SEAMLESS HANDOFF BETWEEN WIRELESS ACCESS POINTS (APs) WITH USE OF PRE-CONVERGENCE PACKET REPLICATION
A wireless telemetry process (WTP) may obtain telemetry data which includes signal strength information associated with a plurality of fabric wireless access points (APs) of a network fabric. The WTP may identify that a signal strength between a current AP and a wireless endpoint is below a threshold. In response, the WTP may select addresses of a set of handoff candidate APs for the wireless endpoint based on the signal strength information. The WTP may communicate, to a map server, a message to register, as entries in a replication list, a plurality of routing locators associated with the addresses of the set of handoff candidate APs for association with an address of the wireless endpoint. The map server may notify a router of the replication list, for replicating packets intended for the wireless endpoint to a plurality of routers that are connected to the set of handoff candidate APs.
CONTROL OF EXECUTION OF NFC HANDOVER OPERATION FOR WI-FI DIRECT CONNECTION
An example control method of an electronic apparatus includes, activating a near field communication (NFC) function, based on a terminal apparatus approaching within a threshold distance from an electronic apparatus and handover data being transmitted, performing an NFC handover operation, monitoring a Wi-Fi direct connection state between the terminal apparatus and the electronic apparatus, based on the Wi-Fi direct connection state being identified as a failure, inactivating the NFC function, and after a set time in a state wherein the electronic apparatus maintains the threshold distance with the terminal apparatus, reactivating the inactivated NFC function and reperforming the NFC handover operation based on the handover data.
Handover for a Device Served by an IAB Node
Example embodiments of the present disclosure relate to handover for a device (s) served by an Integrated Access and Backhaul (IAB) node. A first device receives indication information indicating a change of service availability of a second device that serves at least one third device. The first device determines, based on the indication information, whether a handover of the at least one third device from the second device is to be triggered. In accordance with a determination that the handover of the at least one third device is to be triggered, the first device transmits, to the second device, handover information indicating at least one fourth device selected for the handover of the at least one third device from the second device.
COMMUNICATION METHOD FOR TERMINAL DEVICE AND NETWORK SIDE DEVICE, AND TERMINAL DEVICE
This application provides communication methods for a terminal device and a network side device. In an example method, a terminal device establishes a primary communication link with a network side device. The terminal device detects one or more other terminal devices, determines, from the one or more other terminal devices, one or more terminal devices as one or more coordinated communication devices, and notifies the network side device of information indicating that a coordinated communication device is used for coordinated communication. The terminal device establishes a device-to-device (D2D)-based virtual multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) communication connection with the coordinated communication device, to form, between the terminal device and the network side device, a coordinated communication link relayed by the coordinated communication device. The terminal device performs parallel communication with the network side device based on the primary communication link and the coordinated communication link, or performs communication based on the coordinated communication link.
