An apparatus and a method of wireless communication are provided. A user equipment (UE) includes a memory; a transceiver; and a processor coupled to the memory and the transceiver; wherein the processor is configured, by a first base station configured to control a serving cell to the UE, to measure transmission beams transmitted by a second base station configured to control a non-serving cell to the UE. This can solve issues in the prior art, provide a beam management of a non-serving cell, improve a latency in a multi-beam operation, provide a good communication performance, and/or provide high reliability.

A wireless UE wirelessly attaches to a network controller over a source RAN. The UE transfers UE capabilities that comprise a Public Land Mobile Network Identifier (PLMN ID) and transfers a slice request for a network slice type to the network controller over the source RAN. The network controller selects a network slice based on the requested network slice type. The network controller selects a mobility profile that comprises handover criteria based on the requested slice type and the PLMN ID. The UE exchanges user data with a user plane over the selected network slice. The UE determines a handover requirement based on the handover criteria and identifies a set of target RANs. The UE selects one of the target RANs based on the handover criteria and hands over to the target RAN. The UE exchanges additional user data with user plane over the network slice and the target RAN.

This disclosure provides a method in a cellular telecommunications network, wherein the cellular telecommunications network includes a first transceiver providing a first access connection in a first spectrum range, and a second transceiver providing a second access connection in a second spectrum range, the method including determining that a trigger condition for reconfiguring the second transceiver has been met; and, in response, evaluating a plurality of candidate transition options, wherein each transition option includes transferring users from the second spectrum range to the first access connection, and, following the transferring, reconfiguring the second transceiver, wherein the evaluation is based on a user impact of the transition; selecting a transition option based on the evaluation; causing the transfer of users from the second spectrum range according to the selected transition option; and causing the reconfiguration of the second transceiver according to the selected transition option.

The present disclosure provides an information sending method, including in response to determining that a second SIM card in a connected state satisfies a handover condition for handing over the second SIM card from a first base station to a second base station, sending context information of a first SIM card to the first base station through the second SIM card, wherein the first SIM card is in an inactive state. According to the technical solutions of the present disclosure, the first SIM card does not need to send the context information to the second base station separately, nor temporarily adjust its state, thus the times of communication between the terminal and the base station are reduced, the communication progress is simplified and the communication resources are saved.

A network node (1700) configured to operate as a source network node (32) of a reconfiguration procedure transmits signaling to a target network node (34) of the reconfiguration procedure. The signaling indicates (i) whether or not the target network node (34) is to provide feedback information (44) to the source network node (32) and/or (ii) which one or more types of feedback information (44) the target network node (34) is to provide to the source network node (32). Based on the received feedback information (44), the network node may train a model to predict predicted information, predict the predicted information using the model, and make a decision based on the predicted information.
