A method of conserving power of a mobile device is provided. The method includes monitoring battery capacity of a mobile phone battery, switching off a radio of the mobile device when a battery capacity is below a predetermined threshold, and disabling at least one application, while allowing an application associated with a cellular call to continue enabled.

Apparatuses and methods are disclosed that may allow a wireless device to be steered between a number of different access points (APs) based, at least in part, on a type of traffic associated with the wireless device. In some aspects, a first AP may monitor a traffic flow associated with the wireless device, identify a traffic type of the traffic flow based on one or more characteristics of the traffic flow, and selectively switch an association of the wireless device between the first AP and one of a number of second APs based, at least in part, on the identified traffic type.

In a communication control method according to the present embodiment, an OFF target cell determines at least one cell which becomes a transmission destination of a resource securing notification for securing a resource beforehand for a user terminal from among a plurality of compensation cells for compensating a coverage of the OFF target cell, on the basis of a measurement report received, before turning the OFF target cell off, from the user terminal.

A first base station is configured to be connected with a second base station via an X2 interface. The first base station includes: a controller containing at least one processor and at least one memory, and configured to execute processes of transmitting a message, which includes a first identifier, a change notification, coverage state information, and a second identifier, to the second base station before modifying a coverage of the first cell, the first identifier identifying the first cell, the change notification indicating that the first base station is planned to modify the coverage of the first cell, the coverage state information indicating that a state of the coverage after modification of the coverage, the second identifier identifying a second cell for compensating at least part of the coverage of the first cell; and modifying the coverage of the first cell after transmitting the message.

The present disclosure presents method, network nodes and computer program for improving a dual band user equipment, UE/STA, mobility from a first access node, e.g. an eNB, arranged to operate according to a first radio access technology to at least one second access node, e.g. a WLAN AP, arranged to operate according to a second radio access technology. A communications interface is arranged for direct communication between the first access node and the respective second access node. The method, as performed in the first access node, comprises retrieving (S32) resource management related information of the second access node relevant for the user equipment UE/STA over the communications interface. Radio resources provided to the dual-mode user equipment, UE/STA, by both the first and the second access node, are coordinately controlled (S33), over the communications interface, based on the retrieved resource management related information and internal resource management related information for the first node.

The present invention relates to base stations, methods in a base station, terminals and methods in a terminal for supporting a handover. The invention further relates to computer programs for implementing, in the respective nodes of a wireless network, functionality for supporting a handover. According to one embodiment, a method in a source base station for supporting a handover of a terminal from the source base station to a target base station is provided. The method includes sending to an assisting base station a request for assisting the handover, and communicating handover control information between the terminal and the source base station via the assisting base station.

A communication control method is a method in which a neighboring cell #1 supplements a coverage of an OFF target cell #2 by increasing transmission power of the neighboring cell #1, when setting the OFF target cell #2 to an OFF state. The communication control method comprises: a step A of informing, by a UE 100 connected to the OFF target cell #2, the OFF target cell #2 of neighboring cell received power that is received power of a radio signal from the neighboring cell #1; and a step B of deciding, by a server 400 that acquires the neighboring cell received power via the OFF target cell #2, on the basis of the acquired neighboring cell received power, an amount of increase in transmission power of the neighboring cell #1.

A first computing device may receive an indication of user input that is at least a part of a conversation between a user and a first assistant executing at the first computing device. The first assistant and/or an assistant executing at a digital assistant system may determine whether to handoff the conversation from the first assistant executing at the first computing device to a second assistant executing at a second computing device. In response to determining to handoff the conversation to the second assistant executing at the second computing device, the first assistant and/or the assistant executing at the digital assistant system may send to the second computing device a request to handoff the conversation which includes at least an indication of the conversation.

The present application relates to a slice selection method, and a terminal device. The method includes the terminal device receives deployment-related slice information; and the terminal device selects a slice based on the deployment-related slice information. In an embodiment of the present application, based on the deployment-related slice information, an preferred slice can be selected, which reduces access and business service delay for the terminal device.

Example embodiments presented herein are directed towards a wireless terminal and base station, and corresponding methods therein, for providing a handover for a subset of bearers associated with the wireless terminal. The subset of bearers is less than a total number of bearers associated with the wireless terminal. Thus, upon the completion of the handover procedure, at least one bearer will stay connected with a source base station.
