A wireless communication device (WCD), network node, and methods for determining whether to steer traffic from a first access point to a second access point according to an access network selection policy. The WCD obtains at least one input parameter for use in an algorithm that is part of the access network selection policy, obtains a random value, and determines whether to steer traffic from the first access point to the second access point based at least in part on the at least one obtained input parameter and the obtained random value. The at least one input parameter may be determined by the network node and signaled to the WCD. The network node may signal an indication to the WCD to cause the WCD to apply a random value when determining whether to steer traffic in accordance with the access network selection policy.

Disclosed herein is a technique for enabling mobile computing devices to share observation information using low-energy communication protocols. This observation information can include network connectivity information and GPS location information that is either known to or being sought out by a mobile computing device. When observation information (if any) maintained by a mobile computing device does not satisfy a threshold level of confidence, the mobile computing device can query neighboring mobile computing devices for corresponding observation information that satisfies the threshold level of confidence. Conversely, the mobile computing device can be configured to advertise observation information to the neighboring mobile computing devices when the observation information satisfies the threshold level of confidence. In this manner, the mobile computing devices can collaboratively share information in an attempt to reduce the significant workload that is otherwise required when working in isolation to establish network connectivity and determine GPS location information.

The present disclosure provides a method and a device in a node used for wireless communication. A first node receives a first signal to determine a first channel quality; determines a first speed; and determines whether a first resource pool comprises a first time-frequency resource block; selects a target time-frequency resource block from the first resource pool; and transmits a second signal in the target time-frequency resource block; herein, the first speed is a speed of mobility of the first node; the first resource pool comprises multiple time-frequency resource blocks, whether the first resource pool comprises the first time-frequency resource block is dependent on the first speed. The present disclosure takes into account the speed of mobility of a user in resources sensing, thus ensuring that the channel quality which autonomously selects resources meets the current transmission requirements.

Access, mobility management and regulatory services are supported for satellite access to a 5G core network. A coverage area, e.g., a country or region, is divided into fixed virtual cells and fixed tracking areas. The UE receives configuration information for fixed cells and fixed tracking areas associated with a serving PLMN. The fixed cells and the fixed tracking areas are defined, independently of each other, as fixed geographic areas. A position of the UE is used to determine a fixed serving cell and/or fixed tracking area for the UE. A service operation for the UE is enabled for the serving PLMN based on the fixed serving cell or the fixed tracking area. A fixed cell may be associated with an overlapping fixed tracking area by assigning a color code to the tracking area and appending the color code to an ID for the fixed cell.

Control circuitry in a terminal apparatus generates one or more groups, each group including a selected plurality of communication methods whose total value of specific absorption rates (SARs) is equal to or less than a threshold value, and generates group information indicating the one or more groups. N transmitters transmit transmission data to a plurality of communication stations that respectively support the plurality of communication methods included in one group that is indicated by the group information, by using corresponding communication methods.

Wireless service is provided to a service area using limited resources dynamically reallocated to maximize capacity in high demand regions. An antenna array transmits a plurality of downlink beams, each covering a respective region of a service area. An antenna management logic identifies a high demand region serviced by downlink beams transmitted from a first set of antennas at a first power level and a low demand region serviced by downlink beams transmitted from a second set of antennas at a second power level. The antenna management logic reconfigures the antenna array to provide the wireless service to the high demand region at a power level higher than the first power level, and to provide the wireless service to the low demand region at a power level lower than the second power level, such that the antenna array does not exceed a maximum power level available from a power supply.

An apparatus is provided which includes a first connection unit configured to provide connection to a user equipment, and a processor configured to detect whether a handover of the user equipment is required, and, if a handover is required, to establish mobility information regarding the mobility state of the apparatus as mobility information of the user equipment, and to send the mobility information to at least one network element involved in the handover of the user equipment.

Example implementations include a method, apparatus and computer-readable medium of wireless communication over a sidelink between a first user equipment (UE) and a second UE. The first UE may identify a configuration for discontinuous reception (DRX) for direct link communications with a second UE. The first UE may determine a channel busy ratio (CBR) based on a plurality of CBR measurement occasions within a time window prior to a direct link transmission based on the configuration for DRX. The first UE may determine whether to perform a congestion control on the direct link transmission based on the CBR. The first UE may perform a direct link transmission subject to a channel occupancy ratio limit.

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a wireless communication device may receive mobility state information associated with an integrated access backhaul (IAB) node. The mobility state information may include information associated with at least one of: a level of mobility of the IAB node, or a change in mobility of the IAB node. The wireless communication device may perform an operation based at least in part on the mobility state information associated with the IAB node. In some aspects, a wireless communication device may determine that mobility state information associated with an IAB node is to be transmitted, and may transmit the mobility state information associated with the IAB node based at least in part on the determination. Numerous other aspects are provided.
