Aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to a wireless communication method in a wireless network comprising a plurality of access points (APs) sharing a communication channel, each AP is configured to manage stations of a basic service set (BSS), the method comprising at a coordinator AP: signaling to another AP, referred to as coordinated AP, that the coordinator AP has gained access to the communication channel; and sending to the coordinated AP a resource allocation allocating a chunk of the communication channel for stations managed by the coordinated AP.

A method for establishing message priority in network slices based on quality of service (QoS) parameters includes receiving, by a network slice configuration service provider entity and from a network slice management service provider entity, a network slice creation notification message containing at least a QoS profile corresponding to a created network slice, utilizing the QoS profile to derive a service based interface (SBI) message priority (SMP) associated with the network slice, and providing the SMP to a requesting access and mobility management function (AMF) entity in response to receiving a network slice selection request message from the AMF entity, wherein the AMF entity assigns the SMP level value to network traffic directed to the network slice.

System, methods, and computer-readable media for validating and committing a shared O-RU configuration via a shared O-RU Operator. The shared O-RU Operator validates a partitioned configuration received from a tenant operator, with the ability to indicate to the tenant operator that the partitioned configuration is conformant to agreed-upon sharing rules and then commits the shared configuration to the shared O-RU. The shared O-RU operator shares the outcome of the commit operation to the tenant operator via defined operational-data that can be read by the tenant operator. A single radio in O-RAN is shared by multiple different operators and enables a neutral host to deploy a radio unit and then have that attached to different operators networks.

[Object] To make it possible to select a cell that is more preferable for a terminal device in an environment in which beamforming is performed. [Solution] There is provided a device including: an acquiring unit configured to acquire received quality information indicating received quality of a reference signal in a terminal device; and a control unit configured to perform cell selection for the terminal device based on the received quality information. When a predetermined condition related to use of weight sets for beamforming by a base station is satisfied, the control unit does not perform the selection based on the received quality information.

A wireless access network includes a first access point having a first coverage area, and a second access point having a second coverage area. A portion of the second coverage area overlaps with the first coverage area in an overlapping region. The network further includes a central controller in operable communication with the first and second access points, and a single station device located within the overlapping region. The single station device is configured to connect with the first and second access points. The central controller is configured to (i) control downlink data transmission from the first and second access points, and (ii) implement a scheduling protocol for the downlink data transmission, such that the single station device receives at least a first portion of the downlink data transmission from the first access point and a second portion of the downlink data transmission from the second access point.

Some demonstrative embodiments may include apparatus, system and method of scheduling Time Sensitive Networking (TSN) wireless communications. For example, an apparatus may include logic and circuitry configured to cause a wireless communication Access Point (AP) to allocate at least one Time Sensitive Networking (TSN) enabled (TSN-enabled) Target Wakeup Time (TWT) Service Period (SP) based on one or more timing requirements of a TSN schedule of at least one TSN stream for at least one wireless communication station (STA); to transmit a TWT scheduling message to schedule the TSN-enabled TWT SP, the TWT scheduling message including an indication that the TSN-enabled TWT SP is restricted to only TSN communications; and, during the TSN-enabled TWT SP, to communicate one or more frames of the at least one TSN stream with the at least one STA.

A resource allocation method for coexistence of multiple line topological industrial wireless networks is provided. It pertains to the coexistence problem of multiple TDMA-based line topological industrial wireless networks, including three parts: lower bound analysis of scheduling delay, allocation algorithm of inter-network resources and allocation algorithm of intra-network resources. The method uses overall scheduling delay and resource utilization ratio as measurement indexes when analyzing the lower bound of delay and designing resource allocation algorithms, and selects a best node combination in each time slot to occupy as many channel resources as possible to improve the resource utilization ratio and reduce the overall scheduling delay.
