A radio access network (RAN) node (11) is configured to send, to another RAN node (12), first control information regarding at least one of one or more bandwidth parts (BWPs) configured in a system bandwidth. It is thus, for example, possible to contribute to inter-radio access network (RAN) node (e.g., inter-gNB) signaling enhanced to handle bandwidth parts.

The first circuitry may be operable to establish a first UE Receive (Rx) beam as being for reception of data from a first eNB. The second circuitry may be operable to process a transmission including Downlink Control Information (DCI), wherein the DCI carries an eNB cell-switching indicator. The first circuitry may also be operable to establish a second UE Rx beam as being for reception of data from a second eNB based on the eNB cell-switching indicator.

Methods and systems are provided for reducing a time spent by a wireless device scanning for candidate access points (AP) during roaming. In one embodiment, a method includes, during a roaming mode of a wireless patient monitoring device connected to a wireless network via a first AP of the network, receiving AP information at the wireless patient monitoring device transmitted from one or more neighboring wireless devices connected to the WLAN using out-of-band radio communication; and connecting the wireless patient monitoring device to a second AP of the WLAN different from the first AP, based on the received AP information. The AP information may include a list of APs to which the one or more neighboring wireless devices are connected, along with corresponding signal strengths. The patient monitoring device may use the list of APs to determine a scanning strategy for selecting an appropriate AP to connect to.

Methods and systems are provided for signal offloading in an mmWave environment (e.g., in the event of high fading). The methods and systems include one or more mmWave nodes that are each configured to wirelessly communicate with a user device in a geographic service area and a Wi-Fi access point configured to wirelessly communicate with the user device. The methods and systems determine that fading or loading of an mmWave signal transmitted by one of the one or more mmWave nodes is above a threshold. In response to the fading or loading being above the threshold, the methods and systems redirect a control signal of the user device through the Wi-Fi access point to the one or more mmWave nodes, such that the user device maintains a dual connection with the Wi-Fi access point via the control signal and the mmWave node.

A method is performed by a target Central Unit (CU) during a handover of a migrating node from source CU and source Distributed Unit (DU) to the target CU and a target DU. The method includes transmitting, to the target DU, a first handover command for at least one child node of the migrating node being handed over from the source CU and source DU to the target CU and target DU.

A user equipment (UE), next generation NodeB (gNB), or other network component can operate to configure a group configuration message that initiates a plurality of UEs in a coverage area of a non-terrestrial network (NTN) to concurrently transfer communication from a first beam of a first satellite to a second beam of a second satellite. The communications of one or more UEs can be re-directed to the second beam of the second satellite based on downlink control information of the group configuration message.

A method for a User Equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system can comprise receiving, from a first cell, a first signaling indicative of a configuration of at least a second cell, receiving, from the first cell, a second signaling to switch a Special Cell (SpCell) of the UE to the second cell, wherein the second signaling comprises at least one of a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) signaling or a Medium Access Control (MAC) Control Element (CE), performing a procedure to switch the SpCell of the UE in response to the second signaling, performing one or more actions in response to detecting a failure of the procedure, including: initiating a random access procedure on the second cell, transmitting a report to a network of the first cell, wherein the report indicates the unsuccessful switching of the SpCell to the second cell, or initiating a RRC connection re-establishment procedure.

Techniques for wireless communications are described. A communication device, for example, a user equipment (UE) may transmit a request message to a target master base station based on a change in a state of the UE, and receive a response message from the target master base station based on the transmitted request message from the UE. The response message may include secondary node (SN) information and UE context reference shared to the target master base station from a source master base station (also referred to as a primary base station). The SN information corresponding to the same secondary base station associated with the UE while previously connected to the source master base station. The UE context reference may be stored at the same secondary base station.
