A method for coordinated communication and an apparatus for coordinated communication are provided. The method includes: a first access point (AP) sends an announcement message and/or a polling message to one or more second APs. The announcement message announces that the first AP may share a time resource of the first AP. The announcement message may further include identifier information that indicates the one or more second APs, and time information that indicate communication or channel contention of the one or more second APs in the time resource shared by the first AP. The polling message may be used to notify a second AP to start to use, at a preset time, a channel resource shared by the first AP with the second AP for communication or start channel contention at the preset time.

The disclosure discloses a method for Device to Device (D2D) resource pool measurement and reporting. A User Equipment (UE) measures a D2D resource pool, and sends measurement information of the D2D resource pool. The disclosure also discloses another method, Evolved Node B (eNodeB), UE and storage medium for D2D resource pool measurement and reporting.

Provided a method for configuring an unlink signal. The method includes: indicating, by a first communication node through signaling, a resource or a frequency hopping manner used by a second communication node for transmitting the uplink signal, or predefining, by the first communication node and the second communication node, the resource or the frequency hopping manner used by the second communication node for transmitting the uplink signal. Further provided are an apparatus for configuring an uplink signal, a method and apparatus for determining an uplink signal, a base station, a terminal and a storage medium.

Methods and apparatuses for facilitating multi-AP (MAP) coordination to mitigate interference caused by a link of a non-simultaneous transmit/receive (NSTR) link pair of a multilink device (MLD) in an overlapping basic service set (OBSS) in a wireless local area network. The methods include a method performed by an access point (AP) MLD, comprising the steps of obtaining, via a backhaul link from a neighboring AP in a different BSS, a MAP coordination request that includes schedule information for a victim station (STA) in the different BSS, and modifying, based on the MAP coordination request and the schedule information, an operation mode of either the AP MLD or a non-AP MLD that forms an NSTR link pair with the AP MLD, such that a first link of the NSTR link pair is silenced during an active period of the victim STA.

A method for data forwarding in a small cell system comprises: sending by a master base station (MeNB) to a target secondary base station (SeNB) information of a source SeNB or a source SeNB cell where a user equipment (UE) is located; determining by the target SeNB whether a direct data forwarding is feasible; notifying, by the target SeNB, the MeNB whether the direct data forwarding is feasible; and determining by the MeNB whether it is a direct data forwarding or an indirect data forwarding. The method for data forwarding provided in the present application may support both the direct data forwarding and the indirect data forwarding based on actual situation of the network, reduce data loss and failure of data forwarding, and improve the efficiency of data forwarding.

A wireless communication system includes a base station and direct wave communication stations that communicate with the base station. At least one of the base station and the direct wave communication stations includes a number-of-bands switching unit that switches, on the basis of a communication state, a number of bands for direct wave communication, by dividing a band for direct wave communication. One of the plurality of direct wave communication stations receives a narrowband carrier in the divided band.

An access point (AP) of an AP multi-link device (MLD) is associated with a first communication link, and one or more secondary APs of the AP MLD are associated with one or more respective secondary communication links of the AP MLD. The first AP of the AP MLD generates a frame including a first change sequence field, one or more secondary change sequence fields, and a critical update flag subfield. The first change sequence field carries a value of the most-recent critical update for the first AP. The one or more secondary change sequence fields carry values of the most-recent critical updates for the one or more respective secondary APs. The critical update flag subfield carries an indication of a change in value of at least one of the secondary change sequence fields. The first AP transmits the frame over the first communication link of the AP MLD.

A congestion control method includes that a first access point receives a first indication from a second access point; and the first access point performs traffic control on a non-key service of the first access point based on the first indication. The first access point is a neighboring access point of the second access point, and an operating channel of the first access point and an operating channel of the second access point overlap.
