A system and method for identifying at least one aggressor cell are described. The method comprises transmitting at least one subframe from at least one base station of a first set of base stations to a second set of base stations, wherein the at least one subframe further comprises of at least one downlink subframe, at least uplink subframe and at least one special subframe. The second set of base stations decodes the at least one received subframe, and maps each of the at least one received downlink subframe, at least one received uplink subframe and at least one received special subframe of the at least one received subframe to at least one expected subframe. Lastly, at least one aggressor cell is determined based on a mismatch of the at least one received subframe and the at least one expected subframe.

A method for determining a route in an Integrated Access Backhaul “IAB” mesh zone. The method comprises transmitting, to each IAB node of a plurality of IAB nodes, one or more discovery parameters for each IAB node; determining one or more route selection parameters for each IAB node to select a route; a first IAB node of the plurality of IAB nodes determining, based on the one or more discovery parameters, that a second IAB node of the plurality of IAB nodes is discoverable; and upon receiving a packet, selecting a route from the first IAB node based on the one or more route selection parameters and on the first IAB node determining that the second IAB node is discoverable.

Systems and methods are disclosed herein for providing adaptive service areas for multicast session continuity. Embodiments of a method performed by a radio access node in a Radio Access Network (RAN) are disclosed. Such embodiments introduce mobility of User Equipments (UEs) participating in a multicast/broadcast service, which is managed by the RAN. This means that the broadcast area will dynamically adapt as participating UEs move and/or radio conditions change.

A method, computer readable media and system for providing X2 Gateway (GW) multi-cell support, comprising: are presented. In one embodiment a method includes providing a system having a Virtual Radio Unit (VRU) in communication with a Het Net Gateway (coordinating server); exchanging non-content X2 request messages between the VRU and the coordinating server; exchanging non-content X2 response messages between the VRU and the coordinating server; and wherein the non-content X2 request messages and the X2 response messages are used to communicate multiple cells served by the VRU to the coordinating server.

A coordinated multiple-AP system and method for alleviating AP overloading, sticky clients, and RF interference for use in a non-WLAN Controller (WLC) communication environment, such as a home network. In the present system and method AP periodically measure the communication environment and share the measured data with other APs in the same communication environment. The shared communication environment data is utilized to collaboratively determine best data transmission scenarios for supported clients. Best data transmission scenarios include but are not limited to optimized Client Link Management and Radio Resource Management.

A method of wireless communication includes, in response to a trigger event detected at a first base station, performing, by the first base station, a scan of a plurality of frequencies for a synchronization signal block (SSB) transmission from a second base station. The plurality of frequencies correspond to a plurality of global synchronization channel numbers (GSCNs) associated with the first base station and the second base station. The first base station is associated with a first coverage area that is at least partially within a second coverage area associated with the second base station. The method further includes transmitting, by the first base station, one or more SSBs having an SSB configuration that is based on a result of the scan.

Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for over-the-air synchronization of integrated access and backhaul communications. An example method that may be performed by a network entity includes receiving, from a first wireless node, an indication of a value of a timing adjustment factor associated with a communication between the first wireless node and a second wireless node and communicating with the first wireless node or the second wireless node based on the value of the timing adjustment factor.

Provided is a method for performing relay forwarding on integrated access and backhaul (IAB) links. The method includes receiving, by a first IAB node, a data packet; and transmitting, by the first IAB node, the data packet to an IAB donor. Further provided are an information acquisition method, an IAB node, an IAB donor node and a storage medium.
