Provided is a method for data transmission from a user equipment to a remote server by means of a base station of a cellular network, wherein the user equipment is configured to carry out payload data transmission to said remote server. It comprises: carrying out a first signaling data transmission to the base station, determining a first power value representative of the power spent for said first signaling data transmission, maintaining the first power value as reference value, carrying out a second signaling data transmission to the base station, and determining a second power value representative of the power spent for said second signaling data transmission.

A user equipment (“UE”) described herein may use automated techniques to receive one or more mode triggers, each including one or more sensor profiles. The UE may monitor data from one or more sensors associated with the UE and may compare the data to the profiles. The UE may determine that the sensor data matches a profile; and may disable one or more wireless features. The UE may continue to monitor sensor data and may determine that an exit trigger condition has been satisfied based on the received data. The exit trigger condition may specify a particular mode trigger; and a set of exit sensor profiles that corresponds to an exit of the particular mode trigger. The UE may, based on determining that the exit trigger condition has been satisfied, activate one or more wireless features. The sensor profiles and/or exit trigger conditions may be received from a cloud-based entity.

A communication method and apparatus are provided, to resolve a problem that timeliness of data transmission is affected because a communication connection is not established in time. A network protocol stack is deployed for each of a service processing unit and a wireless communication unit in a first communication apparatus. In this way, before the service processing unit enters a working mode, the wireless communication unit may establish a transmission channel with a second communication apparatus based on the deployed network protocol stack. After the service processing unit enters the working mode, the service processing unit exchanges data with the second communication apparatus through the transmission channel based on the deployed network protocol stack.

Methods, systems, and devices for dynamically configuring connected discontinuous reception (C-DRX) configurations supporting network power modes are described. In some examples, a user equipment (UE) may receive a first control signaling configuring the UE with multiple C-DRX configurations, each C-DRX configuration of the multiple C-DRX configurations corresponding to a respective network power mode. In some examples, the UE may receive a second control signaling including an identifier indicating a C-DRX configuration, of the multiple C-DRX configurations, corresponding to a first network power mode (e.g., an enhanced network power savings mode) at a base station, where the first network power mode may indicated a set of features active at the base station. The UE may communicate with the base station in accordance with the indicated C-DRX configuration and based on the first network power mode.

Such methods include receiving, from a network node of the wireless network, one or more conditional measurement configurations, each including: a measurement configuration associated with one or more cells, and one or more measurement conditions that need to be fulfilled to apply the measurement configuration, including at least one first execution condition related to UE data traffic and/or one or more UE applications. Such methods include monitoring for the measurement conditions included in the respective conditional measurement configurations and, based on detecting fulfillment of one or more measurement conditions included in a particular conditional measurement configuration, applying the measurement configuration included in the particular conditional measurement configuration towards measurements of the associated cells. Other embodiments include complementary methods for a network node, as well as UEs and network nodes.

This application discloses a connection establishment method, apparatus, device, and storage medium. The method includes: receiving, by user equipment UE camp on or connected to a single frequency network SFN cell group, access-related information sent by a network-side device; and establishing a connection with a target cell based on the access-related information, where the target cell is a cell/TRP layer specific cell or transmission reception point.
