Abstract: A method in a distributed unit (DU) of a distributed base station for managing early data transmission includes receiving (2402), from a user equipment (UE) when the UE operates in an inactive state associated with a protocol for controlling radio resources, (i) data and (ii) a message formatted in accordance with the protocol. The method further includes transmitting (2404), to a central unit (CU) of the distributed base station, the message via a control plane interface, and transmitting (2406) the data to the CU.

Abstract: To process early data transmissions from a UE, a distributed unit (DU) of a base station transmits, by processing hardware, a preconfigured uplink resource (PUR) configuration to the UE in a release message that instructs the UE to transition to an inactive state (610). While the UE is in the inactive state, the DU receives, by the processing hardware from the UE, a data packet via a PUR resource configured in the PUR configuration (612).

Abstract: A radio access network (RAN) for configuring a user equipment (UE) transmits, to the UE, (i) a conditional configuration related to a base station operating in the RAN, and (ii) a condition to be satisfied before the UE applies the conditional configuration during a conditional procedure (1802), determines subsequently to the transmitting, that the UE is to perform an immediate procedure related to the RAN (1804), and provides, to the UE, an indication that the UE is to release the conditional configuration (1806).

Abstract: A secondary base station (BS) for performing a modification procedure with a master BS comprises a storage device for storing instructions and a processing circuit coupled to the storage device. The storage device stores, and the processing circuit is configured to execute instructions of transmitting a first message comprising a first radio resource control (RRC) message and a secondary BS configuration to the master BS, wherein the secondary BS configuration comprises a plurality of configuration parameters; modifying the secondary BS configuration to a modified secondary BS configuration according to a master BS configuration, when receiving a second message comprising the master BS configuration from the master BS in response to the first message; and transmitting the modified secondary BS configuration to the master BS.

Abstract: A method for handling a security authentication between a communication device, a source base station (BS), a target BS and a wireless local area network (WLAN) termination (WT) comprises the source BS performing a handover with the target BS and the WT; the source BS transmitting a RRCConnectionReconfiguration to the communication device, after performing the handover; the communication device performing a random access procedure with the target BS, after receiving the RRCConnectionReconfiguration; and the target BS transmitting a confirm message to the WT after performing the random access procedure, wherein the confirm message indicates that the RRCConnectionReconfiguration is received by the communication device.

Abstract: An electronic device includes a storage unit and a processing unit. The storage unit is configured for storing specific information. The processing unit is coupled to the storage unit and for controlling and accessing the storage unit. The processing unit is capable of accessing the specific information within the storage unit to control the electronic device to send the specific information to an access point device so as to make the access point device treat a multicast/broadcast frame as a unicast frame and transmit the unicast frame by using unicast transmission.

Abstract: A method of back-off procedure setup in a wireless communication system, comprising initiating an enhanced distributed channel access (EDCA) transmit opportunity (TXOP) for transmission by a primary access category (AC), sharing the EDCA TXOP with at least a secondary AC, determining whether an initial frame of the primary AC is successfully transmitted, determining whether one or more frames of one of the at least a secondary AC are successfully transmitted during the EDCA TXOP, determining whether to invoke a point coordination function inter-frame space (PIFS) recovery procedure for the secondary AC if the one or more frames of the secondary AC are not successfully transmitted during the EDCA TXOP, setting a contention window of the secondary AC by an enhanced distributed channel access function (EDCAF) of the secondary AC, and setting a back-off timer of the secondary AC after the end of the EDCA TXOP.

Abstract: A method for negotiating a power management mode between a first wireless device and a second wireless device is provided. One of the first and second wireless devices is a mobile device, and the other of the first and second wireless devices is an access point. The method includes: transmitting a first information from the first wireless device to notify the second wireless device whether the first wireless device supports a power management mode; and receiving a second information transmitted from the second wireless device to the first wireless device, the second information being used for indicating whether the second wireless device supports the power management mode.
