A first device having a transceiver and an antenna operatively connected to the transceiver and a second device having a transceiver and an antenna operatively connected to the transceiver, the first device in operative communication with the first device through a communications linkage separate from the transceiver of the first device and the transceiver of the second device. The first device is adapted to wirelessly communicate with a remote device through the transceiver of the first device. The second device is adapted to wirelessly communicate with the remote device through the transceiver of the second device. The system is configured to evaluate the wireless connection between the first device and the remote device and to evaluate the wireless communication between the second device and the remote device and determine whether the first device or the second device has a better connection.

A method for communication beam transition in a communication system includes exchanging information between a first communication device and a second communication device on a first communication beam, receiving beam information from the second communication device on the first communication beam, sending from the first communication device a beam switch command on the first communication beam, the beam switch command requesting a transition from the first communication beam to a second communication beam, simultaneously sending information from the first communication device to the second communication device on the first communication beam and the second communication beam, and ceasing sending information from the first communication device to the second communication device on the first communication beam when transition to the second communication beam is completed by the first communication device and the second communication device.

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to the field of communications technologies, and provide a radio bearer reconfiguration method, a radio bearer establishment method, user equipment, and a base station. The method includes receiving, by a UE, a radio bearer reconfiguration indication sent by abase station, where the radio bearer reconfiguration indication includes a radio bearer identifier and a target configuration parameter, the radio bearer identifier indicates a target radio bearer that needs to be reconfigured, and the target configuration parameter corresponds to a configuration item of the target radio bearer that needs to be reconfigured; releasing, by the UE, the target radio bearer; and transmitting, by the UE, signaling and/or data on the corresponding target radio bearer according to the target configuration parameter.

Apparatuses, methods, and systems are disclosed for provisioning a UE with information to access a specific service. One apparatus (500) includes a transceiver (525) that communicates with a mobile communication network and a processor (505) that sends (705) a first registration request to the mobile communication network, the mobile communication network supporting a plurality of network slices. The processor (505) receives (705) configuration information from the mobile communication network, the configuration information enabling the apparatus to us eat least one network slice from the plurality of network slices, wherein the configuration information includes a frequency priority for the at least one network slice. The processor (505) performs (715) cell reselection using at least the frequency priority and sends (720) a second registration request to the mobile communication network after performing the cell reselection, wherein the second registration requests to register with the at least one network slice.

Aspects described herein relate to communicating with a base station over multiple frequency bands using a first beam, and switching from the first beam to the second beam during a time period or based on a timing of the reference band. Other aspects relate to transmitting an indication of one or more parameters for determining a reference band of the multiple frequency bands to use as a timing reference for switching beams for communicating over the multiple frequency bands.

A communication method and an apparatus. A terminal device camps on a first BWP, where the terminal device is in a non-connected state. The terminal device receives a first message from a network device, where the first message is for indicating a second BWP; and the terminal device switches from the first BWP to the second BWP.
