Abstract: Wireless User Equipment, UE, and network apparatuses may be adapted to facilitate continuity of Multicast/Broadcast Service, MBS, across cells. A UE in idle/inactive mode, for example, may receive MBS assistance information comprising scheduling information defining MB S reception windows and perform a cell re selection evaluation process accordingly. An UE in connected mode may conduct and report MB S quality measurements and receive an RRC reconfiguration comprising an MB S configuration for a target cell, determine that MBS transmission progress differs between the source cell and the target cell, and recover lost MBS PDUs or delete duplicate MBS PDUs accordingly. A network apparatus, such as a gNB for example, may map a GPRS Tunneling Protocol Sequence Number of an MBS PDU, to a Packet Data Convergence Protocol Sequence Number in a target cell, and determine an MB S configuration for use by a UE requesting a handover accordingly.

Abstract: An apparatus for inspecting a railroad track may include a first sensor, a second sensor, and a controller. The first sensor may detect a first signal while the second sensor may detect a second signal. The first signal may correspond to a response of the railroad track, at a first location on the railroad track, to a motion of a rail car wheel on the railroad track. The second signal may correspond to the response of the railroad track, at a second location on the railroad track, to the motion of the rail car wheel on the railroad track. The controller may generate, based on the first signal and the second signal, a transfer function corresponding to the response of the railroad track at the second location to stimuli applied at the first location. Defects in the railroad track may be detected by analyzing the transfer function.

Abstract: A caching entity may store a cached copy of a service layer resource. An original hosting entity may maintain a registry of the corresponding cached resources. Optionally, the original hosting entity may set cache parameters to govern the lifetime of the cache on a caching entity. The caching entity may keep storing the cached copy of the resource and the original hosting entity may obtain statistics about the cached resource. By knowing the statistics, e.g. how many times a resource is retrieved on each caching entity, the original hosting entity may better manage the resource.
