Provided are a method of selecting configuration based on UE speed and a device supporting the method. According to one embodiment of the present invention, a method for selecting configuration based on UE speed in a wireless communication system includes: receiving a first configuration and a second configuration from a network; if the UE is able to measure a speed of the UE by using a global positioning system (GPS), selecting the first configuration, and scaling values in the first configuration based on the speed of the UE; and if the UE is not able to measure the speed of the UE by using the GPS, selecting the second configuration.

An apparatus comprises: 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: use a first base station central unit coupled to a first base station distributed unit in dependence on a computational capacity of the first base station central unit.

Determining to initiate a user equipment handover event based on a signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio value is disclosed. The disclosed subject matter can employ the signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio value in lieu of a reference signal receive power value. In an aspect, a handover based on the signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio value can generally be determined faster and with greater reliability than basing the handover on the reference signal receive power value. In an aspect, some embodiments can substitute a determined uplink signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio value for a downlink signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio value. In some embodiments, a predicted signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio value can be determined based on historical channel characteristics, hysterical wireless network environment features, or other historical data. A predicted signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio value can be validated to a determined current signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio value, permitting a validated predicted value to be employed until a next validation event.

During operation, an access point aggregates communication-performance information and behavior information in a wireless local area network (WLAN) corresponding to an electronic device, where the communication-performance information and the behavior information are aggregated over a time interval that is longer than an instance of a connection or association of the electronic device to the WLAN. Then, the access point provides the communication-performance information and the behavior information to a second electronic device. After receiving information about another instance of a connection or association of the electronic device to the WLAN, the access point provides a request to the second electronic device for historical information about communication performance and behavior of the electronic device in the WLAN. Moreover, after receiving the historical information, the access point selectively provides the transition recommendation in the WLAN to the electronic device, where the transition recommendation is based at least in part on the historical information.

The described technology is generally directed towards having a wireless network device assist a user equipment to facilitate narrow beam handover. A network device determines narrow beam handover candidates of neighbor cell sites based on geometric relationships between the user equipment, a serving cell site and the neighbor cell site candidates. Historical information such as previous narrow beam handovers from a serving beam to neighbor narrow beams can be used to select a lesser number of the possible candidate beams. The network device sends the candidate beams to the user equipment, which then measures and reports the measurements to the network device. If handover criteria based on the measurement is met, the network device orders a handover to a selected narrow beam, e.g., the narrow beam with the best measurement data of the candidates.

Wireless access points detect neighboring wireless access points in different subnets. Upon connecting with a wireless client, a wireless access point determines predictive roaming information for the wireless client. Predictive roaming information identifies the wireless client; its home network subnet; and includes connection information associated with the wireless client. The wireless access point forwards the predictive roaming information associated with a wireless client to neighboring wireless access points while the wireless client is still connected with the wireless access point. Neighboring wireless access points store received predictive roaming information. Upon connecting with a wireless client, a neighboring wireless access point determines if the wireless client matches the stored predictive roaming information. If so, the neighboring wireless access point uses the predictive roaming information to quickly connect with the wireless client and to establish a tunnel to redirect network traffic associated with the wireless client through to its home subnet.

Aspects of the present disclosure provide an apparatus, system, and methods for a service recovery scan process in wireless communication using auto-learning mechanisms to record the location history of a user equipment (UE) during out-of-service (OOS) and service recovery. The UE determines that it lost service from a serving network. The UE determines its location where the UE lost the service. The UE determines a plurality of recovery networks corresponding to the serving network based on the location and a recovery history of the UE. The UE scans the plurality of recovery networks to recover service in an order based on respective weights of the plurality of recovery networks. The UE updates the weights based on the recovery history of the UE. Other aspects and features are also claimed and described.

A method of controlling admission of a user equipment to a cell of a multi-mode base station, being a base station arranged to operate as a plurality of cells, the plurality of cells comprising at least a first cell and a second cell, and the method comprising: determining information relating to the first cell, and controlling admission of a user equipment to the second cell in dependence on the information relating to the first cell.

In a cellular communications network, user equipment connected to a base station, the active mode handover behavior of the base station for selecting handover targets is set to be different from idle mode reselection. The MME provides its eNodeBs with supplemental information about other PLMNs which can be considered for handover in accordance with dynamic criteria such as the time, location, subscriber group, etc to allow dynamic handover to other PLMNs in accordance with the commercial agreements.

According to the cell handover method, apparatus, and system provided in this application, cell handover is controlled using the MEC server to improve efficiency of the cell handover.
