Methods, systems, and devices for inter-donor topology adaptation in integrated access and backhaul (IAB) networks are described. An example method for wireless communication includes transmitting, by a source donor, a first message comprising an indication that a migrating IAB node is configured to perform an inter-donor switching operation, and receiving a second message comprising feedback information, wherein the source donor is communicatively coupled to the migrating IAB node and a plurality of nodes that are downstream from the migrating IAB node.

Disclosed is a pre-5G or 5G communication system for supporting higher data rates beyond 4G communication system such as LTE. An electronic device including a plurality of antenna modules in a wireless communication system is provided. The electronic device includes a transceiver and a processor configured to identify a first RSRP value and a second RSRP value by using a first antenna module of the plurality of antenna modules; determine to monitor a second antenna module of the plurality of antenna modules based on the first RSRP value or the second RSRP value; and, in response to determining to monitor the second antenna module, monitor the second antenna module. The first RSRP value is measured from a first reference signal of a serving cell, and the second RSRP value is measured from a second reference signal of a neighboring cell.

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a wireless node may establish a first connection between a child wireless node and a first base station and a second connection between the child wireless node and a second base station, wherein the first connection is an F1-U direct path and the second connection is an F1-U alternative path. The wireless node may forward at least a portion of user-plane traffic between the child wireless node and the first base station via the second connection and the second base station. Numerous other aspects are described.

Presented herein are techniques to facilitate dynamic switching for user equipment between unique cell and shared cell operating modes based on application traffic. In one example, a method may include determining, a quality of service (QoS) to be provided for a traffic flow of a user equipment (UE) in which the mobile network includes a radio access network (RAN) including a plurality of radio units (RUs) in which at least two RUs provides a shared cell and each RU provides a unique cell; identifying an operating mode for the UE based on the QoS in which the operating mode indicates whether the traffic flow is to be communicated using a shared cell or a unique cell operating mode; and causing the UE to communicate the traffic flow using the shared cell the unique cell operating mode.

A method, system, and apparatus for optimizing a connection of a station (STA) in a mesh network of a plurality of 802.11 access points (APs) carried out by a client steering daemon (CSD) running on an AP of the plurality of APs. The CSD may calculate a cost ratio based on a plurality of metrics from a list and compare the signal strength information against a predetermined value. Based on the outcome of the signal strength comparison the CSD may analyze risk for the STA, determine a course of action for the STA based on the calculating, comparing, and analyzing and send instructions to a plurality of CSDs running on each of the plurality of APs for the course of action. The course of action may be keeping a STA associated with a current interface, guiding a STA to a destination interface, or kicking a STA to a destination interface.
