A wireless communication node sets a downlink target value of a received power of a downlink from an upper node based on a received power of an uplink from a lower node, and transmits, to the upper node, power control information based on the downlink target value.

A communication method and an apparatus. The method includes: a terminal device receives measurement configuration information from a first network device, where the measurement configuration information indicates the terminal device to measure a first cell. The terminal device sends a measurement result to a second network device, where the measurement result is obtained by the terminal device by measuring the first cell based on the measurement configuration information, and the measurement result indicates that the terminal device obtains a signal of the first cell through measurement or does not obtain a signal of the first cell through measurement. Based on the indication, of the measurement result, that the terminal device obtains the signal of the first cell through measurement or does not obtain the signal of the first cell through measurement, whether coverage of the first cell needs to be corrected may be further determined.

A communication device is provided that makes a single or a plurality of functions desired by a service user act on a packet desired by the service user in a service for transferring a packet in a network. A communication device is provided that includes a communication unit that communicates with another node and a control unit that controls the communication by the communication unit, in which the control unit generates path information with a target node, and in the path information with the target node, at least information regarding communication with at least a single relay node that exists between the communication device and the target node, information regarding a function to be performed by the relay node, and content of processing according to the function execution result by the relay node are written.

A configuration utilising L1/L2 signaling to activate or deactivate a direct link in dual or multi-connectivity with relaying devices. The apparatus communicates with a base station using a direct link and using a relay link. The relay link comprises a side link between a first UE and a second UE and a second direct link between the second UE and the base station. The apparatus transmits or receives a request to deactivate the direct link based on a determination by at least one of the base station, the first UE, or the second UE that the direct link between the first UE and the base station is to be deactivated. The request to deactivate the direct link comprises L1 or L2 signaling. The apparatus receives a deactivation command to deactivate the direct link.

There is provided mechanisms for providing wireless network access to an external wide area network. A method is performed by a user terminal device. The method includes establishing a wireless connection to a gateway device located in a vehicle. The user terminal device is identified as a client to the gateway device. The user terminal device uses the gateway device as gateway for all data traffic exchanged between the user terminal device and the external wide area network. The method includes establishing wireless network access for the gateway device to the external wide area network. The gateway device is operatively connected to the external wide area network via the user terminal device. The user terminal device bridges all data traffic communicated between the gateway device and the external wide area network.
