A method performed in a network node for identifying UEs which are non-compliant with modified CRS operation. The network node enables CRS operation according to a first configuration for a first period. The network node analyzes Information Elements (IE) in RRC Connection Re-establishment Request messages received from UEs during the first period. The network node generates a first set containing identities of UEs whose values in reestablishmentCause IE in the RRC Connection Re-establishment Request messages received during the first period are “otherFailure”. When the first period is finished, the network node enables CRS operation according a second configuration different from the first configuration for a second period. The network node analyzes IE in RRC Reestablishment Request messages received from UEs during the second period. The network node generates a set containing identities of non-compliant UEs based on the first set and analyzing IE in the RRC Reestablishment Request messages received during the second period.

A method for call addition control in a User Agent (UA) or a call service system is provided. The UA or the call service system receives or initiates a call addition request comprising information of a called party during a call. The UA or the call service system determines whether the called party is already present in the call. The UA or the call service system blocks the call addition request in response to the called party being already present in the call.

An operation method of a first terminal may comprise: configuring a Uu access link with a base station, and receiving a first message from the base station, the first message including a relay RNTI for identifying the first terminal, a node address of the base station, and a RAP entity ID for identifying a RAP entity configured for the first terminal; configuring a relay link with a second terminal when communication with the base station is disconnected; requesting link switching by transmitting to the base station a second message via the second terminal, the second message including the relay RNTI, node address, and RAP entity ID; and receiving a response to the second message from the base station via the second terminal, and switching a link with the base station from the Uu access link to the relay link.

In a wireless data network, a Distributed Unit (DU) receives Uplink (UL) server data from server applications in wireless User Equipment (UEs). The DU processes the UL server data with an UL DU Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request (HARQ), generates UL HARQ Acknowledgements (ACKs) based on the UL server data, and transfers the UL server data to a Central Unit (CU). The CU receives the UL server data, processes the UL server data with an UL CU MAC, and transfers the UL server data. The CU receives (Downlink) DL server data for the server applications in the wireless UEs and transfers the DL server data to the DU. The DU receives the DL server data from the CU, processes the DL server data with a DL DU MAC comprising a DL DU HARQ, and transfers the DL server data and the UL HARQ ACKs to the wireless UEs.

Disclosed is a session management method based on protocol data unit (PDU) session anchor (PSA) relocation, and an device performing the session management method. The session management method may include determining to perform PSA relocation, establishing a new additional PSA device through the PSA relocation, and releasing an existing additional PSA device, in which the PSA relocation may allow traffic moving towards the existing additional PSA device to move to the new additional PSA device.

This disclosure provides methods, devices and systems that facilitate mobility of wireless communication devices configured for multi-link operation (MLO). Particular aspects more specifically relate to facilitating fast basic service set (BSS) transitions by wireless communication devices that support MLO. For example, some aspects provide support for station (STA) multi-link device (MLD) roaming between access point (AP) MLDs, from an AP MLD to a non-MLO AP, or from a non-MLO AP to an AP MLD. In some aspects, a STA MLD may be configured to use a medium access control (MAC) service access point address (MAC-SAP address) of the AP MLD when re-associating or communicating with a legacy AP or with an AP MLD. In such aspects, the MAC-SAP address may be used by all STAs of the non-AP MLD for fast BSS transitions.
