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 relay wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) may be configured to receive information indicating characteristic(s) associated with a remote WTRU. The relay WTRU may receive configuration information associated with the relay WTRU. The relay WTRU may determine whether a remote WTRU is supported by the neighbor cell. The determination may be based on whether the characteristic(s) associated with the remote WTRU are supported by the neighbor cell. The relay WTRU may determine a behavior of relay WTRU based at least the configuration information and the percentage of remote WTRU(S) that is supported by the neighbor cell. The determined behavior may be associated with the neighbor cell. In examples, the determined behavior of the relay WTRU may be based on the percentage of remote WTRU(s) that is supported by the neighbor cell being above or below a threshold.

A master node apparatus comprising: means for connecting to a user equipment and at least one secondary node in a multi-connectivity network; means for sending a message comprising an information element to the user equipment, wherein the information element indicates that either: a primary cell connected to the master node apparatus should be used as a special cell for determining a cell change execution condition for a target primary secondary cell; or a primary secondary cell connected to one of the at least one secondary node and identified by an identifier in the information element should be used as the special cell for determining the cell change execution condition for the target primary secondary cell.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A network entity may support communications with a user equipment (UE) that is moving at a first speed that meets or exceeds a threshold via a cell that is configured to support such communications, which may be referred to as a high speed train (HST) cell. The network entity and the UE may support cell acquisition that prioritizes camping on an HST cell over a non-HST cell. The UE and the network entity may communicate acquisition signaling associated with establishing a connection with the network entity using a first frequency associated with an HST cell and a non-HST cell. Based on an identifier indicating that the HST cell is an HST cell, the UE may prioritize the HST cell over the non-HST cell during cell acquisition and establish the connection with the network entity via the HST cell.

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.

Disclosed are a control method for supporting multiple connections in a mobile communication system and an apparatus for supporting multiple connections. In the method for supporting the multiple connections to be performed in first and second base stations, a first base station receives the measured results for multiple connections from a terminal, determines whether the plurality of connections are set on the basis of the measured results, transmits the information for setting the multiple connections to the second base station when setting the multiple results, and the second base station generates the control information for setting the multiple connections of the terminal on the basis of the information for setting the multiple connections received from the first base station. Thus, the multiple connections can be easily supported and the performance of the mobile communication system can be improved therethrough.

Methods and systems are described for triggering conditional handovers in user equipment, such as wireless devices in communication systems. Triggering conditions can comprise location, timer, and signal quality-based conditions. Triggering conditions can be combined together and can be evaluated in hierarchical order depending on user preference, so as to prioritize location, timer, signal quality, or other factors.
