A coordinated multiple-AP system and method for alleviating AP overloading, sticky clients, and RF interference for use in a non-WLAN Controller (WLC) communication environment, such as a home network. In the present system and method AP periodically measure the communication environment and share the measured data with other APs in the same communication environment. The shared communication environment data is utilized to collaboratively determine best data transmission scenarios for supported clients. Best data transmission scenarios include but are not limited to optimized Client Link Management and Radio Resource Management.

A multimode base station and a system. The multimode base station includes a wireless transceiver module, a first processing module, a second processing module, a selection and configuration module, and a network connection module. The first processing module is connected to the wireless transceiver module. The second processing module is connected to the network connection module. The first processing module is connected to the second processing module. The multimode base station operates in base mode, DM mode, or dual mode. The selection and configuration module is configured to receive a mode setting instruction from a user, and set an operating mode of the multimode base station. The multimode base station in base mode is equivalent to a base station. The multimode base station in DM mode is equivalent to a DECT manager. The multimode base station in dual mode is equivalent to a base station and a DECT manager.

A system for converging fifth generation (5G) communication systems for supporting higher data rates beyond fourth generation (4G) systems with a technology for Internet of things (IoT) is provided. The communication method and system may be applied to intelligent services based on the 5G communication technology and the IoT-related technology, such as smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car, connected car, health care, digital education, smart retail, security and safety services. A system is provided for determining system information validity by acquiring and storing a first system information block and other system information, including information on a public land mobile network (PLMN) identity and a value tag, and determining whether the stored system information is valid for the cell. As another example, a terminal and base station are provided for performing beam failure detection and a recovery procedure using first and second configuration information for beam failure recovery (BFR) and if failure is detected, initiating a first random access (RA) procedure and if second configuration information is received while the first RA procedure is ongoing, terminating the first RA procedure and initiating a second RA procedure based on the second configuration information.

An example technique may include controlling receiving, by a user device from a serving cell, a first control information including a scheduling grant that identifies a resource to be used for communication between the user device and the serving cell, controlling receiving, by the user device, at least a part of a second control information from one or more other cells that are not serving the user device, and determining, by the user device, whether or not to reject the scheduling grant from the serving cell based on at least the first control information received from the serving cell and the part of the second control information received from the one or more other cells that are not serving the user device.

A Machine-to-machine (M2M) terminal (11) comprises a radio communication unit (111) and a controller (112). The radio communication unit (111) is configured to communicate with a base station (13). The controller (112) is configured to change at least one of a cell selection operation, a cell reselection operation, and a handover operation according to whether a specific coverage enhancement processing is required or according to whether the specific coverage enhancement processing is supported by at least one of a cell (13) in which the M2M terminal (11) camps on and a neighbouring cell (14) of the cell (13) which the M2M terminal (11) camps on. It is thus possible to provide an improved technique for allowing the M2M terminal that is supporting a special coverage enhancement processing for M2M terminals to camp on an appropriate cell.

A narrow-bandwidth terminal device performs radio communication at a bandwidth narrower than a system bandwidth. The narrow-bandwidth terminal device in an idle state camps on a cell, and performs discontinuous reception of a signal transmitted from the cell. The terminal device also determines a reception condition of the signal, for example, whether the signal can be received. When it is determined that the signal cannot be received, the narrow-bandwidth terminal device moves out of a coverage area of the cell while continuing to perform the discontinuous reception. When it is determined that a discontinuous reception timer has been completed, the narrow-bandwidth terminal device continues to perform the discontinuous reception.

The disclosure is related to a method and a system for selecting a communication interface. The method is applicable to a local area network including multiple access points. A main access point is first selected. The main access point acquires every access point's information within a local area network. The information relates to the access points that are in an idle state or not performing a critical task. A target antenna can be selected for performing a specific function. For example, the target antenna can be used to scan for the channels specified in dynamic frequency selection. After that, the scan result may result in changing channels. Through the above mechanism, the resources in every AP within the LAN can be adequately used, and the performance of wireless communication can be effectively improved.
