Abstract: Embodiments of the present application provide a coverage enhancement (CE) function implementation method and a device. The method may include obtaining, by a first radio access network node, CE authorization information of a terminal. The CE authorization information may include at least one of the following: CE indication information and an authorized CE level range. Further, the method may include determining, by the first radio access network node based on the CE authorization information, whether a CE level of the terminal meets an authorization requirement, and controlling, based on an authorization result, use of a CE function by the terminal. It can be learned that, not all terminals can use the CE function, but only an authorized terminal can use the CE function, to ensure that the terminal can use the CE function properly within an authorized range and to improve radio channel resource use efficiency.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides techniques for addressing switching times of Integrated Access and Backhaul (IAB) child nodes. For example, a parent IAB node may determine a switching time for the child IAB node to switch from transmitting on a backhaul/uplink to a parent node (with transmit power control) to transmitting on an access/downlink to a user equipment (UE) or other child IAB node. The parent IAB node may then configure the IAB child node according to the determined switching time (e.g., by scheduling the IAB child node accordingly or setting one or more timing advance parameters).

The first intermediate signal is transmitted to an interior of the building using a coaxial cable. The first intermediate signal is converted into a second signal associated with a second wireless protocol. The second signal is then transmitted in a second radio frequency spectrum using a second antenna interior to the building. The second signal is transmitted using the second wireless protocol.
