may include logging, by a user device in a wireless network, information related to a multiple-event conditional handover execution, wherein the multiple-event conditional handover execution is based on a joint evaluation of multiple events by the user device; and sending, by the user device, a report including at least a portion of the information.

There are provided a first wireless system, a second wireless system, an information collection terminal, and a wireless control apparatus. The first wireless system includes a fixed wireless access apparatus that performs communication with a movable wireless terminal. The second wireless system performs communication in a limited communication area using a frequency band that is the same as or overlaps a frequency band of the first wireless system. The information collection terminal is installed in the communication area of the second wireless system and collects information on the wireless communication of the first wireless system. The wireless control apparatus controls the communication of the first wireless system. The wireless control apparatus controls the communication of the first wireless system when approach of the wireless terminal to the communication area of the second wireless system is detected, based on information on the wireless communication collected by the information collection terminal. This can prevent the first wireless system from causing harmful interference with the second wireless system.

A method of operating a wireless telecommunications network includes identifying a signal coverage area of a moving base station, that forms part of a first telecommunications network, to which to allocate a first physical network identifier, determining a second physical network identifier for enabling user equipment to access an access point that serves the identified signal coverage area, wherein the access point is stationary relative to the moving base station and forms part of a second wireless telecommunications network, and associating the first physical network identifier with the second physical network identifier. The method further includes allocating the first physical network identifier to the moving base station to allow user equipment within the signal coverage area to access the moving base station via the first physical network identifier when the moving base station is providing a telecommunications signal in the identified signal coverage area.
