Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a communication method, and a communications apparatus and system. User equipment can communicate with the network device by using a plurality of beams, the plurality of beams include a first beam and at least one second beam, the first beam is a serving beam used by the user equipment to listen to control information, and the second beam is a beam other than the serving beam. The method includes: determining, by the user equipment, that the serving beam is blocked; and obtaining, by the user equipment, a first message from the network device by using the first beam or the second beam. According to the method, the UE may determine that the serving beam is blocked, and further obtain the first message sent by the network device, thereby eliminating an adverse effect caused by the blocking of the serving beam. Correspondingly, the network device may also determine that the serving beam is blocked, and further send the first message, thereby eliminating an adverse effect caused by the blocking of the serving beam.

Provided are a wireless communication method and a base station. The method is applied to a current serving base station of an aerial user equipment and includes: selecting a part of candidate base stations from multiple candidate base stations as candidate serving base stations of the aerial user equipment; transmitting, to the aerial user equipment, a measurement instruction for the candidate serving base stations; and selecting a next serving base station of the aerial user equipment from the candidate serving base stations according to measurement results.

There is provided a mechanism capable of processing a service using a plurality of sensor devices in a distributed manner while suppressing a communication load and providing the service. A control device is arranged on a local network side with respect to a gateway between an internet and a local network. The control device includes: a control unit configured to transmit or receive information regarding one or more sensor devices wirelessly connected to a first cell associated with the control device to or from another control device associated with a second cell.

A method and a system for forming a device network is provided. The method comprises providing a plurality of network devices and a plurality of gateways in a physical environment, collecting position data of the plurality of gateways, selecting a network device out of the plurality of network devices, and selecting a first gateway based on the position data. The method further comprises connecting the network device to the first gateway, if the total number of the network devices connected to the first gateway does not exceed a predefined maximum number of network devices per gateway, and selecting a second gateway based on the position data and connecting the network device to the second gateway, if the total number of the network devices connected to the first gateway exceeds the predefined maximum number of network devices per gateway.

A method that enables handoff between a bot and human is described herein. The method includes monitoring a conversation between a user and a first bot to detect a trigger, wherein the trigger is detected by assessing one or more factors associated with the user, wherein assessing the one or more factors comprises a determination that a user frustration level exceeds a predetermined threshold. The method also includes, in response to a detected trigger, determining a type of a handoff to be executed, wherein the handoff is to a second bot or a human support agent and the type of handoff is based on an experience of the user. Additionally, the method includes executing the determined handoff to the second bot or a human support agent, wherein the second bot or a human support agent engages the user in conversation to execute functionality desired by the user.
