A user equipment (2) has an ability to operate according to one or more spectrum emission requirement capability values (14) in a wireless communications network having at least a first serving cell (4). A message (6) is received at the user equipment (2) from the first serving cell (4) comprising a first indicator representing a first band designation (8), a second indicator representing a spectrum emission requirement value (10), and at least one additional indicator representing at least one additional spectrum emission requirement value (12), both the first and additional indicators relating to the first band designation. The user equipment (2) performs a comparison of the first and additional spectrum emission requirement values (10, 12) with the one or more spectrum emission requirement capability values (14) and determines a behaviour of the user equipment (2) in relation to the first serving cell (4) in dependence on the comparison.

Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, determining dual connectivity values for neighbor cells of a serving cell of a wireless network. A dual connectivity capability is determined of a wireless device that engages in wireless communications coordinated by the serving cell. A target cell of the neighbor cells is determined based on a dual connectivity value. Initiation of a dual connectivity service is facilitated based on the wireless device via the target cell, wherein the target cell serves as a master cell of the dual connectivity service, and wherein the dual connectivity service includes exchanging user plane messages between the wireless device, the master cell and a secondary cell of the wireless network. Other embodiments are disclosed.

A mobile telecommunications system anchor base station for a mobile telecommunications system is described. The mobile telecommunications system has at least one anchor cell and at least one slave cell which is associated with the anchor cell. The anchor base station has a circuitry which is configured to transmit system information based on beam information.

Provided is a process, medium, or system including using block chain as a distributed routing environment for contract based handoff to route streaming data to edge-based data centers.

There is provided an apparatus comprising at least one processor; and at least one memory including computer program code, the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to perform: receiving, from a network node, configuration for a conditional change of primary cell of a secondary cell group; performing evaluation of one or more conditions for the conditional change; selecting a primary cell based on the evaluation; determining an activation status to be applied for a target secondary cell group associated with the selected primary cell based on at least one of the following: activation status of a source secondary cell group, the received configuration, pre-configuration; executing the conditional change to the selected primary cell; and applying the determined activation status for the target secondary cell group associated with the selected primary cell.

A cell switch-off method, a terminal device, a network device, and a storage medium, used for reducing the signaling overhead of switching off a first cell, such that the network device achieves fast energy saving. The method comprises: a terminal device receives an indication message sent by a network device, the indication message being used for indicating that the network device will close a first cell.

Embodiments of a user equipment (UE), an access node and a slice-based handover method are provided. In an embodiment of the method, a service request is sent from a UE to an access node. Multiple candidate slice instances provided by cells of the access node and its neighbor nodes that support the service request are then selected. Various measurement objects with respect to each candidate slice instance are measured and a measurement report is sent to the access node by the UE. A target cell with at least one slice instance that supports the service request is decided from the candidate slice instances according to the measurement report. Finally, a control command is sent to the UE by the access node to configure a connection between the UE and the target cell.

A method and apparatus for intra-frequency cell reselection considering radio capability in a wireless communication system is provided. A wireless device may receive, from a cell, barring information informing that the cell is barred. A wireless device may receive, from the cell, a radio capability-specific intra-frequency cell reselection indicator (IFRI) related to a number of Rx branches and/or reception power. A wireless device may determine whether to perform intra-frequency cell reselection, based on the radio capability-specific IFRI.

The disclosure relates to a fifth generation (5G) or sixth generation (6G) communication system for supporting a higher data transmission rate. A method performed by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system is provided. The method includes entering a radio resource control (RRC) connected mode with a first primary cell (PCell), performing secondary node addition procedure with a primary secondary cell (PSCell), and storing visited information associated with the first PCell and the PSCell in case that the first PCell is changed to a second PCell and the PSCell is released at the same time as the change of the first PCell to the second PCell.

Aspects of the present disclosure propose solutions to a problem of mobility interruption during handover between base stations by providing a UE with mechanisms to report the UE capability for simultaneous connectivity based handover, or so-called Dual Active Protocol Stack Handover (DAPS-HO). A UE reports the DAPS-HO capability of the UE to the network and then the base station initiates physical layer procedures to carry out DAPS-HO in accordance with the DAPS-HO capability reported by the UE. Aspects of the present disclosure also provide examples of signaling that may be used by the UE for reporting DAPS-HO capability to the network and the physical layer procedures that the UE may follow in accordance with the configuration that the network provides to the UE, which should be in accordance with the UE's capability.
