A device may receive measurement reports for a target device, where the measurement reports include information regarding cells. The device may process the measurement reports and determine whether the target device is airborne. The device may determine, based on determining whether the target device is airborne, whether the target device is authorized to be airborne. The device may determine, based on determining whether the target device is authorized to be airborne, an altitude of the target device to confirm whether the target device is airborne. The device may perform, based on a result of confirming whether the target device is airborne, an action to identify the target device as an unauthorized airborne device and/or manage the target device.

Systems and methods for estimating locations of signal shadowing obstructions in a wireless communication network are disclosed. The method involves at a network equipment, receiving from User Equipments (UEs), an identification of neighboring UEs from which the UEs have received a reference signal via a non-line-of-sight (NLoS) sidelink transmission. The method also involves estimating locations of signal shadowing obstructions based on location information of UEs associated with the NLoS sidelink transmissions, and configuring communications between the network equipment and at least one UE based on an estimated location of at least one signal shadowing obstruction.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described for service continuity in make-before-break handover procedures. A user equipment (UE) may receive grants for two or more concurrent communications with a source base station and a target base station during the handover procedure, where the UE may be incapable of performing the two or more concurrent communications. The UE may use one or more priority rules to determine communication priority. The one or more priority rules identify one or more channel types that have a higher priority than other channel types, may identify whether communications with the source base station or the target base station have priority, among other examples.

This application provides a communication method and a communications apparatus. A first entity buffers data, so that a packet loss caused by backhaul link switching or a radio link failure can be avoided as much as possible. The communication method is applied to a relay system. The relay system includes a first node, a source node, and a target node, and the source node provides a service for the first node. The method includes: determining, by the first node, to be handed over from the source node to the target node; and storing, by the first node, data buffered in at least one first entity, where the first entity is a radio link control RLC entity or an adaptation layer entity.

The A voice call processing method includes, when a terminal meets at least one of two preset conditions, performing handover from a Long Term Evolution (LTE) network currently accessed by the terminal to a non-LTE standard network, and performing a circuit switched (CS) voice call process on the non-LTE standard network.

In one embodiment, a mobile receiver of a mobile station in communication with a current base station of a plurality of base stations receives hello packets from one or more base stations the plurality of base stations, each hello packet including a base station identifier that identifies which base station transmitted that packet. The receiver determines, based on the hello packets, signal strength values associated with each of the plurality of base stations. The receiver periodically analyzes the signal strength values associated with the current base station, to determine whether those signal strength values exceed a threshold value associated with the current base station.

Disclosed is a dedicated control channel for a WLAN network. A number of access points are networked together and communicate data necessary to propagate the WLAN over a backhaul channel, however a dedicated radio on each access point is used to communicate control information between the access points. The control information is communicated over a control channel that is different from the client facing channels or bands, and the backhaul channel. In some embodiments, the control channel is sub 1 GHz.
