A node device for forming a multi-hop network is provided. The node device is configured to avoid interference from coexisting interfering networks and includes a transceiver configured to receive and transmit data with respect to a Destination Oriented Directed Acyclic Graph (DODAG) Information Object message (DIO message), a memory configured to store computer executable programs including an interfered-node count (IC), single-rate link count (SLC), multi-rate link count (MLC), hop count (HP), path communication latency (PCL) and an interference efficient and multi-rate supported routing program CoM-RPL, and a processor configured to perform steps of the computer executable programs. The steps include determining if the received DIO message indicates a new DODAG or an existing DODAG. In this case, if a determined result in the determining indicates the new DODAG and no single-rate link and no interfered node on a path of multi-hop network, the node device joins DODAG network and the processor selects a sender of the DIO message as a default parent, computes a rank for itself, updates DIO message with its rank, IC, SLC, TRM, HP, PCL and transmits scheduled DIO messages based on transmission rate mode.

A configuration for self interference and cross link interference (CLI) management of bidirectional smart repeaters. The apparatus transmits, to a first wireless device, a measurement configuration to measure interference. The measurement configuration comprising a first measurement occasion and a second measurement occasion. The apparatus receives, from the first wireless device, a report of measured interference at the first wireless device based on the measurement configuration. Part of the measured interference under the first measurement occasion is based at least on transmissions forwarded by a relay node.

A computer-implemented method determines a routing cost for routing data over a routing path between a first device in a first network and a second device, wherein the routing path has a path segment between a gateway device of the first network and a device in a second network, the gateway device being configured to establish a connection between the first and second networks. This method may include determining a routing cost for the path segment, the routing cost for the path segment having a default routing cost value that is based on capabilities of the gateway device and/or the communication technology; and determining the routing cost for the routing path based on the routing cost for the path segment. The invention furthermore relates to determining a route based on the routing cost, and to routing a data packet based on the route.

Aspects of the present disclosure relate to wireless communications, and more particularly, to techniques for a UE to determine whether to maintain or remove a radio frequency (RF) path from a set of candidate paths considered for transmit antenna switch diversity (ASDIV). The determination allows the UE to avoid signal loss or degradation in coexisting networks at similar frequency ranges. For example, ASDIV allows two or more antennas to form different input and output ports to establish different RF paths. Coexistent networks, such as wireless wide-area-network (WWAN) and wireless local-area-network (WLAN) may utilize different RF paths to optimize reliability and efficiency. The overlapping of the bands may cause signal attenuation or degradation from at least one of the networks. The present disclosure provides techniques for detecting signal attenuation at least partially caused by overlapping bands and removing an associated RF path to avoid such signal loss or attenuation.
