A method for switching frequency band in a mesh network including a plurality of access points is provided. The method includes turning off one of two communication ports of a second backhaul station of an idle node when the idle node is in an on-boarding phase and the two communication ports are turned on, so that the idle node joins the mesh network by communicatively connecting to a first backhaul station of one of the access points through the turned on communication port. The two communication ports operate in different frequency bands. A first fronthaul station of each of the access points is configured to provide a communication connection for at least one user terminal. A second fronthaul station of the idle node is configured to provide a communication connection for the at least one user terminal after the idle node joins the mesh network.

The application describes an apparatus including a processor operably coupled to a non-transitory memory including instructions stored thereon. The apparatus also includes plural, discrete radio resources operably in communication with the processor. Each of the plural, discrete radio resources includes a modem having a separate IP address. The processor is configured to execute the instructions of discovering the modem of each of the plural, discrete radio resources. The processor is also configured to execute the instructions of assigning a TCP port to each of the discovered modems. The processor is further configured to execute the instructions of creating an individualized session for each of the modems. The processor is even further configured to execute the instructions of scanning an area for mobile equipment.

A method for handling a Random Access (RA) procedure in a Bandwidth Part (BWP) switching operation is provided. The method includes: receiving a configuration of a first BWP through Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling from a Base Station (BS); initiating an RA procedure on the first BWP; receiving, during the RA procedure on the first BWP, Downlink Control Information (DCI) indicating a BWP switching from the first BWP to a second BWP; determining whether to switch to the second BWP in response to receiving the DCI; and in a case that the UE determines to switch to the second BWP: stopping the RA procedure that is ongoing on the first BWP; determining, after stopping the RA procedure, whether the second BWP is configured with an RA resource; and initiating, after determining that the second BWP is not configured with the RA resource, a new RA procedure on an initial BWP.

An electronic device includes: a wireless communication circuit configured to wirelessly communicate with an external electronic device by using a short-range wireless communication protocol; a processor; and a memory. The memory stores instructions, which when executed, cause the processor to receive first data from the external electronic device at a first time through a wireless communication channel by using the wireless communication circuit, receive second data from the external electronic device at a second time after the first time through the wireless communication channel by using the wireless communication circuit, compare a first reception state related to the first data and a second reception state related to the second data, and transmit, to the external electronic device, a request for change from a first mode to a second mode by using the wireless communication circuit, based on a result of the comparing.
