A computing device includes: a wireless communication interface; and a processor configured to: establish a connection with a wireless network; while a network-layer status of the connection is active, monitor attributes of the connection at the wireless communication interface, the attributes including (i) a number of uplink packets transmitted since a most recent downlink packet was received, and (ii) a time period elapsed since the most recent downlink packet was received; determine that the attributes meet recovery criteria indicative of a network-layer interruption in the wireless network; in response to the determination, control the wireless communication interface to initiate a recovery action to resolve the network-layer interruption.

Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for power saving for reduced capability devices. The method may include receiving a higher layer configuration from a network element. The higher layer configuration may include a slot type configuration for at least one of a first bandwidth communication and a second bandwidth communication. The method may also include performing, based on the higher layer configuration, in a certain slot, data communication with the network element under one of the first bandwidth communication or the second bandwidth communication.

The disclosure relates to a 5G or 6G communication system for supporting a higher data transmission rate. Embodiments herein provide an apparatus and method for verifying authenticity of a BH-RLF. A method is provided for using a new message to verify the authenticity of the BH-RLF. A method is provided for using existing and/or message over an F1AP and an RRC to verify the authenticity of the BH-RLF. A method is provided for using a hash based procedure for protection of the BH-RLF indication. A method is provided for generating a unique secret key at an parent IAB node and a child IAB node to protect the BAP control messages. Further, a method is provided for re-using ICMP ping messages to check the destination availability based on a received BH-RLF indication.

Embodiments herein relate to for example a method performed by a radio network node for handling a communication of a user equipment, UE, in a wireless communication network. The radio network node transmits a handover command for handing over the UE, from a source cell to a target cell, wherein a security parameter for encrypting data communicated between the radio network node and the UE is retained during the handover. Furthermore, the radio network node maintains a sequence number status for reception and/or transmission of a signalling radio bearer of the UE during the handover from the source cell to the target cell, and/or at a fallback from the target cell to the source cell, when the UE triggers the fallback to the source cell.

To manage configuration, a UE receives, by processing hardware and from a radio access network (RAN), conditional configuration information including (i) a conditional configuration related to a base station operating in the RAN, and (ii) a condition to be satisfied before the UE applies the configuration (702). The UE receives, by the processing hardware and from the RAN, a message including an indication that the UE is to add, modify, or release a radio bearer (RB) (704), and determines, by the processing hardware, to ignore the conditional configuration in response to receiving the message (706).

Embodiments of the present invention relate to a reassociation indication method and apparatus, and a communication device. The method comprises: sending a beacon frame of a multi-transport connection, the beacon frame comprising a reassociation information element; the reassociation information element comprising: indication information used for indicating reassociation request frame transmission.

Disclosure discloses a method and a device in a node used for wireless communications. A node first receives first information, and then transmits a first signal and triggers a first timer, the first timer is expired and triggers a first procedure; the first information is used to determine a first time interval length; the first timer is started in a first time window, the first time window comprising a positive integer number of slots; a time interval between an end time of transmission of the first signal and a start of the first time window is equal to the first time interval length; the first procedure is related to the type of the first timer. By associating a start time of timing of the first timer with the first time interval length, the present disclosure optimizes the RRM and/or RLM timer design in NTN, thus improving the overall performance.
