Methods and apparatuses for facilitating multi-AP (MAP) coordination to mitigate interference caused by a link of a non-simultaneous transmit/receive (NSTR) link pair of a multilink device (MLD) in an overlapping basic service set (OBSS) in a wireless local area network. The methods include a method performed by an access point (AP) MLD, comprising the steps of obtaining, via a backhaul link from a neighboring AP in a different BSS, a MAP coordination request that includes schedule information for a victim station (STA) in the different BSS, and modifying, based on the MAP coordination request and the schedule information, an operation mode of either the AP MLD or a non-AP MLD that forms an NSTR link pair with the AP MLD, such that a first link of the NSTR link pair is silenced during an active period of the victim STA.

Various aspects described herein relate to dynamically controlling a time when random access initiated in a target cell of a non-terrestrial network. For example, when a user equipment (UE) detects an event that triggers a random access procedure in the target cell, the UE may monitor a control channel from the target cell for a control signal during a target cell monitoring window prior to initiating random access in the target cell. For example, the control signal may include a dynamic indication to identify UEs allowed to initiate random access, whereby a UE is not permitted to autonomously start contention-based random access in the target cell during the target cell monitoring window unless the UE has received the control signal. In this way, the target cell may regulate a rate at which UEs initiate the RACH procedure in order to manage congestion in the target cell.

Embodiments include methods for a user equipment (UE), particularly for performing quality of experience (QoE) measurements configured by a wireless network. Such methods include receiving, from a radio access network node (RNN) in the wireless network, a request for QoE measurement reports that are available at the UE and that are associated with one or more services provided by the UE application layer. Such methods also include sending one or more QoE measurement reports to the RNN in accordance with the request. Other embodiments include complementary methods for a RNN, as well as UEs and RNNs configured to perform such methods.
