An Integrated Access and Backhaul (JAB) node incorporates two functions, a so-called “base station” function and a so-called “mobile terminal” function. In order to limit the interferences between base stations, all IAB nodes in the same network must be synchronised with one another. In order to ensure this synchronisation, each IAB node may use a time shift value transmitted by its parent node. However, since an IAB architecture is an arborescent architecture, errors in measuring an estimated time shift value for a given IAB node have repercussions on the measurements of estimated time shift values for its child node and so on. Accordingly, the “base station” function of a child IAB node is not activated as long as a time shift value determined by its parent node does not meet a synchronisation criterion.

A method for operating a transmission-reception point (TRP) includes determining a first cycle of backhaul communications modes for the TRP, each backhaul communications mode of the first cycle is associated with a different time period and prompts the TRP to either transmit or receive using a subset of communications beams available to the TRP during an associated time period, wherein the communications beams used by the TRP and neighboring TRPs of the TRP in each associated time period are selected to prevent mutual interference, and wherein at least one backhaul communications mode of the first cycle prompts the TRP to either transmit or receive using all of the communications beams available to the TRP, determining a backhaul frame configuration for the TRP in accordance with the first cycle, the backhaul frame configuration specifying an arrangement of subframes of a frame used for backhaul communications.

A moving system comprising a master controller for monitoring and controlling a master operation comprising one or more individual movers such that each mover arrives at predefined end point at selected times. Each mover includes a mover control system that interacts with the master controller and has a predefined virtual vector path with one or more defined end points. The predefined virtual vector path comprises a plurality of discrete points, wherein each discrete point has a vector axis for use by the master controller and the mover control system to direct the mover to move such that it arrives at each defined end point at a selected time. In operation, the master controller functions to modify the predefined virtual path and sends commands to the mover control system in response to changes in the master operations.

In some embodiments, a network node has an associated cell identifier (“cell ID”). The network node creates a primary synchronization signal (PSS), a first secondary synchronization signal, and one or more additional secondary synchronization signals. The combination of signals defines the cell ID. The cell ID is one of N possible cell IDs and N is determined by multiplying: a number of possible values for the PSS; a number of possible values for the first secondary synchronization signal; and for each additional secondary synchronization signal, a number of possible values for the additional secondary synchronization signal, such that N is greater than a legacy number of possible cell IDs determined by multiplying the number of possible values for the PSS and the number of possible values for the first secondary synchronization signal. The network node transmits the combination of the created signals.

The invention provides a method and system for automatically managing a plurality of Wi-Fi access points using a network management cloud. In order to manage the plurality of Wi-Fi access points, a connection is established between one or more Wi-Fi access points and a client device using the network management cloud. The network management cloud, then, receives and analyzes information from the client device related to controlling one or more Wi-Fi access points. Thereafter, the network management cloud determines one or more operation settings for the one or more Wi-Fi access points based on the analyzed information. The one or more operation settings of the one or more Wi-Fi access points are then configured using the network management cloud. Thus, the one or more Wi-Fi access points are configured by the client device through the network management cloud.

The present invention relates to a user device, a base station, and data transmission and reception methods to be performed by a user device and a base station in a communications system. The user device comprises circuitry which, in operation, calculates the starting location of a paging region comprising resources in which user devices are paged, the paging region including paging information for paging said user device; and determines an offset with respect to the starting location of the paging region, the offset indicating the location of the paging information for paging said user device relative to the starting location of the paging region.

An apparatus implemented in a master access point (AP) selects at least one basic service set (BSS) from one or more neighbor BSSs to form a spatial reuse group (SRG). The apparatus then performs coordinated spatial reuse (CSR) in the SRG with a set of overlapping basic service set (OBSS) power detection (PD) parameters.

Methods, systems, and devices for steering in mesh networks by a serving device are described. The method may include determining that a client device within a range of the serving device is eligible for steering, where the client device is outside a set of one or more trigger client devices, requesting, based on the determination, a radio resource management report from at least one trigger client device of the set of one or more trigger client devices, receiving the radio resource management report from the at least one trigger client device of the set of one or more trigger client devices, and performing a steering operation of the client device from the serving device to a target device based on the radio resource management report from the at least one trigger client device.
