Embodiments herein describe using a dual assess point (AP) to establish two access points that both are established by two individual radios (e.g., two 5 GHz radios). Generally, APs experience highly degraded performance when two co-located radios operate within the same band. In one embodiment, AP devices can deploy same band radios using a macro-micro cell approach. Thus, the AP may intelligently hand off client devices between the micro and macro cell in a way that optimizes the system for overall throughput and low packet latency while creating minimal oscillation of clients between cells. The embodiments in this disclosure disclose techniques that direct clients in a manner that optimizes these factors.

A user equipment (UE) is configured to receive a mobility configuration from a source cell of a network, wherein the mobility configuration includes at least one mobility measurement object, determine that a radio link failure (RLF) event has occurred on the source cell, searching for a primary cell (PCell) only on frequencies associated with the at least one mobility measurement object to reestablish a radio resource control (RRC) connection and reestablish the RRC connection with the PCell.

An apparatus, a system, a computer-readable media, and a method. The method is to be performed at an apparatus of a gNB configured to host a management service (MnS) producer of provisioning function and a mobility robustness optimization (MRO) function in a distributed self-organizing network (D-SON). The method includes: decoding one or more requests from a MRO management function sent on a service-based layer of the D-SON, the one or more requests indicating attributes to be set by the gNB, the attributes including MRO targets, ranges of handover parameters, and a control parameter to enable or disable the MRO function; based on the one or more requests, setting the targets and the ranges of handover parameters for the MRO function, and enabling the MRO function; and in response to a determination that a MRO performance does not meet the targets, performing updates on the attributes to optimize the MRO performance.

A user equipment is configured for use in a wireless communication system. The user equipment in this regard is configured to detect an orientation of an equipment coordinate frame defined for the user equipment relative to an earth coordinate frame defined for Earth. The user equipment is also configured to determine, based on the detected orientation, a set) of beams defined in the equipment coordinate frame which does not include any beam pointing in one or more predefined directions in the earth coordinate frame. The user equipment is further configured to perform a beam sweep or scan on the determined set of beams.

A method can include, by operation of first communication circuits, determining a quality of a plurality of communication frequencies according to wireless communications of a first protocol type; recording a quality of the communication frequencies; selecting communication frequencies for use by second communication circuits based on the quality of the communication frequencies; and wirelessly transmitting and receiving data with the second communication circuits according to a second protocol different than the first protocol; wherein the first and second communication circuits are collocated on the same device. Related devices and systems are also disclosed.

Wireless communication devices may directly communicate within groups of wireless communication devices using Layer-2 communications to implement push-to-talk type applications. In one implementation, a method may include generating a floor request signaling message to take control of a communication channel for a group. After transmitting data relating to the communications, a floor release signaling message may be generated and transmitted a number of times.

Embodiments includes methods performed by a user equipment, LT, to schedule a plurality of mutually-exclusive repetitive measurement activities in a wireless network. Such embodiments include receiving, from a network node serving the UE, a measurement configuration comprising: least one measurement timing configuration for each of a plurality of mutually exclusive repetitive measurement activities; and identification of a measurement gap pattern for performing the measurement activities. Such embodiments also include selecting an analysis period for a measurement schedule, and determining, over the analysis period, measurement load information related to the measurement configuration. Such embodiments also include determining, based on the measurement load information, a measurement time scaling factor and a scaled measurement time for each measurement activity. Some embodiments include determining a measurement schedule and/or performing measurements based on the scaled measurement time. Embodiments also include methods performed by network nodes, and UEs and network nodes configured to perform such methods.

During operation, an access point aggregates communication-performance information and behavior information in a wireless local area network (WLAN) corresponding to an electronic device, where the communication-performance information and the behavior information are aggregated over a time interval that is longer than an instance of a connection or association of the electronic device to the WLAN. Then, the access point provides the communication-performance information and the behavior information to a second electronic device. After receiving information about another instance of a connection or association of the electronic device to the WLAN, the access point provides a request to the second electronic device for historical information about communication performance and behavior of the electronic device in the WLAN. Moreover, after receiving the historical information, the access point selectively provides the transition recommendation in the WLAN to the electronic device, where the transition recommendation is based at least in part on the historical information.

A communication system includes a base station configuring an energy saving cell (ES cell) and a base station configuring a compensation cell (Comp cell). The ES cell is switchable between a switch-on state and a switch-off state. The Comp cell compensates for the coverage of the ES cell when the ES cell is in the switch-off state. Before the Comp cell starts compensating for the coverage, for example, before the ES cell decides to switch itself off in Step ST2101, in Step ST2201 for example, the base station configuring the ES cell notifies the UE being connected with the ES cell of the information about a Comp cell, for example, a Comp cell list.
