There are provided a method of managing radio connectivity of a vehicle and a system thereof. The method comprises: continuously receiving by vehicle's telematic system a predictive model generated by remote system using data continuously collected from a plurality of vehicles, wherein the collected data comprise, for each given vehicle of the plurality of vehicles, data informative of its location, speed and of Radio Access Technology (RAT)-related measurements; and, responsive to a predefined event, applying, by the telematic system, a lastly received predictive model to current values of a predefined set of inputs associated with the vehicle to obtain instructions and respectively provide corrective actions related to radio connectivity of the vehicle. The corrective actions include modifying RRC measurement report(s) so as to force the cellular network to provide one of: intra-RAT handover, inter-RAT handover; excluding available connectivity with undesired RAT or band; and terminating the radio connectivity with further RAT re-selecting.

A method for cell selection, a user equipment and a network side device are provided. The method includes: reading, by a UE, first system information of a first cell on a first frequency; in a case that the first system information of the first cell indicates that camping on the first cell is not allowed and an intra-frequency reselection is not allowed and in a case that a set condition is met, the UE not selecting, or not reselecting, or neither selecting nor reselecting a cell on the first frequency.

Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, obtaining channel cross correlation data relating to multiple user equipment (UEs) being served in a cell, wherein the channel cross correlation data comprises a correlation coefficient associated with a first UE of the multiple UEs and a second UE of the multiple UEs, identifying that the first UE is experiencing decreasing throughput, responsive to the identifying that the first UE is experiencing decreasing throughput, determining whether the correlation coefficient associated with the first UE and the second UE satisfies a correlation threshold, and, based on a first determination that the correlation coefficient does not satisfy the correlation threshold, adjusting a downlink (DL) transmit power allocation for transmissions directed to the first UE. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Disclosed herein are apparatuses, systems, and methods using or implementing dynamic resource allocation (DRA) of resources for machine-type communication (MTC), as a secondary partition within a system bandwidth. Allocations outside the secondary partition are configured as a primary partition for other than MTC. Apparatuses may perform MTC communications within the secondary partition when DRA configuration information includes allocation information for the secondary partition and the apparatus is configured for MTC. Otherwise, if the apparatus is other than MTC, the apparatus may refrain from performing communications in the secondary partition. Other embodiments are described.

To measure the channel quality of the own cell accurately in a condition where there is no interference from a neighbor cell. A wireless communication terminal according to the invention is a wireless communication terminal to be connected to a base station for transmitting and receiving data to/from the base station, the wireless communication terminal including: a receiver that receives a signal which includes control information provided for measuring a channel quality of own cell from the base station; an extractor that extracts the control information from the signal received by the receiver; a measurement section that measures, on the basis of the control information, the channel quality of the own cell in a domain where a neighbor cell does not transmit a signal; and a transmitter that transmits a measurement result of the channel quality of the own cell measured by the measurement section, to the base station.

Embodiments described herein provide methods and apparatus for configuring a service based architecture for discovery of a Network Function, NF. A method in a Network Function Discovery Orchestration includes configuring, in a domain name system, DNS, a first DNS entry associating a first domain name of the NF with at least one NF Internet Protocol, IP, address of the NF, and a second DNS entry associating the first domain name with at least one edge security node IP address of an edge security node in the first PLMN, wherein, the first DNS entry is for use in resolving requests for the NF which originate from within the first PLMN, and the second DNS entry is for use in resolving requests for the NF which originate from outside the first PLMN. Further methods and apparatus in a Network Repository Function, a Domain Name System and an edge security node are also provided.

A method and apparatus are disclosed from the perspective of a first User Equipment (UE) in RRC_CONNECTED to request sidelink resources. In one embodiment, the method transmits a first RRC (Radio Resource Control) message to a network node, wherein a presence of a sidelink QoS (Quality of Service) information list in the first RRC message is optional.

Multiple mobile cellular network (MCN) communication systems can be networked together to form a network of MCN communication systems (NOM). Each MCN communication system within the NOM can operate as an independent cellular network to provide communications between user equipment within a covered area. When a UE in one MCN of the NOM moves into a different MCN of the NOM, the corresponding MCN communication systems can handover the UE. The UE can also be handed over between MCN communication systems when the MCN communication systems move.

A method for performing an uplink transmission by a user equipment in a non-terrestrial network, a method for scheduling uplink transmission in a non-terrestrial network, a user equipment and a base station are provided. The method comprises: receiving, from a base station, a first information for indicating uplink transmission resources, and a second information, wherein the second information comprises a first parameter for indicating the uplink transmission resources; performing, based on the first information and the second information, an uplink transmission on the uplink transmission resources.
