A solution for handover control in communication system is disclosed, the solution comprising controlling (300) more than one wireless interfaces configured to maintain more than one radio connection connecting the apparatus to one or more networks, the more than one radio connection being related to a same service and controlling (302) timing of handovers of the different radio connections to execute non overlapping handovers in time.

An autonomous vehicle having wireless access communications access point equipment is arranged to set up a base station in a coverage “hole” by scanning to detect transmissions from another wireless communications access point, and determines a direction in which quality of coverage from the other wireless communications access point decreases, and directs the autonomous vehicle to move in the direction of decreasing coverage until it reaches a limit of coverage, at which point it hands over to another base station or, if no further base station is available, sets up as a wireless communications point connecting through the last base station to a backhaul connection.

A data sending method, a data receiving method, a data transmit end, and a data receive end are provided. The data sending method includes: obtaining a transmission path used for data transmission, where the transmission path currently uses a first physical link group to transmit data; switching, based on a preconfigured link switching policy and transmission information of the transmission path, a physical link used by the transmission path from the first physical link group to a second physical link group; sending a first link switching notification message to a data receive end, where the first link switching notification message includes information indicating that the physical link used by the transmission path is switched from the first physical link group to the second physical link group; and continuing transmitting the data through a transmission path that uses the second physical link group.

Provided are a method and apparatus for processing Integrated Access and Backhaul (IAB) node information in an IAB network, including a second IAB node receives notification information transmitted by a first IAB node, where the notification information includes at least one of: notification information for notifying a connection handover event and/or a connection reestablishment event, and instruction information for instructing to perform Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP) status reporting.

Connection control circuitry is provided for a User Equipment (UE) configurable to offload communication of packet data from a cellular radio-access network comprising a Trusted Wireless Local Access Network (TWLAN) and a Trusted Wireless Access Gateway (TWAG) with IP Address preservation. The connection control circuitry has a connection requesting module configured to send a distinguishable-connection establishment message to the TWAG, requesting setup of a TWAG-routed data connection comprising at least one of a Packet Data Network (PDN) connection and a Non-Seamless Wireless Offload (NSWO) connection. A unique virtual gateway interface address is used to identify a point-to-point link between the UE and the TWAG. This allows the TWAG to distinguish between multiple substantially simultaneous point-to-point links which support multiple substantially simultaneous packet data connections. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.

A relay device includes, a storage configured to receive distributed video data, and store the received video data, a predictor configured to predict a communication disabled period in which the terminal device is disabled to perform communication, and a transmission controller configured to start transmission of the stored video data to the terminal device after a start delay period elapses from the start of the storing, wherein the transmission controller transmits the video data, which is to be played by the terminal device in a communication enabled period in which the terminal device is predicted to be enabled to perform communication and in the communication disabled period following the communication enabled period, to the terminal device in the communication enabled period.

The vehicle control system/method for adapting a control function based on a user profile may comprise: a gesture recognition module; a user profile module; a function control module; a processor; a non-transitory storage element coupled to the processor; encoded instructions stored in the non-transitory storage element, wherein the encoded instructions when implemented by the processor, configure the system to: identify a user; retrieve a user profile for the identified user; receive at a gesture recognition module, an input indicating a gesture from the user; identify a control function request corresponding to the gesture input; send a verification of the control function request; and receive at a function control module characteristics parsed from the user profile that effect the control function request by the user profile module to adapt a control function command for an adapted control function output by the function control module.

A method of processing state information in a radio access network (100). The radio access network (100) includes a first radio access node (103, 104) that is associated with a cell (105, 106) and user equipment (102). The method comprises maintaining state information at the user equipment (102), the state information comprising at least one state information part associable with different values. The method further comprises transmitting a current value associated with at least one state information part from the user equipment (102) to the first radio access node (103, 104) in response to detecting at least one predetermined trigger indicating that the first radio access node (103, 104) may not hold the current value. The method further comprises relying on the first radio access node (103, 104) holding the current value associated with the at least one state information part if no predetermined trigger is detected.

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a method, a device and a computer-readable medium for guaranteeing communication service. According to embodiments of the present disclosure, a source network device that currently serves the terminal device transmits, to a target network device which will serve the terminal device, information about the amount of resources of network slices utilized by the terminal device. The target network device configures the amount of resources based on the information. In this way, successful handover of the terminal device from the source network device to the target network device is guaranteed, so as to ensure continuity of communication services of the terminal device. In addition, embodiments of the present disclosure creates a network slice in the target network device, which avoids possible interruptions of communication service caused by mapping from the terminal device to the slices supported by the target network device.

This disclosure provides a method unmanned aerial vehicle handover, a base station, and a non-transitory computer readable storage medium. The method for unmanned aerial vehicle handover includes: when base stations meeting handover conditions are determined based on a measurement report sent by an unmanned aerial vehicle, determining whether there is a candidate base station that has completed a handover preparation existed among the base stations meeting the handover conditions; and when there is a candidate base station that has completed the handover preparation existed among the base stations meeting the handover conditions, handing over the unmanned aerial vehicle to the candidate base station meeting the handover conditions.
