In an example, a wired network device receives a first join message originating from a client device associated with a first wireless access point (WAP) connected to another wired network device in a broadcast domain. An entry corresponding to the client device is created in a remote receiver record of the wired network device. In response to the client device transitioning from the first WAP to a second WAP connected to the wired network device, it is determined that the client device is locally connected to the wired network device. Intention of the client device to receive multicast traffic is identified. A second join message directed to the network address of the multicast group and distributed in the broadcast domain. A traffic flow path for the multicast traffic via the wired network device and the second WAP to the client device is configured.

This application discloses an SN synchronization method and apparatus for multicast broadcast service, a device, and a readable storage medium. The method includes: obtaining a first radio interface SN of a first multicast broadcast service received in a first cell and a second radio interface SN of the first multicast broadcast service received in a second cell; and sorting data packets of the first multicast broadcast service according to the first radio interface SN and the second radio interface SN; where the first radio interface SN and the second radio interface SN are in a same SN set, and the first radio interface SN and the second radio interface SN are at least partially different.

Apparatuses and methods supporting uplink transmissions are disclosed. A method includes receiving signaling including information indicating a primary cell and at least one non-primary cell, receiving a message with scheduling information indicating an allocation of uplink resources and a HARQ process ID, and transmitting to at least the one non-primary cell an uplink transmission using a HARQ process indicated by the HARQ process ID and the allocation of uplink resources. Another method includes transmitting signaling including information indicating a primary cell and at least one non-primary cell, transmitting a message with scheduling information indicating an allocation of uplink resources and a HARQ process ID to a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU), and receiving an uplink transmission using a HARQ process indicated by the HARQ process ID and the allocation of uplink resources on at least the one non-primary cell.

A network entity and an operating method thereof in a communication system are provided. The method includes establishing a first connection with a user equipment (UE) using a first access technology; receiving, from the UE, via the first connection, capability information on communication with a second cell using a second access technology different from the first access technology; transmitting a first signal to the UE via the first connection; and transmitting, to the UE, via the first connection, configuration information related to the second cell for establishing a second connection between the UE and the second cell. The first cell and the second cell are simultaneously active for the UE.

Aspects of the present disclosure relate to wireless communications, and more particularly, to performing a handover on a per-data radio bearer (DRB) basis. In some examples, the disclosure is directed to indicating, to a source network entity, a make-before-break (MBB) handover capability of the UE, the MBB handover capability supporting MBB handovers for one or more DRBs identified by the source network entity. In some examples, the disclosure describes receiving, from the source network entity, configuration information for a handover from the source network entity to a target network entity, the configuration information identifying the one or more DRBs supported for the MBB handover.

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a base station may configure a bandwidth part (BWP) switching configuration of a user equipment in connection with a dual active protocol stack (DAPS) handover based at least in part on a BWP switching rule; and perform the DAPS handover. Numerous other aspects are provided.
