An end point (EP) device may communicate with multiple gateways via wireless signals, e.g. wireless broadcast signals. An EP device is controlled, under the direction of a control server, e.g., an application server, to communicate via a single gateway. The control server associates the EP device with a single target gateway and/or uses EP transmission power control training iterations to reduce the EP transmission power level until the EP device is only able to successfully communicate its wireless signals to a single gateway.

A network node is provided. Processing circuitry of the network node is configured to configure a wireless device with a transmission time interval, TTI for use in operating a first physical channel. The physical channel includes a first reference radio resource. A power control dynamic range scheme is determined, the determination includes: if the TTI is greater than the threshold, selecting a first power control dynamic range for the first physical channel; and if the TTI is less than the threshold, selecting a second power control dynamic range for the first physical channel, the second power control dynamic range being different from the first power control dynamic range. A power for the first reference radio resource in the first power control dynamic range is the same as a power for the first reference radio resource in the second power control dynamic range.

The method can quickly and reasonably determine uplink sending parameters of a terminal, so that a control device in a satellite mobile communication system allocates a relevant resource to the terminal according to the obtained uplink sending parameters of the terminal, thereby guaranteeing reasonable use of system resources.

A CSI-constrained UE grouping system for dense uplink NOMA systems.

Disclosed is a method for determining open loop power control parameters. A first set of key performance indicators associated with a first set of open loop power control parameters is obtained from one or more first base stations. A statistical model is determined based at least partly on the first set of key performance indicators and the first set of open loop power control parameters. A second set of open loop power control parameters is determined based at least partly on the statistical model.

Dynamic data rate selection in wireless networks is described. The includes sending, by a wireless controller to a base station, an access point power-data rate table. The base station updates a base station power-data rate table with the access point power-data rate table based on checking defined thresholds, confirms the validity of the updated base station power-data rate table by receiving measurements from a user device responsive to communications using the updated base station power-data rate table, reverts to a previous base station power-data rate table if the measurements indicate that the updated base station power-data rate table is not correct, and sends to the wireless controller one of the updated base station power-data rate table or the previous base station power-data rate table. The wireless controller updates the access point power-data rate table and sends the updated access point power-data rate table to an access point.
