A terminal device having a relay function of relaying a signal received from a first peripheral terminal among peripheral terminals, which are other terminal devices available for direct communication with the terminal device, to a second peripheral terminal among the peripheral terminals, the terminal device including: a detection unit that detects the peripheral terminals; a storage unit that holds peripheral terminal information that is information on each of the peripheral terminals detected by the detection unit; and an information notification unit that transmits a notification message for notifying the other terminal devices of information on the terminal device, the notification message including the peripheral terminal information held by the storage unit.

Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a device detecting a disruption in a backhaul network and connecting to an aerial device to establish an alternate backhaul connection. The device may incorporate all or a portion of a terrestrial base station and may tilt one or more antenna beams skyward to search for the aerial device. The device may then relay communications from user equipment to the aerial device. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Aspects described herein relate to determining a group of relaying user equipment (UEs), selecting a sub-channel of multiple sub-channels for transmitting, to the group of relaying UEs, quality-of-service (QoS) traffic along with one or more other transmitting UEs in the time duration, and transmitting the QoS traffic to the group of relaying UEs in the same time duration over the sub-channel.

Processing hardware in a user equipment (UE) that communicates with a core network (CN) via a radio access network (RAN) can implement a method of routing outgoing traffic from the UE. The method includes determining a proscribed traffic descriptor which the UE is to match to rules defined by the CN that specify route selection for outgoing traffic (602). The method further includes preventing use of the traffic descriptor for application of a rule specifying route selection to the outgoing traffic (606).

System and method for collection, control and wireless transmission of environmental and other data. Nodes may wirelessly connect to other nodes to relay node specific information, collected sensor data or commands to and from other nodes and gateway nodes linked to a central database. Nodes in gateway mode may be capable of aggregating and relaying commands and data between other nodes and a centralized database. Nodes may bypass other nodes and/or gateway nodes and communicate directly with the central database via satellite or cellular link. Nodes may be self-contained devices, inclusive of a wind or solar power source and a battery, eliminating the need for an external power source. Nodes may be configured independently or as a system to monitor and control various types of equipment including utility lines or water systems or used to collect environmental data. Nodes may communicate on different channels/frequencies based on systematic or pseudo-random changes.

Dynamic path steering utilizing automatic generation of user threshold profiles is described. An example of a storage medium includes instructions for obtaining a threshold policy for a first application, the threshold policy including a set of threshold values for operational parameters; generating a migration score for a first user, the migration score based at least in part on a user score for the first user; generating a set of secondary threshold values for the first user based at least in part on the migration score and the set of threshold values; enabling operation of the first application for the first user using a first network uplink; monitoring network parameter values in operation of the first application; and upon detecting an operational parameter value exceeding a secondary threshold value, migrating operation of the first application for the first user from the first network uplink to a second network uplink.

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a first wireless node may receive a first indication of an energy-saving configuration for traffic routing associated with a traffic path between the first wireless node and a second wireless node. The first wireless node may transmit a second indication of the energy-saving configuration for traffic routing to the second wireless node. The first wireless node may communicate, with the second wireless node on the traffic path, in accordance with the energy-saving configuration. Numerous other aspects are described.
