A method for dispatching radio coverage drones to a geographical area of a failing node in a radio network, wherein the radio coverages drones are configured to re-establish operability of the failing node is disclosed. The method comprises steps being performed by a network node of generating (102) a radio coverage map, wherein the generated radio coverage map covers the geographical area of the failing node and geographical areas of adjacent nodes, identifies at least one mobile communication device having radio coverage from at least one of the adjacent nodes, and defines a size of the geographical area of the failing node, dynamically calibrating (103) the defined size of the geographical area of the failing node of the dynamically generated radio coverage map by: calculating (103a) a first distance between the identified mobile communication device and a selected one of the adjacent nodes, wherein the identified mobile communication device has coverage from the selected adjacent node while being geographically closer to the failing node than to the selected adjacent node, deducing (103b) a second distance between the failing node and the selected adjacent node, determining (103d) the actual size of the geographical area of the failing node based on the second and the first distance, and determining (104) a number of radio coverage drones to be dispatched to the geographical area of the failing node, wherein the number of radio coverage drones is based on to the actual size of the geographical area of the failing node. Corresponding computer program product, arrangement, network node, and system are also disclosed.

Embodiments of this application provide a cell selection method and an apparatus, and relate to the communications field. A terminal may determine a first measurement frequency and a 5G anchor cell at the first measurement frequency based on prior historical information. The terminal may shorten evaluation duration corresponding to a 5G anchor cell that meets a preferred condition at a first measurement frequency, so as to improve a probability that the terminal camps on the 5G anchor cell.

A terminal including: a reception unit configured to receive, from a base station apparatus, configuration information of a time window for measurement based on an SSB; and a control unit configured to measure based on the SSB, wherein the configuration information includes, as a time length of the time window, a time length selected from a plurality of time lengths including a time length shorter than a predetermined time length, and wherein the control unit performs measurement based on the SSB within a time window of a time length included in the configuration information.

The present disclosure relates to random access methods and terminal devices. One example method includes determining a first random access time-frequency resource corresponding to a first network slice service, where the first network slice service is a network slice service that is to be initiated, determining a random access type corresponding to the first network slice service, determining a second random access time-frequency resource from the first random access time-frequency resource based on the random access type, where the second random access time-frequency resource is a random access time-frequency resource corresponding to the random access type, and initiating random access based on the second random access time-frequency resource.

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive a first edge application server (EAS) discovery message from an application client that is external to the UE. The UE may transmit a second EAS discovery message to an edge enabler server (EES) based at least in part on the first EAS discovery message. The UE may receive, from the EES, an EAS response message. The EAS response message may indicate a failure of a discovery request associated with the application client or the EAS response message may indicate an EAS associated with the application client. The UE may transmit an indication of the failure of the discovery request or an indication of the EAS to the application client. Numerous other aspects are described.

Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for wireless communications by a mobile repeater. The mobile repeater measures broadcast signals from one or more target cells as the mobile repeater moves through a network. The mobile repeater selects one of the target cells, based on the measuring and side information. The mobile repeater forwards signals between a user equipment (UE) and the selected target cell.
