A method for keeping remote connection, an electronic device, and a server are provided. After establishing a first network connection, the electronic device enters a power-saving state from an operation state. While operating in the power-saving state, a communication module of the electronic device continuously detects a keep-alive packet transmitted by the server via the first network connection. If an error of reception of the keep-alive packet occurs, the electronic device returns to the operation state from the power-saving state in response to a wake-up signal, so as to re-establish a second network connection between the electronic device and the server.

There are provided measures for enabling/realizing an inactive communication mode, namely an inactive mode for the operation of terminal equipment and network equipment in a communication system. Such measures exemplarily comprise operation in a connected mode, in which a data plane connection and a control plane connection are established between a terminal equipment and a network equipment, transition from the connected mode to an inactive mode upon data plane inactivity, and operation in the inactive mode, in which the data plane connection is released and the control plane connection is maintained between the terminal equipment and the network equipment.

An apparatus and method for a task and energy efficient Black Box (BB) are disclosed. The various embodiments of the disclosure enable, support and/or provide a configuration paradigm enabling an energy limited device or “BB” to achieve optimal energy usage and the communication transmission scheme used. In the “deployed mode”, rather than wasting precious energy broadcasting a signal when no one can receive such energy, the unit operates in a stand-by dormant mode, managing its resources at a low level of energy consumption. In this mode, the unit simply listens to an activation signal coming from an “interrogator” transponder hat has actually deployed in the vicinity (within range). When the device detects an activation signal, it becomes “awaken” and it will then start broadcasting its ping.

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to handling physical downlink control channel skipping and wake up signaling. According to example embodiments of the present disclosure, there is provided a solution for handling WUS occasions and the PDCCH skipping. In this solution, the device may determine whether to skip monitoring the PDCCH and determine whether to skip monitoring the WUS based on the type of PDCCH. The device may also determine when to transmit the WUS based on the type of the PDCCH. In this way, the WUS and the PDCCH skipping can be configured simultaneously and the power can be further saved.

Methods, apparatus and systems are disclosed for receiving an IEEE 802.11 frame at a WLAN station, determining whether the frame is decodable and addressed to the WLAN station, and entering a reduced power state if the frame is not decodable or not addressed to the WLAN station.

A method of controlling a location acquisition, a user terminal and a device are provided. The method includes: determining whether a predetermined condition is satisfied; in the case that the predetermined condition is satisfied, sending control information configured to control a relevant behavior of acquiring a location of the user terminal.

A wireless communication method of a receiver, including performing a first determination of whether to decode a control channel of a current time transmission interval (TTI) based on control channel information of a previous TTI; decoding the control channel of the current TTI based on a result of the first determination; performing a second determination of whether a data channel is included in the current TTI based on a result of the decoding; and performing a third determination of whether to deactivate a communication interface configured to process a received signal based on a result of the second determination

The present disclosure provides a communication apparatus, comprising: Primary Connectivity Radio (PCR) circuitry which, in operation, receives, from an Access Point (AP), an element that indicates at least one WUR discovery channel used for transmission of a WUR Discovery frame; Wake Up Receiver (WURx) circuitry which, in operation, is used to scan WUR discovery channels for WUR Discovery frames; and a controller which, in operation, prompts the WURx circuitry to scan a WUR discovery channel from the at least one WUR discovery channel based on information, received at the PCR circuitry or the WURx circuitry, that represents a number of APs for each of the at least one WUR discovery channel, each of the APs transmitting WUR Discovery frames on the WUR discovery channel.

A method performed by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system is provided. The method comprises receiving configuration information on a multicast broadcast service (MBS), and receiving, based on the configuration information, MBS data in a radio resource control (RRC)_Connected mode. The MBS data is transmitted to plurality of UEs including the UE for multicast transmission, or to the UE for unicast transmission. A Hybrid Automatic Repeat and request (HARQ) retransmission is applied to a transmission of the MBS data.

A method and an apparatus for Bluetooth connection are disclosed. A first Bluetooth connection can be established between a first node of multiple data receiving nodes and a data source, the multiple data receiving nodes can share a data packet transmitted by the data source via the first Bluetooth connection, and a second node can be selected according to a preset rule from among the multiple data receiving nodes to feed back a response signal to the data source. In a method and an apparatus, the multiple data receiving nodes can be regarded as a whole, which share a data packet transmitted from the data source and jointly maintain the first Bluetooth connection, and only one of the multiple data receiving nodes is selected to feed back a response signal. Conforming to Bluetooth communication protocols, a method and an apparatus can meet the demanding requirements on hardware resources of a Bluetooth connection among a data source and multiple data receiving nodes. A one-to-many Bluetooth connection can be realized which saves power consumption without additionally upgrading the data source.
