Systems, apparatuses, and methods are described for wireless communications. A base station may determine configuration parameters for a wireless device. The configuration parameters may be based on traffic pattern information received from the wireless device, such as a traffic periodicity, a timing offset, and/or a message size.

Disclosed are techniques for wireless communication. In an aspect, a vehicle communications system of a vehicle comprises a vehicle controller with a wireless communications interface capable of providing wireless coverage in a plurality of vehicle regions, and a set of relay devices that are each communicatively coupled to the vehicle controller and are each capable of providing wireless coverage in at least one of the plurality of vehicle regions. In a further aspect, the vehicle controller transitions between first and second modes of communication based in part upon a traffic condition.

A method, a device, and a non-transitory storage medium are described in which a radio and core integrated layers service is provided. The service provides a direct mapping of a quality of service flow between a packet data unit layer and a service data adaptation layer associated with a user plane function and a central unit-user plane function without an intermediary mapping of a tunneling protocol in the user plane.

An apparatus according to an aspect of the present disclosure is a mobile relay station mounted on a vehicle, including: an antenna system capable of transmitting and receiving radio waves both inside and outside the vehicle; and a wireless control station capable of controlling directivity of the antenna system and having a function of switching between a first relay mode and a second relay mode described below, wherein the wireless control station switches the first and second relay modes on or off based on predetermined control information. First relay mode: mode for relaying communication between a wireless communication device outside the vehicle and a wireless communication device inside the vehicle. Second relay mode: mode for relaying communication between a wireless communication device outside the vehicle and another wireless communication device outside the vehicle.

A network controller monitors a wireless access node for a fault. The wireless access node experiences the fault and scans for wireless Integrated Access and Backhaul (IAB) service. The network controller detects the fault and directs a neighbor access node to deliver the wireless IAB service. The neighbor access node delivers the wireless IAB service in response to the network controller. The wireless access node detects the wireless IAB service from the neighbor access node and exchanges fault data with the network controller using the wireless IAB service delivered by the neighbor access node. The network controller exchanges the fault data with the wireless access node using the wireless IAB service delivered by the neighbor access node. An Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF) or a User Plane Function (UPF) may detect a lack of signaling or data from the wireless access node to detect the fault.

An Access Point (AP) connection device establishes a virtual Inter-Process Communication (IPC) connection with each of a plurality of APs. The AP connection device establishes a Controlling and Provisioning of Wireless Access Points (CAPWAP) tunnel connection with a wireless Access Controller (AC).

A communication control apparatus according to a first feature is used in a mobile communication system. The communication control apparatus includes: a controller configured to perform control related to a radio access bearer established between a user terminal and a serving gateway. The radio access bearer is configured with: a first bearer between the user terminal and a base station; and a second bearer between the base station and the serving gateway. The communication control apparatus is positioned on the second bearer. The controller is configured to maintain at least some sections of the second bearer without releasing, even when the first bearer is released.

A gateway apparatus including a first inter-device interface configured to communicate with a monitoring apparatus; a second inter-device interface configured to communicate with multiple subordinate base station apparatuses; a memory; and a processor coupled to the memory. The processor is configured to generate first configuration information when second configuration information is received from the monitoring apparatus via the first inter-device interface. The processor generates the first configuration information by performing protocol conversion of converting the second configuration information into a format adapted to the second inter-device interface for the multiple base station apparatuses. The processor is further configured to transmit the generated first configuration information to the multiple base station apparatuses via the second inter-device interface, and divide the multiple base station apparatuses into predetermined groups. The processor transmits the first configuration information to the multiple base station apparatuses at a different timing for each of the groups.

A mobile communication system includes a control device and a base station device. Data communication between the control device and the base station device is conducted using a fixed-length data size and a variable-length data size. The control device transmits information indicating whether a data size of the data communication has a fixed length or a variable length. The base station device receives the information from the control device.
