Abstract: In one embodiment, a first wireless access point (AP) of a first basic service set (BSS) receives, from a second wireless AP of a second BSS, data indicative of an 802.11-based target wake time (TWT) schedule of a client of the second BSS. The first wireless AP identifies, from the receive data, a scheduled communication time of the client of the second BSS in the TWT schedule. The first wireless AP generates an 802.11-based TWT schedule for a client of the first BSS that avoids the scheduled communication time of the client of the second BSS. The first wireless AP sends the generated 802.11-based TWT schedule to the client of the first BSS, wherein the sent TWT schedule causes the client of the first BSS to wake from sleep at a scheduled wake time.

Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, systems, etc., directed to resource solicitation for Fog Radio Access Network (RAN) are disclosed herein. For some embodiments, a wireless transmit receive unit (WTRU) may receive a Fog-Resource Solicitation, for example included in a paging message, for joining a Fog Radio Access Network (RAN) platform (e.g., soliciting resources). The WTRU may accept or decline the Fog-Resource Solicitation, for example, based on any of the solicited resources and the WTRU status. In case the WTRU accepts the fog-Resource Solicitation, the WTRU may establish a connection to the RAN for indicating an acceptance of the Fog-Resource Solicitation. In case the WTRU declines the Fog-Resource Solicitation, the WTRU may ignore the Fog-Resource Solicitation or respond to the Fog-Resource Solicitation by establishing a connection to the RAN, indicating a declination of the solicitation. For some embodiments, a WTRU may trigger sending a RRC-Connection Release Request to e.g.

Abstract: A mobility management entity (MME) can enable overload control of data transmission via control plane in an evolved packet system (EPS), optimized for cellular internet of things (CIoT), by use of a control plane data backoff timer that suppresses the use of control plane for data transfer by a user equipment (UE) for the duration of the timer. For example, an MME sends a control plane data backoff timer to a UE that suppresses the use of control plane for data transfer for the duration of the timer. Alternatively, when an MME load reaches a threshold, an MME triggers an Overload Start message and sends it to the RAN node, so that the RAN node can restrict selecting this MME for UEs requiring data transfer using control plane CIoT optimization. The RAN node can reject these UEs and return a wait timer in an RRC Connection Release message.
