An access and mobility management function (AMF) of a network receives, from a wireless device, a registration request message. The AMF sends, to the wireless device, a registration accept message comprising an access traffic steering, switching, and splitting (ATSSS) capability indication of the network.

A method and system for controlling data split of a dual-connected user equipment device (UE) when the UE has at least two co-existing air-interface connections including a first air-interface connection with a first access node and a second air-interface connection with a second access node. An example method includes (i) comparing a level of insertion loss of the first air-interface connection with a level of insertion loss of the second air-interface connection, (ii) based at least on the comparing, establishing a split ratio that defines a distribution of data flow of the UE between at least the first air-interface connection and the second air-interface connection, and (iii) based on the establishing, causing the established split ratio to be applied. Further the method could include using the comparison as a basis to set one of the UE's air-interface connections as the UE's primary uplink path.

Methods and apparatus relating to dynamically switching between split-option architectures of wireless networks based on real-time and non-real-time measurements and inputs wherein the split-option architectures are switched to optimize user equipment (UE) experiences and network performance are disclosed.

The present disclosure provides a source integrated access and backhaul (IAB)-central unit (CU) in a communication system and a method thereof. The method may comprise: sending, to a target IAB-CU, a request message including information for requesting to configure a relay node to migrate; and receiving, from the target IAB-CU, a response message including information for configuring the relay node to migrate.

Various embodiments herein provide techniques for integrated access and backhaul (IAB) nodes. For example, embodiments include techniques associated with: rate-proportional routing for network coding; utilizing multiple routes in IAB networks; user equipment (UE) and parent selection for efficient topology in IAB networks; establishing efficient IAB topologies; and/or adaptive coded-forwarding for network coding.

A user equipment (UE) is configured to establish network connections for long-term evolution (LTE) and new radio (NR) radio access technologies (RATS) in non-standalone (NSA) E-UTRA-NR dual connectivity (ENDC) operation. The UE includes a multi-antenna array for data and signaling transmissions and receptions over the LTE and NR connections. The UE determines a most efficient antenna of the multi-antenna array for an operating frequency band of the LTE and NR connections, wherein the most efficient antenna is determined based on at least one performance factor for the UE when using the antenna compared to other antennas of the multi-antenna array, evaluates one or more factors for determining whether the LTE RAT or the NR RAT is to use the most efficient antenna and transmits uplink data on the most efficient antenna via either the LTE RAT or the NR RAT based on the evaluated factors.
