The disclosure relates to a 5G or 6G communication system for supporting a higher data transmission rate. The present disclosure provides a method and device for self-configuration and self-optimization. There is disclosed a method performed by a first node in a wireless communication network, comprising: receiving, by the first node, a first message related to information on an unlicensed spectrum from a second node; performing, by the first node, self-optimization according to the information on the unlicensed spectrum.

A method and apparatus for lossless uplink data transmission of IAB network in a wireless communication system will be provided. A user plane (UP) of an integrated access and backhaul (IAB)-donor central unit (CU) in a wireless communication system receives, from a wireless device, uplink data through a source IAB-node. A UP of an IAB-donor CU receives, from the source IAB-node, at least one of a delivery status of the uplink data on the source IAB-node, wherein the wireless device handovers from the source IAB-node to a target IAB-node. A UP of an IAB-donor CU transmits, to a unit-control plane (CP) of the IAB-donor CU, a first message based on the at least one of the delivery status of the uplink data.

A system, method and apparatus for wireless communications is provided. A user equipment (UE) receives, from a first base station, one or more first messages that include measurement configuration parameters and sidelink parameters associated with a first cell. The UE establishes a sidelink with a second UE based on the sidelink parameters and transmits, to the first base station, a measurement report based on the measurement configuration parameters. Responsive to the measurement report, the UE receives a second message comprising second configuration parameters of a second cell of a second base station. The second configuration parameters do not comprise sidelink parameters. The UE then switches from the first cell of the first base station to the second cell of the second base station. The sidelink of the first cell is handed over to an uplink of the second cell.

Disclosed are a method for switching between access network devices, a terminal device, and a network device. The method includes the terminal device initiating a random access to a target access network device while maintaining a connection with a source access network device. The method also includes the terminal device releasing the connection with the source access network device, after successfully accessing to the target access network device and in response to channel quality of the source access network device meeting a preset condition.

The present disclosure relates to an electronic device and a wireless communication method in a wireless communication system. The electronic device of the present disclosure comprises one or more processing circuits, configured to: acquire scenario identification information, comprising first link information that indicates the quality of a link between the electronic device and a user equipment, second link information that indicates the quality of a link between the electronic device and a base station, serving cell received power change rate information, and neighboring cell received power change rate information; and determine scenario information based on the scenario identification information, to inform the user equipment, so as to assist the user equipment to execute a relay reselection process, or to assist the electronic device to execute a relay selection process. By using the electronic device and the wireless communication method of the present disclosure, a remote user equipment is enabled to acquire a scenario in which the electronic device is located, so that the remote user equipment can better perform relay reselection or that the electronic device can better execute relay selection, thereby increasing the system performance and reducing overheads of an X2 interface.

A network configuration method, including: receiving, by a target primary eNB of user equipment, a handover request message transmitted by a source primary eNB of the user equipment, the handover request message containing identification indication information or service indication information of the user equipment in a serving eNB before handover.

Methods, apparatus, and systems for wireless communications are disclosed. A first base station may receive one or more message from a second base station. The messages may include downlink beamforming information elements for a downlink cell. Each downlink beamforming information element may be associated with a respective group of resource blocks of a plurality of groups of resource blocks in the downlink cell. The first base station may select a first beamforming codeword for at least one group of resource blocks of the plurality of groups of resource blocks based on the downlink beamforming information associated with the at least one group of resource blocks. The first base station may transmit, to a wireless device, signals on the at least one group of resource blocks employing the first beamforming codeword.

A method and apparatus for performing an inter-master eNodeB (MeNB) handover procedure without secondary eNB (SeNB) change in a wireless communication system is provided. A source MeNB transmits a handover request message including a first indication of a SeNB to a target MeNB. The first indication may correspond to a SeNB identifier (ID). Upon receiving the handover request message including the first indication, the target MeNB transmits a SeNB addition request message including a second indication of a UE, served by the SeNB, to the SeNB. The second indication may correspond to an old SeNB UE X2AP ID, which was allocated by the SeNB. Upon receiving the SeNB addition request message including the second indication, the SeNB may transmit a SeNB addition acknowledge message including a third indication of keeping bearers of the SeNB from the SeNB.

A first base station provides radio communication service to user equipments, UEs, and a second base station that provides radio communication service to UEs in adjacent cell service area. The first base station receives cell range expansion, CRE, information from the second base station for expanding the size of the first cell and evaluates handover of one or more UEs with respect to the second cell based on the CRE information. In one embodiment, the second base station determines a CRE related configuration that includes the CRE information with respect to the first cell, sends the CRE information to the first base station. For example, the second base station may send a handover request including the CRE information to the first base station. The second base station also may consider CRE information in handover evaluation.

Provided are a method for a terminal controlling uplink power in a rando access channel-less (RACH-less) handover, and an apparatus for supporting same. The method may comprise the steps of: receiving, from a source base station, an RRC connection reconfiguration message including an uplink grant; transmitting, to a target base station using a first transmission power, an RRC connection reconfiguration complete message, on the basis of the uplink grant; receiving, from the target base station, a NACK corresponding to the RRC connection reconfiguration complete message; ramping the first transmission power to a second transmission power; and transmitting the RRC connection reconfiguration complete message using the ramped second transmission power.
