During operation, a mesh network access point (MAP) may communicate, via multiple mesh paths in a mesh network with the one or more root access points (RAPs), uplink packets or frames to or from at least two electronic devices. Notably, at a given time, the MAP uses a first mesh path in the mesh paths to communicate a first subset of the uplink packets or frames associated with a first electronic device in the two electronic devices and uses a second (different) mesh path in the mesh paths to communicate a second subset of the uplink packets or frames associated with a second electronic device in the two electronic devices. Moreover, the MAP may dynamically distribute the first electronic device or the second electronic device over the multiple mesh paths, e.g., based at least in part on one or more communication-performance metrics of the mesh paths and/or the mesh network.

The present invention relates to a wireless system 100 miming multiple applications at the same time, such as for both lighting control and asset tracking A node 200 comprised in the wireless system 100 is capable to operate in multiple communication modes, with each communication mode is according to a different communication technology. One the other hand, one application may have a preferred communication mode different from another application, considering some applications may have higher security requirements than the others. In view of this, a mode switching method is disclosed to assist the node 200 to serve multiple parallel applications in an efficient manner.

An embodiment relates to an operating method of a UE related to a sidelink relay in a wireless communication system, the operating method comprising: receiving, by the UE, a relay functionality enable-related request message; setting, by the UE, a timer; and enabling, by the UE, relay functionality on the basis of expiration of the timer, wherein the timer is released on the basis of receiving a broadcast message notifying relay functionality enable.

Provided are a wireless communication method and a remote terminal. The method includes that: a first remote terminal determines a first relay terminal for point-to-point communication; and the first remote terminal performs end-to-end communication with a second remote terminal through the first relay terminal. End-to-end communication is converted into point-to-point communication through the first relay terminal, so that when the distance between a sending end and a requesting end is too far, relaying may be performed on a communication link between the first remote terminal and the second remote terminal through the first relay terminal, so as to realize end-to-end communication.

A method for a relaying system. The method for improving an awareness of the relaying system by user equipment includes encoding information about a relaying service in a vehicle-to-everything message and transmitting the vehicle-to-everything message to the user equipment to improve user equipment's awareness of the relaying system's relaying service.
