The disclosed technology is directed towards avoiding a misconfiguration that uses a Long Term Evolution (LTE) and new radio dynamic spectrum sharing (DSS) carrier as an LTE carrier and new radio primary secondary cell carrier concurrently for a dual connectivity mobile device. Network equipment can detect the misconfiguration and prevent its usage, or if already configured, deconfigure the LTE DSS secondary cell during setup of a dual connectivity mobile device. Alternatively a dual connectivity mobile device can detect the misconfiguration and notify the network to terminate one of the carriers. Information regarding the misconfiguration can be saved in the mobile device to proactively avoid the dual misconfiguration going forward. Such information can be communicated to other mobile devices, as well as the network.

A method, apparatus, and a computer-readable storage medium are provided for forwarding of buffered user data at a target node to a re-establishment node. In an example implementation, the method may include receiving, by a first network node, a handover cancel or an Xn-User plane address indication message from a second network node, the handover cancel or the Xn-User plane address indication message including tunnel addresses for one or more data radio bearers; and forwarding, by the first network node, buffered downlink packets to a third network node or the second network node, the forwarding based at least on the tunnel addresses. In an additional example implementation, the method may include sending, by a third network node, tunnel addresses for one or more data radio bearers to a second network node upon re-establishing of a radio resource control connection; and receiving, by the third network node, buffered packets at the first network node from a second network node or the first network node. In an additional example implementation, the method may include initiating, by a user equipment, a radio resource control re-establishment procedure with a third network node, the re-establishment procedure is initiated upon a handover failure of the user equipment from a second network node to a first network node; and receiving, by user equipment, buffered packets at the first node from a third network node.

A resource selection method and apparatus, and an electronic device, are provided. The resource selection method includes: performing, by a sending terminal, any one of the following operations on periodic resources selected and/or reserved by the sending terminal: performing resource selection re-evaluation on the periodic resources in a case that a preset re-evaluation condition is met; using an independent parameter for resource pre-emption detection of the periodic resources in a case that a preset resource pre-emption detection condition is met; releasing the periodic resources and/or performing resource re-selection from the periodic resources in a case that a preset resource selection triggering condition is met; and excluding the periodic resources from a candidate resource set in a case that a preset resource exclusion condition is met.

Apparatus and method for performing beam failure recovery in a wireless communication system are provided. The method performed by a User Equipment (UE) includes receiving, from a base station, a first bandwidth part (BWP) configuration corresponding to a first BWP, a second BWP configuration corresponding to a second BWP, and a BWP inactivity timer; determining whether a BFR procedure is triggered; when determining that the BFR procedure is triggered: stopping the BWP inactivity timer and performing BWP switching from the first BWP to the second BWP.

A method for prioritizing among alternate network function (NF) instances includes registering a first NF profile of a first NF instance with a first NF repository function (NRF), and defining, as part of the first NF profile, alternate NF instance information identifying a plurality of individual alternate NF instances to function as backups in response to unavailability of the first NF instance and specifying, for each alternate NF instance, a priority attribute value indicating a relative priority of the alternate NF instance with respect to the other alternate NF instances. The method further includes, at a first consumer NF or SCP, discovering, from the first NRF, the first NF profile of the first NF instance, detecting unavailability of the first NF instance, and, using the alternate NF instance information in the first NF profile to select and contact one of the alternate NF instances identified by the alternate NF instance information.
