According to one aspect of the present disclosure, a method is disclosed in a user equipment (UE) for performing downlink measurements on a plurality of cells according to a received measurement configuration. The UE receives measurement configuration information from a radio base station supporting a serving cell of a wireless communications network, the measurement configuration information including an indication of a variably sized measurement bandwidth over which measurements are to be performed on the serving cell and one or more neighbor cells. The UE performs measurements on each of the serving cell and the one or more neighbor cells over the measurement bandwidth, and reports the measurements to the network.

A cell selection method includes: in a case where a first dynamic mode cell is reselected from a first static mode cell, behavior mode reference information is acquired; a target behavior mode scheme matching with the first static mode cell, the first dynamic mode cell and the behavior mode reference information is searched from among multiple alternative behavior mode schemes, where each of the multiple alternative behavior mode schemes records a respective cell handover process where a starting cell and an ending cell are cells in a static mode and a middle cell is a cell in a dynamic mode; and in a case where the target behavior mode scheme is searched out, the cell reselection is performed by using the target behavior mode scheme based on the first dynamic mode cell.

A network redirection method and a terminal are provided. In the embodiments of the present invention, an access network device delivers network switching instruction information used for redirection to a terminal. The network switching instruction information instructs the terminal to obtain a core network type of a target core network of redirection to access a target core network based on the core network type. Network switching between different types of core networks can be implemented without depending on interfaces between the different types of core networks, thereby improving reliability of network switching between different types of core networks.

An IAB node communicates over at least two radio interfaces including a first interface and a second interface, the first interface being configured to establish a radio resource control (RRC) connection with a donor node, the second interface being configured to serve one or more cells to communicate with one or more child nodes. In an example embodiment and mode the IAB node comprises processor circuitry and transmitter circuitry. The processor circuitry is configured to establish an RRC connection with a first donor node, and perform an update of the RRC connection to be used for a second donor node. The transmitter circuitry is configured to transmit, using the second interface, a re-establishment indication, upon performing the update of the RRC connection. The re-establishment indication is used to request that each of the one or more child nodes initiate an RRC re-establishment procedure. During the RRC re-establishment procedure, the one or more cells are considered as candidate cells.

Provided are an electronic device and a method for wireless communication, and a computer-readable storage medium. The electronic device comprises: a processing circuit, configured to: send, by means of radio resource control signaling, configuration information of a universal transmission configuration indication state to a user equipment, wherein the universal transmission configuration indication state comprises a transmission configuration indication state of a downlink beam of a serving cell of the user equipment and a transmission configuration indication state of a downlink beam of a non-serving cell other than the serving cell; and determine activation information of a downlink beam of a target cell, wherein the user equipment is to be switched to the target cell.

Examples of the present disclosure provide a data transmission method performed by a terminal. The method includes: sending a resource block (RB) location switching request to a base station; receiving, from the base station, feedback information for the RB location switching request; and sending data on an RB-before-switching or on an RB-after-switching according to the feedback information.

Embodiments of this disclosure provide a communication method, and an associated communication apparatus, medium, and chip. In a communication method, a target access network device receives first information, where the first information indicates a relationship between a first network slice in a first network and a second network slice in a second network, and the first network is different from the second network. The target access network device performs access control from a terminal device to the target access network device based on at least the first information. In this manner, in embodiments of this disclosure, the target access network device can perform access control on the terminal device during cross-network access, to reduce an access latency, reduce a service interruption problem caused by session rejection of the terminal device, and ensure service continuity of the terminal device.

Embodiments of this application provide a communication method and a related device. In the method, a network management device receives first information from an integrated access and backhaul (IAB) node and generates first configuration information based on the first information, and sends the first configuration information to the IAB node.
