The present disclosure relates to a method performed by a network node (54) in a communication network (50) comprising a plurality of communication devices (51), for finding temporally connected connection patterns of the communication devices in the network. The method comprises identifying signalling between the communication devices during a predefined time duration to form a main communication graph in which the plurality of communication devices are nodes. The method also comprises partitioning the main communication graph for a time period comprised in said time duration to capture temporally connected signalling between some of the communication devices as illustrated in the main communication graph in a partitioned communication graph. The method also comprises forming at least one subgraph from the partitioned communication graph, comprising m nodes corresponding to m communication devices of said some of the communication devices. The method also comprises constructing a binary vector of the subgraph over the time period divided into a plurality of sampling periods corresponding to components in the vector such that, for each component in the vector, the component value is set to 1 if, in accordance with the subgraph, signalling occurs between at least two of the m communication devices during the sampling period corresponding to the element, and the component value is otherwise set to 0. The method also comprises testing whether the signalling between the different m communication devices used for constructing the binary vector is temporally connected by checking that the number of consecutive 0 element(s), if any, between any two 1 elements is less than a predefined T.

Provided is a method and apparatus for processing cell interference. The method includes: acquiring spatial beam interference information between each of nodes and a surrounding node of each node; determining an interference management strategy for a service in each node according to the spatial beam interference information and resource allocation information of the surrounding node of each node, wherein the resource allocation information is information for allocating resources of a service in the surrounding node of each node, and the resources are in a time domain, a frequency domain and a space domain; and executing the interference management strategy of the service in each node. The solution above solves the problem that interference management schemes in the related art can only be used independently to manage interference in a time domain, frequency domain or space domain.

In environments such as buildings in which access points are densely deployed, those access points influence each other. To provide a frequency channel allocation scheme in such densely populated environments information gathered by the access points are collected. In such a situation, relying on a list of neighboring access points, background noise, communication medium business, the beacon messages received from access points as well as their associated RSSI, may lead to a frequency channel allocation scheme that may not significantly reduce the interference between access points. The invention introduces an activity-based distance computed between at least two access points which represents a time overlap in a use of the communication medium.

A base station may identify one or more signaling messages or pilots usable for identifying a combined PA and ET non-linearity model associated with the base station. The combined PA and ET non-linearity model may be associated with a PA circuitry and an ET circuitry. The PA circuitry and the ET circuitry may be associated with the base station. The base station may transmit, to the UE, and the UE may receive, from the base station, the one or more signaling messages or pilots. The UE may identify a combined PA and ET non-linearity model associated with the base station based on the one or more signaling messages or pilots. The UE may compensate for a distortion in one or more subsequent signals from the base station based on the identified combined PA and ET non-linearity model.

An apparatus configured to receive data inputs corresponding to a plurality of data objects that are to be transmitted, process the data inputs to generate a semantic representation of each of the data objects, wherein the semantic representation comprises a semantic distance for each of the data objects, wherein the semantic distance relates each of the data objects to each other and prepare, for transmission, the semantic representations of the data objects.

To determine resources for reference signal transmissions, for example for positioning, by a first apparatus (LMP), a second apparatus (TD), the first apparatus may transmit to the second apparatus a request (2-1) to measure and report spatial distribution metrics of reference signal transmissions (2-2, 2-3) over a plurality of beams from a plurality of transmission-reception points. The second apparatus performs one or more measurements (2-4) and sends one or more measurement reports (2-5) to the first apparatus. The first apparatus uses spatial distribution information over the plurality of beams in the one or more reports to determine (2-6) whether one or more time-frequency resources used by one beam are re-usable by at least another beam.
