A method for managing a fronthaul network in a wireless communication system, the fronthaul network comprising several distributed units and one or more central units, is proposed. The method comprises: performing fronthaul network dynamic configuration on the fronthaul network, the fronthaul network dynamic configuration comprising, at a controller of the wireless communication system: obtaining information indicating a positioning of the mobile terminal, obtaining, based on the information indicating a positioning of the mobile terminal, a set of one or more active distributed units among the plurality of distributed units, determining first associations between each of the active distributed units and one or more first respective central units of the one or more central units, and configuring communication links between each of the active distributed units and their first respective one or more central units according to the determined first associations.

An Ethernet protocol data unit (PDU) over 5G service is provided. A network device in a core network stores addresses of advertised subnets, associated with multiple user equipment or customer premises equipment (UE/CPE) devices, in a subnet table that correlates a MAC address of each of the multiple UE/CPE devices to a subnet address. The network device receives an allocation and retention priority (ARP) request over a data link layer. The ARP request indicates an IP address for a target host of a data flow. The network device determines, based on the subnet table and the IP address, a MAC address of one UE/CPE device servicing the host address. The network device sends a directed ARP request to the UE/CPE device using the MAC address, receives in response a target MAC address for the target host, and sends a response to the ARP request with the target MAC address.

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.

A communications device acts as a remote (first) communications device and communicates via another (second) communications device acting as a relay. The remote communications device communicates, via a wireless communications network using a first wireless access interface implemented by a first set of protocol entities in the remote communications device and a corresponding first set of peer protocol entities. The remote communications device receives an indication of a configuration of a second wireless access interface for communication between the remote communications device and the relay communications device, the first wireless access interface being implemented by a second set of protocol entities in the remote communications device and a corresponding second set of peer protocol entities in the relay communications device. The remote communications device maintains at least one of the first set of protocol entities in the remote communications device.
