This application provides a data transmission method. In the method, a first access network device and a second access network device establish a data radio bearer (DRB)-based tunnel and a session-based tunnel. The second access network device sends a Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP) layer data packet to the first access network device via the DRB-based tunnel; and the second access network device sends a Service Data Adaptation Protocol (SDAP) layer data packet to the first access network device via the session-based tunnel.

This application discloses a load relocation method, apparatus, and a system. The method includes determining, by a communications network entity, a target access management entity for load relocation; and sending, to an access network entity, an identifier of an original access management entity and an identifier of the target access management entity or an address of the target access management entity with respect to the access network entity. The access network entity sends a message from UE to the target access management entity based on the identifier of the original access management entity carried in the message from the UE. In the foregoing solution, signaling overheads in a load relocation process are reduced and load relocation efficiency is improved.

A network node is arranged to operate in a cell of a cellular communication system. The network node includes an interface towards the cellular communication system where the interface is arranged to receive paging information for an idle user equipment, UE, a paging handler arranged to determine a mode of power saving for the UE, and to determine timing for a wake-up signal based on the determined mode and the received paging information, and a transmitter arranged to transmit the wake-up signal at the determined timing. A method of the network node includes receiving paging information for an idle user equipment, UE, from the cellular communication system, determining a mode of power saving for the UE, determining timing for a wake-up signal based on the determined mode and the received paging information, and transmitting the wake-up signal at the determined timing.

A system can receive an indication associated with establishing a transmission control protocol (TCP) connection. The system can determine, based on the indication, information that identifies a user device associated with the TCP connection. The system can determine, based on the information that identifies the user device, a predicted congestion level of a base station associated with the TCP connection. The system can select, based on the predicted congestion level, a congestion control algorithm to be implemented for the TCP connection. The system can cause the TCP connection to be established and implement the congestion control algorithm for the TCP connection.

A method and an apparatus for beam failure recovery in a communication system. The method for beam failure recovery includes the steps of: searching for a plurality of candidate beams when a beam failure is detected; transmitting a beam failure recovery request signal to a base station by using beam #1 of the plurality of candidate beams; receiving a beam failure recovery response signal in response to the beam failure recovery request signal via beam #1 from the base station; and transmitting an SR requesting a resource for transmission of multi-beam setting information to the base station, where the multi-beam setting information includes indexes of one or more beams excluding beam #1 of the plurality of candidate beams.

Wireless communications systems and methods related to communicating uplink control information (UCI) in a network operating over multiple aggregated unlicensed carriers are provided. A first wireless communication device communicates, with a second wireless communication device, a downlink communication signal. The first wireless communication device communicates, with the second wireless communication device, an unscheduled uplink communication signal including an uplink report associated with the downlink communication signal, the unscheduled uplink communication signal communicated based on a listen-before-talk (LBT) procedure. The uplink report includes at least one of an acknowledgement (ACK) for data in the downlink communication signal, a negative-acknowledgement (NACK) for the data in the downlink communication signal, or channel information based at least on the downlink communication signal.

A method for determining analytics for service experience for a Network Slice instance in a network comprising one or more network entities is provided. The method includes obtaining first information for determining a mapping between a set of one or more user equipment (UEs) and a set of one or more Network Slice instances, obtaining second information for determining the analytics of the set of one or more UEs, and determining the analytics for a Network Slice instance based on the first information and the second information.

Aspects described herein relate to determining a group of relaying user equipment (UEs), selecting a sub-channel of multiple sub-channels for transmitting, to the group of relaying UEs, quality-of-service (QoS) traffic along with one or more other transmitting UEs in the time duration, and transmitting the QoS traffic to the group of relaying UEs in the same time duration over the sub-channel.
