This disclosure provides systems, methods, apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media that support station performance enhancement with multi-link operations. An example method may include determining at least one network metric related to at least one link between a station (STA) and access points (APs) and determining at least one connection parameter related to at least one application operating on the STA. The method may include selecting a mode of multi-link operations based at least in part on the network metric and the connection parameter, wherein the mode of multi-link operations comprises one or more of: a multi-link mode in which the STA operates over a first link and a second link at a same time or a single-link mode in which the STA operates over one of the first or second links and communicating with the one or more APs according to the selected mode.

A method and device for improved audio intelligibility in a converged land mobile radio (LMR)/broadband (BB) communications system is provided. A converged portable radio operating as part of a talkgroup in the LMR/BB system checks for predetermined triggers during standby that could cause receive radios of the talkgroup to receive degraded audio. If such a trigger is detected then the converged portable radio switches from the LMR system to the BB system and transmits a notification including a change system message to the other converged portable radios of the talkgroup. The notification is transmitted prior to any push-to-talk audio being transmitted from the originating radio. The converged portable radio can transmit, via a push-to-talk switch, narrowband (NB) audio and wideband (WB) audio in parallel over the BB system to the talkgroup subsequent to the detection of triggers and the sending of the notification.

The present disclosure relates to a 5th generation (5G) or pre-5G communication system for supporting a higher data transmission rate after a 4th generation (4G) communication system such as long-term evolution (LTE). According to various embodiments of the present disclosure, a method performed by a server in a wireless communication system may include receiving key performance index (KPI) information, cell coverage information and service quality information of a base station of a sector managed from a KPI data base (DB), a cell coverage DB, and a service quality DB, generating a predicted KPI, predicted cell coverage and predicted service quality information of the base station of the sector based on the KPI information, the cell coverage information and the service quality information, predicting whether a load imbalance occurs including the base station of the sector based on the predicted KPI, the predicted cell coverage and the predicted service quality information, determining a load balance (LB) parameter rule set including one or more predicted LB parameters based on predicting whether the load imbalance occurs, and transmitting the LB parameter rule set to the base station of the sector is provided.

This application provides a communication method and a communication apparatus. The communication method includes: An access stratum of a terminal device receives a quality of experience QoE measurement result and first indication information from an upper layer of the access stratum. The access stratum of the terminal device determines, based on the first indication information, to send the QoE measurement result to a master node or a secondary node of the terminal device. Therefore, in this application, the upper layer of the access stratum of the terminal device sends, to the access stratum, the QoE measurement result and the first indication information corresponding to the QoE measurement result, so that the terminal device in the MR-DC architecture can send the QoE measurement result to the correct access network device.

A method and communication system has been developed to increase the number of messages sent over a bandwidth limited channel and/or under noisy conditions by using a variable message length encoding and decoding scheme. With this technique, the messages having a higher probability of being sent are shorter as compared to the messages that are less likely to be sent under the current conditions. With this technique, a higher number of transactions per unit of time can be communicated and/or executed over a given bandwidth limited channel. When the transmitted message is received, the receiver does not know the message length, but the receiver deduces the length by using information from various error detection and correction techniques, such as forward error correction (FEC) and cyclic redundancy check (CRC) techniques.

A method and system for controlling carrier load in a wireless communication system that supports multiple user equipment devices (UEs) each being primarily connected with a first access node on a first carrier and each having a respective secondary connection for dual-connectivity service. An example method includes (i) monitoring a distribution of the respective secondary connections of the UEs among being on a second carrier and being on a third carrier, the third carrier having wider bandwidth than the second carrier, (ii) based on the monitoring, determining that at least a predefined threshold portion of the UEs have their secondary connections on the third carrier rather than on the second carrier, and (iii) based at least on the determining, taking action to control load on the first carrier, such as limiting a maximum number of UEs allowed to be concurrently connected with the first access node on the first carrier.

A computer implemented method performed by a network node in a non-public communication network is provided. The method includes predicting a subsequent position of a first communication device served by a public communication network, wherein the first communication device is causing an interference level on the non-public communication network. The method further includes estimating a level of subsequent interference from the first communication device for the subsequent position. The method further includes initiating control of radio resources to reduce the estimated interference level from the first communication device.

Embodiments are directed towards providing 5G zero touch traffic management of cells in a network. A target cell associated with a network objective is identified. One or more neighbor cells are also identified. Transmit power and tilt capabilities of the target cell are determined. An interference between the target cell and the one or more neighbor cells is also determined. An electrical antenna tilt adjustment or a transmit power adjustment is determined for the target cell to apply based on the transmit power capabilities, the tilt capabilities, the interference, and the network objective. The determined electrical antenna tilt adjustment or the determined transmit power adjustment are then provided to the target cell. If the network objective is met after the target cell applies the electrical antenna tilt adjustment or the determined transmit power adjustment, then the changes are confirmed, otherwise they are reversed.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described that support resource utilization based event triggering. A wireless node in a wireless communications system may establish a connection with a core network via a path that includes one or more relay nodes. The wireless node may determine that a network load associated with one or more paths between the wireless node and the core network has changed, or that a difference between two or more network loads of different paths has changed. Based on such a determination, the wireless node may transmit a report to the network. In some cases, the network may receive the report from the wireless node, and may initiate a path change based on the report.
