An operating method of a first terminal in a wireless communication system, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, may include transmitting sidelink data to a second terminal through a first radio bearer; reporting a count value to a base station when a certain condition is satisfied; receiving, from the base station, a sidelink radio resource control (RRC) reconfiguration message, based on the count value; generating a second radio bearer based on the RRC reconfiguration message; and transmitting the sidelink data to the second terminal through the second radio bearer.

The disclosure relates to a communication method and system for converging a 5th-Generation (5G) communication system for supporting higher data rates beyond a 4th-Generation (4G) system with a technology for Internet of Things (IoT). The disclosure may be applied to intelligent services based on the 5G communication technology and the IoT-related technology, such as smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car, connected car, health care, digital education, smart retail, security and safety services. A method and apparatus for interruption handling for V2X communication are provided.

A 5G network may support path switch mechanisms from a direct path to an indirect path to the network, and vice versa. Methods and systems are disclosed for performing the path switching process.

An operation method of a first base station in a communication system may comprise: identifying whether a first terminal supports a dual active protocol stack (DAPS); identifying whether a first relay terminal supports a layer 2 (L2) relay structure; and in response to identifying that the first terminal supports the DAPS and the first relay terminal supports the L2 relay structure, configuring dual connectivity for the first terminal using the first relay terminal.

One or more embodiments of a process for provisioning a headless WiFi device are disclosed, and systems, methods and devices for the same.

Provided are an initiation method and apparatus, a reselection method and apparatus, a device, and a storage medium. The initiation method is applied to a first communication node, where the first communication node is in a connected state, an idle state or an inactive state, and includes: receiving relay function configuration information sent by a second communication node; and initiating, according to a comparison result of the relay function configuration information and a first current parameter value, a relay function corresponding to the comparison result, where the first current parameter value includes a measurement value and a traffic priority.

After receiving a PCS RRC connection released notification from a source user equipment (UE) device, a base station notifies a peer UE device. Where the base station is the serving base station of the peer UE device, the base station sends a PCS RRC connection released notification peer message to the peer UE device. Where the base station is not the serving base station of the peer UE device, the base station sends a PCS RRC connection released notification base station message to the other base station that is serving the peer UE device and the other base station sends a notification peer message to the peer UE device. In some situations, the base station evaluates data to determine whether notification should be sent to the peer UE device. At least some of the data may be included in the notification received from the source UE device.

A method for a wireless network, including a node and a first device covered by the node, the node acting as serving node for the first device, and the first device transmitting first data to the node over a first link, includes determining presence of a second device covered by the node, the second device transmitting second data to a serving node over a second link, determining radio quality of the first link, determining radio quality of the second link, and determining radio quality of a third link between the second device and the first device. If the radio quality of the third link is higher than the radio quality of the second link, the second device transmits the second data to the first device over the third link and the first device retransmits, over the first link, the second data to the node.

An apparatus and a method in a wireless communication system. In the wireless communication system, a master device provides a data forwarding service for one or plural slave devices, a master device side apparatus including: a monitoring unit, configured to monitor a predetermined trigger event relating to a change in state of the master device; a handover pre-measurement control unit, configured to respond to the predetermined trigger event by controlling the handover pre-measurement of the one or plural slave devices; and a handover measurement control unit, configured to control, based on the handover pre-measurement results, the handover measurement of the one or plural slave devices. The apparatus and method can accelerate start time of effective link handover in a dynamic network, reduce unnecessary link handover, and reduce delays and data loss caused by link failure.

Communication network architectures, systems and methods for supporting a network of mobile nodes. As a non-limiting example, various aspects of this disclosure provide communication network architectures, systems, and methods for supporting a dynamically configurable communication network comprising a complex array of both static and moving communication nodes (e.g., the Internet of moving things). Specifically, there is disclosed optimizing methods for handing off or connecting a mobile user to different access points.
