Some demonstrative embodiments include devices, systems and/or methods of Time-Division Duplexing (TDD) Uplink-Downlink (UL-DL) configuration management. For example, a node may communicate a message including a cell identifier identifying a first cell controlled by the node, and a TDD configuration update to update at least one other node, which controls at least one second cell, with a TDD UL-DL configuration allocated by the node for communication within the first cell.

A method in a wireless terminal operating in a 3GPP wireless communications network for controlling using MPTCP with a WLAN network, The method comprises receiving from the 3GPP wireless communications network system information comprising a condition for MPTCP with a WLAN network, the condition being associated with mobility characteristics of the wireless terminal. The method further comprises determining a parameter indicative of mobility characteristics of the wireless terminal and disabling MPTCP with a WLAN network if the parameter indicative of mobility characteristics indicates that mobility of the wireless terminal is at or above a value defined in the condition.

A method and system for controlling service of user equipment devices (UEs) by a base station in a wireless communication system. In an example arrangement, the base station detects that uplink noise on its air interface is threshold high and that multiple UEs being served by the base station are threshold distant from the base station. In response to detecting this combination of factors, the base selects at least one of the threshold distant UEs for the base station to stop serving, with the selection being based on the UE having highest uplink transmission power among the multiple served UEs that are threshold distant from the base station, and the base station then causes handover of the selected UE from the base station.

A device, configured as a coordinator for a wireless IoT network, may include a memory configured to store instructions and a processor configured to execute the instructions to identify Internet of Things (IoT) devices associated with the wireless IoT network; determine a clock error rate for the wireless IoT network; determine a last synchronization time; determine a data time period during which one or more of the IoT devices are expected to send data to the device; and set a wakeup time period for the device based on the determined clock error rate, last synchronization time, and data time period. The processor may be further configured to enter a sleep mode; exit the sleep mode when the wakeup time period begins; and perform a clock synchronization between the device and the plurality of IoT devices during the wakeup time period.

A system and a method for synchronization and link acquisition in cellular wireless systems with directional antennas are disclosed. In an embodiment a method on includes determining, by the UE, a subset of the antennas for communication, using, by the UE, the subset of the antennas to perform a measurement on at least one reference signal from a network controller, reporting, by the UE, channel state information (CSI) based on the measurement on the at least one reference signal and using, by the UE, the subset of the antennas to perform the communication with the network controller.

There are provided a method and system of controlling traffic in a cellular network comprising at least one site characterized by a plurality of cells sharing a common antenna and operating in different frequencies. The method comprises processing performance-related data and network topology-related to obtain, for each cell of the plurality of cells, a performance score, thus giving rise to a set of frequency-dependent scores associated with the shared antenna; and enabling provisioning of the shared antenna in accordance with the set of frequency-dependent scores associated with the shared antenna. When no leading frequency is configured for the shared antenna, the provisioning is enabled merely when each score in the set of frequency-dependent scores meets respective adjustment criteria; and when a frequency among the different frequencies is configured as a leading frequency, the provisioning is enabled merely when a score corresponding to the leading frequency meets an adjustment criterion for the leading frequency.
