Communication management hardware controls operation of multiple wireless stations in a network environment. For example, the communication management hardware initially assigns wireless bandwidth for use by multiple wireless stations in a wireless network environment to communicate amongst each other. The communication management hardware monitors use of the wireless bandwidth. In response to detecting use of the wireless bandwidth by an incumbent entity having higher priority rights than the multiple wireless stations, the communication management hardware operates in a shared time-division mode in which both the multiple wireless stations and the incumbent entity share use of the wireless bandwidth in a control period according to a duty cycle in which the wireless stations are provided full use of the wireless bandwidth during a first portion of the control period and the wireless stations are provided reduced use of the wireless channels for a second portion of the control period.

A method is provided for installing a new node in a wireless home network having a client network and includes a node able to form a mesh network. A connection of a new node to the client network supplied by the home network node is detected, and an identifier of a client device that is connected to the client network is received. If the client device is known to the home network: the new node is notified that the client device that is connected to the client network must be disconnected from the client network; a connection of the client device to the client network supplied by the node of the home network is detected; and identifiers of the mesh network are transferred to the new node if the connection of the disconnected client device to the client network supplied by the node of the domestic network is detected.

A user terminal according to one aspect of the present invention is characterized by having a receiving section that receives a power control ID, a control section that controls transmit power according to a transmit power parameter set specified by the power control ID, and a transmitting section that transmits a signal corresponding to an object set specified by the power control ID, using the transmit power. According to one aspect of the invention, it is possible to suppress a reduction in communication throughput, even in the case of using beam specific transmit power control.

Various embodiments provide a communication method, a communications apparatus, and a computer-readable storage medium. In those embodiments, a first transmit power can be determined for transmitting first information in a first time unit on a first carrier and a second transmit power can be determined for transmitting second information in a second time unit on a second carrier. A third transmit power can be determined for transmitting the second information in a first time period and transmitting the second information in a second time period using the second transmit power or the third transmit power. The second information can be sent in the first time period using the third transmit power. In those embodiments, a sum of powers used by a terminal device to transmit two uplink carriers in a same time period does not exceed a maximum transmit power of the terminal device.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may establish a first wireless connection with a first wireless device, and a second wireless connection with the first wireless device or a second wireless device, where the first wireless connection and the second wireless connection operate in a dual connectivity mode. The UE may identify first and second energy efficiency metrics associated with the first and second wireless connections, respectively. The UE may identify one or more parameters associated with a transmit power of communications at the UE, and may compare the first energy efficiency metric and the second energy efficiency metric. The UE may then allocate a first power resource to the first wireless connection, a second power resource to the second wireless connection, or both, based on the comparison, the one or more parameters, or a combination thereof.
