Provided is a system including: a first vehicle equipped with a land mobile station for mobile communication; and a second vehicle that transports the first vehicle and a user holding a terminal for mobile communication. The system further includes a control unit configured to acquire radio wave intensity of the mobile communication at a current location of the second vehicle, and generate, when the acquired radio wave intensity is less than a predetermined intensity, a command to unload the first vehicle from the second vehicle; and generating a command to relay the mobile communication by the land mobile station of the first vehicle.

A system and a method are provided for a network access point device for use with a network extender device and a display device. The network access point device is configured to initiate an onboarding process to onboard the network extender device, to generate data to enable the display device to display a connecting status image when the onboarding process has started, to periodically check the connection state of the network extender device, and to generate data to enable the display device to display a connected status image after the network access point has been successfully onboarded.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some communications systems, interference may impede signaling between a base station and a target user equipment (UE) such that a base station may identify a donor UE to relay communications to the target UE. The donor UE may receive a coded data packet from the base station, and may identify a radio network temporary identifier (RNTI) scrambling code for the packets addressed to the target UE. In cases where the donor UE identifies that the packet has an RNTI scrambling code associated with the target UE, the donor UE may forward the coded data packet to the target UE base on the RNTI scrambling code. Such early detection of data packets addressed to the target UE may allow for the UE to forward a data packet without fully decoding the packet.

Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for channel access using an intelligent reflecting surface (IRS). A method that may be performed by a network entity includes monitoring candidate paths for channel access, wherein the candidate paths include one or more paths through an intelligent reflecting surface; determining at least one path among the candidate paths for communications with a first wireless node based at least in part on one or more criteria associated with the candidate paths and obtained from monitoring the candidate paths; and communicating with the first wireless node via the at least one path.

Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to methods and apparatus for wireless communication, and more specifically to advertising discovery information, relaying discovery information, and to the secure relay of discovery information in wireless networks. Various frame structures are provided for such transmitting and relaying of discovery information. According to certain aspects of the present disclosure, security is provided for relaying discovery information. According to certain aspects of the present disclosure, compensation may be provided to a device that relays discovery information (e.g., when the relaying results in a transaction).

A distributed utility system includes water source supply lines capable of being placed in fluid communication with a separate water source, water discharge lines capable of being placed in fluid communication with a separate water discharge destination, a water source and destination control manifold to allow selected water source supply lines to be placed in fluid communication with selected water discharge lines, and a storm water collection and distribution system. The storm water system includes a storm water collection conduit and a collected storm water discharge line in fluid communication with the storm water collection conduit, and the storm water discharge line can be placed in fluid communication with the plurality of water discharge lines via the control manifold. The distributed utility system further includes a utility line disposed within at least one of the water source supply lines, water discharge lines and collected storm water discharge line.

Among other things, a communication system comprising at least one remote unit and controller is described. The at least one remote unit wirelessly exchanges radio frequency (RF) signals with mobile devices. Each RF signal comprises information destined for, or originating from, at least one of the mobile devices. The at least two remote units and the controller communicate baseband data corresponding to the information across an intermediate network. The at least two remote units each implement at least some physical layer processing for an air interface used to wirelessly communicate with the subscriber devices. The controller is configured to perform at least some receive signal processing using combined data resulting from combining at least some of the baseband data communicated from more than one of the at least two remote units.

Provided are an access method and transmission point. In the embodiments of the present invention, indication information sent by a second transmission point is received by means of a first transmission point and is used for indicating that said second transmission point supports relay functionality, such that said first transmission point is capable of accessing, according to the indication information, the wireless access network on which the second transmission point is located; thus the first transmission point is taken as a relay node and accesses the wireless access network.

According to one embodiment of the present invention, a method by which a terminal for supporting device to device (D2D) communication relays a D2D signal comprises the steps of: transmitting, by the terminal, a D2D signal to be relayed to a neighboring terminal; and relaying a signal transmitted by the neighboring terminal, on the basis of the information on the D2D signal, wherein the information on the D2D signal includes information on D2D power, and the information on the D2D power can be determined by considering a reception power difference between D2D signals transmitted on mutually adjacent frequencies.

A wireless network extender device for use with a wireless access point device being connected to a wireless network, and being configured to transmit an onboarding communication on a current operating channel, said wireless network extender device comprising: a radio; a memory having instructions and country code data; and a processor configured to execute the instructions stored on said memory to cause said wireless network extender device to: receive the onboarding communication on the current operating channel; identify the determined maximum broadcasting power based on the onboarding communication and the country code data; and initiate the onboarding process with the wireless access point device at the determined maximum broadcasting power on the current operating channel.
