In the field of communication technologies or the field of artificial intelligence, a terminal scanning method, system, and apparatus, an electronic device, and a storage medium may be provided. In the method, an AP determines, based on communication feature information of a terminal that accesses the AP, whether a neighboring AP needs to scan the terminal; and if yes, the AP notifies the neighboring AP to scan the terminal. This reduces a quantity of times that the neighboring AP scans the terminal, and reduces calculation overheads of the neighboring AP.

Inter-alia, a method is disclosed comprising: determining conditional cell release information indicative of at least one condition based on which a configured cell of a cell group of a mobile communication network is to be released; and releasing the configured cell based, at least in part, on the conditional cell release information. It is further disclosed an according apparatus, computer program and system.

A handover processing method includes: providing multicast service information to a target base station based on target information of the target base station; where the target information includes at least one of following: base station type, supported service information, unsupported service information, or load information.

This application discloses an access control list (ACL) configuration method and apparatus. A first base station may include a user plane Internet Protocol (IP) address of the first base station in signaling such as a handover request message, a configuration update message, or a secondary station addition request message, so that a target base station can obtain the user plane IP address of the first base station without performing a transport network layer (TNL) address discovery procedure. Then, an ACL can be configured based on the obtained IP address. Therefore, a case in which a packet sent by the first base station is discarded by a second base station in a base station handover scenario can be effectively avoided, and data transmission reliability can be improved.

According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the method by means of which a mobility management entity (MME) determines the communication mode of a terminal in a communication system includes the steps of: receiving, from the terminal, an access request including information on the position of the terminal; transmitting a message to a home subscriber server (HSS) on the basis of the received access request; receiving, from the HSS, specific position information for setting a first mode; comparing the information on the position of the terminal with the specific position information; and determining the communication mode of the terminal according to the result of the comparison. According to the present disclosure, the frequent transmission of small amounts of data can be supported in an efficient manner.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Generally, a user equipment (UE) may communicate with a first network device in a first communications system (e.g., a non-standalone (NSA) system) prior to initiating a handover to a second communications system (e.g., a standalone (SA) system). In some examples, the UE may receive a first tracking reference signal (TRS) from the first network device using a first transmission configuration indicator (TCI) state. The first network device may include an indication of the first TCI state in a control message. The UE may initiate a handover from the first network device to the second network device. Subsequent to the handover, the UE may receive a second TRS from the second network device. The UE may receive the second TRS using the first TCI state based on determining that one or more antenna port configuration conditions are satisfied.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. The method may include a user equipment (UE) receiving first control information indicative of an information element (IE) that includes a set of inter-cell mobility parameters. Moreover, the UE may receive second control information indicative of a change in operating status of a TRP. The change in operating status may include transitioning the TRP to one of a primary TRP or an additional TRP as supported by a corresponding inter-cell mobility parameter of the set of inter-cell mobility parameters. The UE may then communicate with a network entity via the TRP in accordance with the change in operating status.

Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for prioritized random access during handover are provided. One method may include transmitting, by a source network node, a handover request to a target network node. The handover request may include an indication of a recognition of prioritized random access for a user equipment. The method may also include receiving an acknowledgement from the target network node, building a reconfiguration message, for the user equipment, comprising a prioritized set of random access parameters, and transmitting, to the user equipment, the reconfiguration message comprising the prioritized set of random access parameters.

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.

A radio base station (MN) receives the configuration information related to the secondary cell group and executes the conditional adding/modifying procedure of the secondary cell based on the received configuration information. The radio base station receives configuration information including execution condition of a secondary cell group and identification information of a secondary cell from a plurality of secondary nodes.
