This application provides a cell measurement method and terminal device. The cell measurement method includes: first determining, by a terminal device, whether a cell meets a first preset condition; and when the terminal device determines that the cell meets the first preset condition, measuring or evaluating, by the terminal device, the cell by using a first period; or when the terminal device determines that the cell does not meet the first preset condition, measuring or evaluating, by the terminal device, the cell by using a second period, where the cell being a serving cell or a neighboring cell of the terminal device corresponds to different first preset conditions, and the first period is different from the second period.

A wireless network may provide system information by either a fixed periodic broadcast or broad-beam transmission or in response to a request by a user equipment (UE). The wireless network may broadcast (or broad-beam transmit) a signal that indicates to the UEs within a cell or zone coverage area that system information is to be transmitted on a fixed periodic schedule or in response to a request sent by one or more UEs.

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.

An apparatus and system to mitigate non-genuine handovers are described. The handovers include handovers based on fake measurements and handovers to malicious cells. To mitigate these, a mitigation procedure is initiated when excessive handovers are detected. Location information obtained from the UE, estimation of PHY layer properties by the serving and/or target cell, or AI modeling of the best serving cell at the UE location is used to determine whether the handover is valid. If not, the handover is canceled and the UE is stopped from initiating new handovers for a specified time, the UE may be instructed to perform re-authentication with the network, and/or the serving cell recommends to the network authentication entity to revoke the UE authentication. To ensure that the target cell is legitimate, an AI model is used to classify the target cell as known/unknown and the result sent to the network in NAS signaling.

To provide a relay apparatus for relay communication between a wireless base station and a communication terminal, the relay apparatus including: a relay function management switch for switching from on to off a relay function for relaying communications between the wireless base station and the communication terminal based on the satisfaction of a predetermined condition; and a signal transmitter for transmitting, to the communication terminal, establishing a wireless communication connection with the relay apparatus, a signal to execute handover to a handover destination which is identified before the predetermined condition has been satisfied if the predetermined condition has been satisfied.

An embodiment of the present disclosure provides a method for supporting paging of a low complexity UE, including: determining, by a target base station during handover of a UE, whether a source base station during the handover supports low complexity UE, and transmitting paging capability information of the UE to a Mobility Management Entity MME in response to determining that the source base station does not support low complexity UE, wherein the paging capability information of the UE is used by the MME for paging the UE. The method provided by embodiments of the present disclosure is able to enhance paging with respect to the low complexity UE.

An apparatus, a system, a computer-readable media, and a method. The method is to be performed at an apparatus of a gNB configured to host a management service (MnS) producer of provisioning function and a mobility robustness optimization (MRO) function in a distributed self-organizing network (D-SON). The method includes: decoding one or more requests from a MRO management function sent on a service-based layer of the D-SON, the one or more requests indicating attributes to be set by the gNB, the attributes including MRO targets, ranges of handover parameters, and a control parameter to enable or disable the MRO function; based on the one or more requests, setting the targets and the ranges of handover parameters for the MRO function, and enabling the MRO function; and in response to a determination that a MRO performance does not meet the targets, performing updates on the attributes to optimize the MRO performance.

The present invention provides a mobile communication system sub-network comprising a macrocell base station, and a plurality of small cell base stations, the plurality of small cell base stations being in wireless communication with the macrocell base station, wherein each small cell base station is either in direct connection with the macrocell base station or is in connection with the macrocell base station via one or more other small cell base stations, wherein the macrocell base station is arranged to configure a UE device having a RRC connection to the macrocell base station with candidate small cell base station information for enabling the UE device to switch autonomously between small cell base stations, and wherein the macrocell base station is arranged to configure the small cell base stations with small cell base station configuration information.

The present disclosure provides a communication method. The method includes acquiring route information of a route, which includes a destination; determining a first resource scheduling for a communication connection of a mobile device based on the route information of the route; determining whether the communication connection of the mobile device based on the first resource schedule requires more resources than a second alternative resource scheduling; and if so, using the second alternative resource scheduling for the communication connection of the mobile device.

Cellular communications, such as 5G cellular, may be a primary link between cell phones and a base station. Such cellular communications may be desirable, due to a high link rate. When the cellular communications are denied, a tactical waveform may be used to bridge communications between the cell phones and the base station. The tactical waveform may be transmitted between tactical radios coupled with the cell phones. The tactical radios may include an application layer coupled with an application layer of the cell phone, such that an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) of the cell phone may remain unchanged.
