Abstract: A method and apparatus for controlling measuring the frequency of a new cell within a forbidden registration area when a User Equipment (UE) enters into the new cell in a mobile communication system are provided. If the UE recognizes the new registration area as forbidden, the UE does not measure the frequency of the current cell for a predetermined reference time, and searches for a suitable cell for a normal service by measuring other frequencies. If no suitable cell in the other frequencies is found, the UE removes a measuring limitation and searches for an acceptable cell for a limited service by measuring frequencies including frequency of the current cell.

Abstract: Embodiments of a User Equipment (UE), an Evolved Node-B (eNB) and methods for communication are generally described herein. An UE may be configurable to operate as an eRelay UE. The eRelay UE may be configured to operate as a relay between an eNB and an eRemote UE.

Abstract: In aspects of packet segmentation and reassembly for mesh networks, a source node in a mesh network segments an access protocol data unit (PDU) into a set of segments that are concatenated with a segment transport header and transmitted over the mesh network in segmented access messages to a destination node. The destination node allocates memory to store the content of the access PDU based on a segment total field in the segment transport header, and stores each received segment at the appropriate offset in the allocated memory, based on a value of a segment offset filed in each segmented access message. The destination node transmits a segment acknowledgement message including a segment acknowledgement field indicating which of the multiple segments have been received by the destination node.

Abstract: A network device receives an attribute identifying paths associated with an open shortest path first (OSPF) domain of a network and an intermediate system to intermediate system (ISIS) domain of the network, and provides the attribute to other network devices of the network. The network device receives traffic destined for one of the other network devices of the network, and determines that a primary path is unavailable for routing the traffic to the one of the other network devices. The network device selects a secondary path from the paths identified by the attribute. The secondary path is selected based on determining that the primary path is unavailable, and the secondary path is associated with the OSPF domain or the ISIS domain of the network. The network device provides the traffic to the one of the other network devices via the secondary path.
