Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A user equipment (UE) may determine to use multi-cluster communications in a vehicle based communication network. The UE may identify a configuration parameter associated with the multi-cluster communications. The UE may select a cluster resource from a set of available cluster resources based on the configuration parameter. The cluster resource may include one or more clusters used for multi-cluster transmissions in the vehicle based communication network. The UE may transmit an indication of the selected cluster resource to a wireless node of the vehicle based communication network, for example, to another UE. The UE may transmit the multi-cluster transmission on the selected cluster resource.

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a wireless node may receive, from a source node, an access request message using a first carrier, wherein the first carrier is to be used for routing decision traffic by each wireless node of a cluster of wireless nodes of the wireless multi-hop network, wherein the cluster includes the wireless node and the source node; and transmit, to the source node, an access response message using the first carrier, wherein the access response message indicates a selected routing option, of a set of routing options, for the source node to use to transmit a data communication to the wireless node using a second carrier. Numerous other aspects are provided.

To improve the efficiency and reliability of communication in a large and high-density wireless network 100, it is beneficial to assign a subset of the plurality of nodes 500 being router nodes 200, and the rest of the nodes being non-router nodes 300. Thus, the dense wireless network 100 splits into a sparse core mesh network and many small star networks around each router node 200. However, to commission the plurality of nodes into such a hybrid topology can be quite complex and time-consuming. This invention discloses a commissioning method that makes use of one or more neighboring relationship established among the plurality of nodes to derive a proper role for an individual node, and then to configure the individual node to operate according to the role assigned. The disclosed commissioning method may be carried out semi-automatically or automatically.

A communication control method is provided. The communication control method can include sending information on radio access technologies supported by a terminal to a base station, receiving an association relationship between each of the radio access technologies and a corresponding service type from the base station, when it is required to perform communication of a service with the base station, determining a target radio access technology corresponding to the service type of the service based on the association relationship, and performing communication of the service with the base station based on the target radio access technology.

The invention facilitates private, low latency routing of an Internet Protocol data packet between wireless computer devices connected to a cellular network. A router system stores a device group relationship defining a set of unique device identifiers (UDIs) of devices. The router system receives, via a radio access network (RAN) of the cellular network but without traversing the Internet, the IP data packet including a UDI of a source device that generated the IP data packet. The router system may determine whether the data packet is public so as to be forwarded on the Internet, or private. If private, then the router system forwards, via the RAN but without traversing the Internet, the IP data packet to a destination device. The forwarding is conditional on the set of UDIs including both a UDI of the destination device, and the UDI of the source device included in the IP data packet.

A first mobile device and a plurality of other mobile devices connect to a network. A routing configuration table is configured. The routing configuration table includes rules about sharing communication between the first mobile device and the plurality of other mobile devices. The first mobile device is paired with the plurality of other mobile device based on the routing configuration table. A determination is made whether the first mobile device has received a communication. In response to the determination that a communication has been received by the first mobile device, the communication is transferred to at least one mobile device of the plurality of mobile devices based on the configuration table.
