One example method which may be performed by a source base station (BS) includes: determining to migrate a child node from a first logical IAB-distributed unit (DU) of an IAB-node to a second logical IAB-DU of the IAB-node, wherein the first logical IAB-DU is associated with the source BS, and wherein the second logical IAB-DU is associated with a target BS; sending, to the target BS, context information of the child node served by the first logical IAB-DU in response to the determination; and indicating, to the target BS, a traffic mapping configuration at the IAB-node associated with the context information and a backhaul connection of the IAB-node. | 2022-07-07 |
20220217571 | Method Performed by a Core Network Node for Deciding How to Shape a Specific Data Flow - A method performed by a core network node for deciding how to shape a specific data flow out of a number of data flows between a Radio Access Network, RAN, node and multiple User Equipments, UEs, in a wireless communications network is provided. The core network node obtains ( | 2022-07-07 |
20220217572 | SIGNAL TRANSFER DEVICE, SIGNAL TRANSFER METHOD, SIGNAL TRANSFER CONTROL DEVICE, SIGNAL TRANSFER CONTROL METHOD AND SIGNAL TRANSFER PROGRAM - There are included a control unit configured to, when detecting that no high priority traffic frame arrives for a frame interval threshold or longer in the period that allows high priority traffic frames to be transmitted, release the period that allows high priority traffic frames to be transmitted and allocate the released period to the period that allows low priority traffic frames to be transmitted, a frame arrival time information acquisition unit configured to obtain information of frame arrival times of high priority traffic frames, a frame interval calculation unit configured to calculate, in accordance with the information of frame arrival times obtained by the frame arrival time information acquisition unit, frame intervals between frames of the high priority traffic frames input in chronological order, a frame interval threshold calculation unit configured to calculate a new frame interval threshold in accordance with the frame intervals, and a frame interval threshold configuration unit configured to change the frame interval threshold to the new frame interval threshold. | 2022-07-07 |
20220217573 | Method and Apparatus for Seamless Realtime Transitions Across LTE/WI-FI - A method and apparatus for seamless real-time transitions across LTE and Wi-Fi networks are disclosed. The disclosed method and apparatus relate to determining which communications networks to use when communicating between a UE and a network within an Enterprise Network (EN). In some embodiments, a Communications Client Application (CCA) operates within a selected UE and a Communications Server Application (CSA) operates on the network side of the Enterprise Network. Both the CCA and the CSA act together in concert to coordinate the transmission of packets between the UE and the network using either LTE or Wi-Fi networks. For seamless communications, some embodiments use a single VPN tunnel through which to transmit data packets. In other embodiments, for seamless communications, two VPN tunnels are used, one for LTE packet transfers, and one for Wi-Fi packet transfers. | 2022-07-07 |
