Wireless communication equipment (12, 16) detects a targeted signature over time in a Doppler spread and/or an angular spread associated with a wireless communication device (12). Based on detecting the targeted signature, the wireless communication equipment (12, 16) detects a transition (14) by the wireless communication device (12) between an indoor environment (8) and an outdoor environment (6). In some embodiments, based on detecting the transition (14), the wireless communication equipment (12, 16) adapts one or more communication parameters, adjusts resources allocated to the wireless communication device (12), and/or initiates handover of the wireless communication device (12).

This disclosure relates generally to cell measurement, cell selection and cell re-selection in wireless communication networks. Performed by a wireless terminal in a wireless network, the method including determining an extended discontinuous reception (eDRX) cycle threshold associated with an access stratum function; determining a reference time window; determining whether the eDRX cycle of the wireless terminal is longer than the eDRX cycle threshold; and in response to the eDRX cycle being longer than the eDRX cycle threshold, configuring or performing Access Stratum (AS) related functions of the wireless terminal.

Systems and methods for transitioning a call between two devices are disclosed herein. An origin device for the call is determined based on a first position of an ultra-wideband (UWB) device. A destination device for the call is then determined based on a second position of the UWB device. The UWB device sends transition commands to both the origin device and the destination device, each transition command including an identifier of the other device. Using the identifier of the origin device, the destination device connects to the call the origin device is currently participating in. When the origin device detects that the destination device has connected to the call, the origin device disconnects from the call.

A method and a system for rail transit communication. The method includes: selecting a second target FSO transceiver from the FSO transceivers that are currently located within a signal coverage of a target FSO base station, in response to detecting that a first target free-space-optics (FSO) transceiver moves out of the signal coverage of the target FSO base station when data communication between the target FSO base station and the target user terminal is performed via the first target FSO transceiver, where the target FSO base station is one of the FSO base stations located on the rail; and maintaining the data communication between the target FSO base station and the target user terminal, by using the second target FSO transceiver. Handover among the base stations is reduced for user equipment, data communication rate is increased, and communication experience of passengers can be improved.

A load balancing method for cellular communication systems and communication systems in general is described where beam steering antenna systems on the client or user side of the communication link are used to optimize load balancing among the base stations or nodes. A system controller containing an algorithm is implemented to control the radiation modes from the client or user devices to assign the client or user devices to the various base stations or nodes and to dynamically vary the network load across the cellular or communication system.

Techniques for reducing latency between terminal stations in a wireless local area network. In an aspect, two stations in close proximity may be configured to associate with a common access point, by causing one or more of the stations to disassociate from a current access point and reassociating with the common access point. The identity of the common access point may be independently derived at each terminal station using simple broadcast messaging procedures, without the need for extensive communications or handshaking between the stations. In an alternative aspect, a terminal station may repeat the disassociation and reassociation procedures without knowledge of the other station's BSSID, until a measured latency drops below a threshold.

Wireless communications systems and methods related to communications in a wireless network during handover are provided. A method of wireless communication performed by a first base station (BS), may include communicating, based on a handover condition, flight path information associated with an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and performing a communication handover of the UAV between the first BS and a second BS.

A Mobile Station (MS) in a wireless communication system is provided. The MS includes, generating a message for requesting to generate a service flow, the message including mobility management information of the service flow, and transmitting the message including the mobility management information. The mobility management information is used to determine whether the service flow requires an anchor.

Methods, systems, and apparatuses are provided for a User Equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system comprises transmitting a first flight path report, to a network node, comprising multiple waypoints and receiving a first configuration of a distance threshold for flight path update. The method further comprises transmitting a UE assistance information including an indication of flight path available to the network node, if at least distance between previously provided location for one waypoint in the first flight path report and new location for the one waypoint is more than or equal to the distance threshold, receiving a UE information request indicating flight path request, and transmitting a second flight path report, via a UE information response, in response to receiving the UE information request.

The present disclosure provides a wireless communication method for rail transit. The method comprises: performing signaling interaction with a source cell base station after entering a source cell and obtaining a handover threshold parameter, the handover threshold parameter comprising distance information between a handover point and the source cell base station and signal intensity information; determining the handoff point based on the handover threshold parameter; and performing channel measurement when the handover point is reached and performing a handover from the source cell to a destination cell. The present disclosure also provides a terminal for use in rail transit. A handover point is accurately determined according the signal intensities of different terminal users in different directions, allowing the terminal users to complete a cell handover in only a single measurement process in most cases, which greatly reduces the number of measurements, reduces the costs of cell handovers, and improves the communication efficiency of the overall system.
