A method of coordinating a plurality of radio access networks (RANs) includes aggregating, with a gateway, communications interfaces between a plurality of RANs and a packet core network through the gateway. A plurality of radio nodes (RNs) in each of the RANs is communicatively coupled to the gateway and to user equipment (UE) devices associated with the RNs in each of the RANs. The gateway also controls and coordinates mobility of the UE devices within and among the RANs. In addition, the gateway acts as a virtual enhanced NodeB (eNB) to the packet core network, thereby hiding the aggregated communications interfaces from the packet core network.

Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, detecting a transit speed of a device, resulting in a detected transit speed; responsive to the detected transit speed satisfying a first threshold, including information in a message related to a handover request between a first access point of a network and a second access point of the network, the information being indicative of an amount of time that the device has been in a Discontinuous Reception (DRX) mode; and sending, to the first access point with which the device communicates and is transitioning away from, the message including the information that is indicative of the amount of time that the device has been in the DRX mode. Other embodiments are disclosed.

A method for controlling base stations in a wireless communication system may include: performing a monitoring operation on a first base station forming a first cell in a predetermined communication area; determining whether the first base station needs to be replaced; when the first base station needs to be replaced, controlling a second base station to move in a direction of the first base station and form a second cell; when coverages of the first and second cells overlap fully or partially, decreasing a transmit power of the first base station and increasing a transmit power of the second base station; and in response to identifying that all of one or more communication nodes connected to the first cell are handed over to the second base station, determining that the first base station is successfully replaced with the second base station.

[Object] To make it possible to perform measurement reporting suitable for an environment in which the on/off state of a cell is switched. [Solution] There is provided a device including: an acquiring unit configured to acquire information indicating that a serving cell is scheduled to be in an off state; and a control unit configured to perform measurement reporting before the serving cell is in the off state.

A user equipment (UE) may establish a wireless connection with a WiFi network, and may perform a measurement associated with a fifth generation (5G) ultra-wideband radio access network. The UE may determine whether the measurement satisfies a signal strength threshold, and may selectively perform a first action or a second action based on whether the measurement satisfies the signal strength threshold. The first action may include providing an indication of an availability of the 5G ultra-wideband radio access network, for display, when the measurement satisfies the signal strength threshold. The second action may include maintaining the wireless connection when the measurement fails to satisfy the signal strength threshold.

There is provided an apparatus and method for use with a moving vehicle. The apparatus comprises antenna circuitry for communicating with a main cell using an antenna configuration. Configuration circuitry performs an analysis process in which the antenna configuration is changed to communicate with and create a measurement of each of a plurality of candidate cells including the main cell, and to provide a result of the analysis process to the main cell. Control circuitry causes the configuration circuitry to perform the analysis process with a predetermined period. The control circuitry is configured to dynamically change the predetermined period based on at least one characteristic of a received signal of the main cell.

Techniques are described for wireless communication. A method for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE) includes identifying, while the UE is in a connected mode with a network, a radio resource configuration of the UE, selecting a dedicated set of resources for the UE or a common set of resources for a plurality of UEs based at least in part on the identified radio resource configuration, and transmitting a pilot signal to the network using the selected set of resources. Methods for wireless communication at a network access device and a network access device controller are also described.

Methods, systems, and storage media are provided for exiting conditional handovers and for estimating a user equipment mobility state. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

This disclosure describes a request distribution system that can intelligently distribute transportation requests to provider devices to improve transportation system network coverage and efficiency. For example, the disclosed systems can identify one or more provider devices (e.g., limited-eligibility provider devices or full-eligibility provider devices) as potential recipients for a transportation request. In some embodiments, the disclosed systems can further determine an expected change in network coverage time associated with providing the transportation request to one provider device versus another. The disclosed systems can provide the transportation request to a provider device according to the expected change in network coverage time and/or other transportation request metrics.

The present invention provides a control method of a communication device, wherein the control method includes the steps of: controlling a wireless communication module of the communication device to use a first channel to communicate with a wireless device; when the wireless communication module is using the first channel, detecting a plurality of channels to generate a plurality of quality parameters, respectively; referring to the plurality of quality parameters to determine if the plurality of channels have a second channel whose quality parameter is better than the quality parameter of the first channel; and if there is the second channel whose quality parameter is better than the quality parameter of the first channel, selectively controlling the wireless communication module to use the second channel to communicate with the wireless device.
