Novel techniques are described for generation, distribution, and management of route connectivity optimization (RCO) mapping. For example, as mobile devices traverse travel routes serviced by one or more mobile networks, they can experience periods of different levels of connectivity with the mobile network(s). Embodiments can collect route segment connectivity data as experienced by consumer devices during traversal through mobile networks (e.g., indicating, for each route segment, which carriers are providing service to a mobile device, the level of service being provided, etc.). A RCO can be computed and stored for the set of route segments as a function of the route segment connectivity data. The RCO can be requested by consumers, and a corresponding link can be generated. Selecting the link can provide the consumers with remote access to the RCO, with which the consumers can generate connectivity-optimized route guidance maps.

Other embodiments are disclosed.

A device and a method for reducing power consumption of an electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a display device, a battery, and at least one processor configured to be operatively connected to the display device, wherein the processor may determine whether to perform a handover to a second communication network, based on whether the display device is activated and a data throughput, in a state of connection to a first communication network among a plurality of communication networks supportable by the electronic device, and perform a handover to the second communication network when it is determined to perform the handover to the second communication network.

An unmanned aerial vehicle uses a calculation unit to calculate a distance between the unmanned aerial vehicle and a controller, uses a search unit to search for an available moving body communication line when the distance exceeds a predetermined threshold in a case where the unmanned aerial vehicle and the controller are directly communicating with each other, and uses a communication continuation processing unit to perform predetermined processing for continuing the communication depending on a search result. The unmanned aerial vehicle, the controller, and the management device may be linked to a block-chain network by communication via the block-chain network in association with processing.

A method and base station are disclosed. The base station comprises a transceiver and a processor. The base station transmits a system information block (SIB) to a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU), wherein the SIB indicates random access transmission uplink resources. After transmitting the SIB, the base station receives a random access preamble from the WTRU. After receiving the random access preamble, the base station receives, using one or more of the uplink resources indicated by the SIB, a first message from the WTRU, wherein the first message includes a first radio network temporary identifier (RNTI) of the WTRU. After receiving the first message, the base station transmits a second message to the WTRU, wherein the second message is derived from a second RNTI, the second RNTI being different than the first RNTI. The base station may be configured to communicate with the WTRU on a plurality of cells.

The present disclosure presents method, network nodes and computer program for improving a dual band user equipment, UE/STA, mobility from a first access node, e.g. an eNB, arranged to operate according to a first radio access technology to at least one second access node, e.g. a WLAN AP, arranged to operate according to a second radio access technology. A communications interface is arranged for direct communication between the first access node and the respective second access node. The method, as performed in the first access node, comprises retrieving (S32) resource management related information of the second access node relevant for the user equipment UE/STA over the communications interface. Radio resources provided to the dual-mode user equipment, UE/STA, by both the first and the second access node, are coordinately controlled (S33), over the communications interface, based on the retrieved resource management related information and internal resource management related information for the first node.
