A method and apparatus for operating a user terminal in a satellite communication system during inter-beam handovers. In some aspects, the user terminal may determine an occurrence of an inter-beam handover for switching communication with a network controller of the satellite communication system from a first beam to a second beam. The user terminal measures a channel quality of the second beam based at least in part on the occurrence of the inter-beam handover, and sends the channel quality measurement to the controller via a reverse-link communication.

Various enhanced operational and communication handling techniques for satellite devices are discussed herein. In one example, a method of operating an orbital satellite device of a satellite cluster is provided. The method includes identifying operational status information for at least a peer satellite device in communication range of the satellite device. Based at least on the operational status information, the method includes selecting a quality of service level for communications to be transferred to the peer satellite device, and applying the quality service level to transmit data packets to the peer satellite device.

Methods and apparatus to migrate a mobile device from a first virtual private mobile network to a second virtual private mobile network are disclosed. An example apparatus includes a processor and a memory including instructions that cause the processor to perform operations including determining, based on a set of latency routing rules, that a communication transmitted via the first virtual private mobile network is a latency sensitive communication. In response to determining the communication is a latency sensitive communication, the mobile device that originated the latency sensitive communication is identified. The mobile device is communicating via the first virtual private mobile network. Example operations also include migrating the mobile device from the first virtual private mobile network to the second virtual private mobile network wherein the second virtual private mobile network is configured to reduce the latency of the latency sensitive communication.

A method of supporting communication using two or more heterogeneous radio access technologies (RAT) may include receiving, from a first communication network supporting a first RAT, a first message requesting notification as to whether access to a second communication network that simultaneously support the first communication network and a second RAT is supported; transmitting, to the base station in the first communication network, a second message including an indicator indicating whether to support simultaneous access to the first and second communication networks in response to the first message; and receiving a trigger condition for reporting a measurement result for the second communication network from the base station in the first communication network, when the indicator indicates that the terminal is able to access the first and second communication networks.

A system described herein improves user equipment (UE) access to call and data services provided by a network carrier by updating settings on the UE based device data from the UE. The updates may modify the UE hardware configuration, including activating or deactivating different network radios of the UE, enable or disable different call or data services accessed through the different network radios, and/or modify parameters controlling UE network selection and switching (e.g., handoff). In doing so, the system may improve the user experience when accessing wireless services of the network carrier and resolve quality issues whether due to poor signal strength, congested networks, or excessive network switching.

The method provided in this embodiment improves the capabilities of automatic driving and ADAS of electric vehicles. The method can be applied to vehicle networking, such as V2X, LTE-V, V2X, etc. The method includes receiving, from the mobile device, an indication of a requirement for transmission resources, comprising at least an indication that the resources are required with a periodicity, transmitting, to the mobile device, an assignment of a first scheduling configuration for the device-to-device connection, transmitting, to the mobile device, an indication to begin use of periodically recurring radio resources, and handing over responsibility for providing radio resources for the device-to-device connection from the network node to a target network node such that the availability of radio resources with the periodicity is substantially maintained.

Systems and methods are introduced for video-based channel selection in wireless network connected camera systems. In an illustrative embodiment, a computing system receives data of conditions in a wireless network and data indicative of characteristics of a video stream to be transmitted over the wireless network. The computing system processes the received data to select automatically a channel from a plurality of available channels that can accommodate the transmission of the video stream. The computing system then causes a wireless link, for example between a wireless camera and the wireless access point, to be established on the selected channel or causes an existing wireless link to move from a previous channel to the selected channel

A wireless device in a wireless communication system is configured to perform measurements on a set of candidate links for supporting a network node in the system to make a decision as to which of the candidate links is to be a target link for a link switch. The wireless device reports (e.g., at the physical layer) measured candidate links one link subset at a time in order of the wireless device's preference for the target link, until the wireless device receives a target indication signal indicating which of the candidate links in the set is to be the target link. Any given link subset reports one or more candidate links which the wireless device has measured for the decision. Responsive to receiving the target indication signal, the wireless device performs the link switch to the indicated target link.

Embodiments of this application relate to a call system, an extension, and a host in the field of communication technologies. An example call system includes a host and an extension. A network side device and the host are connected through a network side link, and the host and the extension are connected through a first terminal side link. The extension exchanges a call data packet with the network side device through the first terminal side link and the network side link. The extension and the host transmit the call data packet through a second terminal side link in response to determining that call quality of the extension is lower than a quality threshold. The first terminal side link is different from the second terminal side link.

A capability determination method and device, and a capability indication method and device. A base station sends capability information to a terminal. The capability information is configured to indicate a wireless charging capability of the base station. The terminal receives the capability information sent by the base station, and determines the wireless charging capability of the base station according to the capability information.
