Abstract: The present disclosure relates to channel conflict processing methods and apparatus. In one example method, when a terminal device establishes a connection relationship with a source cell, and sends a connection request to or establishes a connection relationship with a target cell, the terminal device detects whether an uplink channel conflict occurs on an uplink channel of the source cell and an uplink channel of the target cell, where the source cell and the target cell are infra-frequency or intra-band contiguous inter-frequency. If the terminal device determines that an uplink channel conflict occurs, the terminal device sends a signal on an uplink channel with a higher priority between the uplink channel of the source cell and the uplink channel of the target cell.

Abstract: A system and method for increasing the efficiency of an avalanche relay scheme is disclosed. The system and method include a plurality of networked nodes communicating in a slot and subslot scheme, with transmissions of a first signal from a first subslot relayed in subsequent subslots. The method and system include transmitting an initial transmission that includes the first signal, and then continuing to transmit at least one of a retransmitted portion of the first signal, or a transmission of an algorithmically related signal based on the first signal. The receiving node combines the first signal with the retransmitted portion of the first signal or the algorithmically related signal to determine if the initial transmission is valid. Upon a determination that the initial transmission is valid, the relay node retransmits the initial transmission in a future subslot.

Abstract: A terminal first connects to a 5th generation (5G) standalone (SA) network and initiates a call to another terminal by using a Voice over New Radio (VoNR) technology. When the terminal fails to call the other terminal, the terminal disconnects from the 5G SA network, connects to a Long-Term Evolution (LTE) network, and then automatically initiates a call to the other terminal by using a Voice over LTE (VoLTE) technology.

Abstract: Systems and methods enhance handling, within an access point (AP) of a local area network, of content from a content provider. A content session core of the AP opens a session with the content provider and allows interaction between a user of a first end device and the content provider via the session. Content from the content provider is received at the content session core and forwarded for play on the first end device. The content session core may mirror the content to a second real end device without requiring an additional session with the content provider, and may switch play of the content from the first to the second end devices without disconnecting the session with the content provider. A wireless LAN controller enhances a connectivity experience of a mobile device by determining its location and predicting when to handoff connectivity between wireless APs of the LAN.

Abstract: This disclosure provides methods, devices and systems for channel sounding for wireless communications. Some implementations more specifically relate to scheduling sounding reference signal (SRS) resource sets for wireless devices having more than 4 receive (RX) antenna ports. In some implementations, a base station may determine an antenna switching capability of a user equipment (UE). The antenna switching capability indicates a number of RX antenna ports of the UE. The base station schedules a number of SRS resource sets for the UE based at least in part on the number of RX antenna ports in excess of four. For example, the number of RX antenna ports may be equal to 8. As another example, the number of RX antenna ports may be equal to 6. The base station further receives, from the UE, uplink transmissions of one or more SRS resources for each of the scheduled SRS resource sets.
