Abstract: A method of operating an arrangement of a plurality of network nodes arranged in a linear configuration, each of which network nodes being capable of directly communicating with n neighbouring network nodes located in either direction of the linear arrangement of network nodes. Operation of the nodes includes determining and assigning an unambiguous and individual rank to each one of the plurality of network nodes. Each rank indicates a position of the respective network node within the linear network. The ranks orderly increase from one end of the linear arrangement of network nodes to the other end. The network nodes toggle between a first and a second mode of operation. A power consumption of the network nodes in the first mode of operation is lower than in the second mode. Messages are transmitted along the linear arrangement of network nodes using a non-synchronised, zero-signalling, stateless multipath and multi-hop message routing protocol, via network nodes that are in the second mode of operation.

Abstract: Demodulation Reference Signal (DM-RS) density is adapted in wireless communication networks. A receiver, especially a user equipment (UE), submits a request to a transmitter, especially to a base station, to change the DM-RS density. The transmitter monitors feedback of the receiver relating to the quality of reception. And the transmitter decides, in dependence of the feedback, whether to indicate a change of DM-RS.

The user-equipment device determines radio channel quality conditions of the used beam or cell based on a measured Channel Quality Indicator and sends, if poor channel quality is determined, a duplication of a local-model-update report in a time-frequency domain A base station configures time-frequency resources in a dedicated manner with a Radio-Resource-Control-reconfiguration message and/or system information.

Abstract: A wireless relay communication apparatus communicates over a first and a second wireless communication channel, which are incompatible in at least one property, aspect, or parameter. A message indicating a capacity to act as a relay in the second communication channel is transmitted over the first or the second wireless communication channel. A transmission, received over the second communication channel from a source communication apparatus, includes information enabling the relay communication apparatus to determine that the transmission is to be relayed to a destination communication apparatus. Accordingly, the relay communication apparatus relays the transmission to the destination communication apparatus over the second communication channel.

Abstract: A handover is performed of a user equipment from a first base station to a second base station in a wireless network. The user equipment performs random access to the second base station using a Random Access CHannel occasion from a subset selected from a set of Random Access CHannel occasions according to a Quality Of Service (Qos) profile assigned to the user equipment. A user equipment and a base station and a system implement corresponding methods.

A random access scheduling configuration is obtained for at least said user equipment. The configuration includes at least a Random Access delay value. A timer, which is configured according to the Random Access Delay value, is started upon reception of a handover command from the first base station. A delayed random access procedure is triggered to the second base station when timer expires.

Abstract: For Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning (AI/ML) model based operation in wireless radio access network, different combinations of Base Station-User Equipment (BS-UE) formations are used to manage signaling traffic overhead and device power consumption due to AI/ML use. Multi-communication modes are selectively activated based on parameter set generated as ML parameter profile and UE ML capability profile information. UE mobility and clustering are also used to determine the relevant communication mode as triggering method.

Abstract: A swarm of automated entities is coordinated and managed. The swarm includes at least a designated master and a slave. A swarm management module is instantiated at the master. The swarm management module includes a mission planning manager adapted to receive or load a mission and to provide a mission configuration. The designated swarm master is configured to announce itself over a communication module and a communication link, and to request at least one automated entity different from and external to the master to join in the performance of the mission as swarm slave. Reachable potential slaves receive a master announcing message that announces a mission type. At least one of the slaves that has a profile matching the announced mission type sends, in return, at least one swarm joining message.

Abstract: Controlling data transmission in a cellular network system according to cell deactivation based on a quality of service (QoS) of user equipment. A network cell determines a time interval for uplink data transmission of user equipment according to the quality of service of the user equipment. Based on whether a deactivation time of the cell serving the user equipment will expire before the time interval, the user equipment may trigger a handover to a target cell before expiration of the deactivation time.
