Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are disclosed for maritime communication. According to an embodiment, a network comprises a first server and a first base station at a first maritime vessel, and one or more second servers and one or more second base stations at one or more respective second maritime vessels. In response to a trigger event indicating that interference between at least two base stations of the first base station and the one or more second base stations is serious, the first server obtains a contribution value of the first base station to the network determined by the second server. The first server determines whether the first base station needs power reduction or power off based at least on the obtained contribution value. When determining that the first base station needs power reduction or power off, the first server sends an instruction for power reduction or power off to the first base station.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide communication method and communication apparatus. The communication method may be a method of auto switching muting condition of a participant in a voice related call. The method includes detecting the speaking intention of the participant; and auto switching the muting condition of the participant based on the detected speaking intention of the participant.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide methods and apparatuses for PCI collision detection. A method in a first network node comprises: receiving cell information of a second cell generated by a second network node, wherein the cell information comprises PCI of the second cell and position information of the second network node; when it is judged that the second network node is within a zone around the first network node based on the position information, determining whether a PCI of a first cell generated by the first network node is same as the PCI of the second cell.

Abstract: A method is implemented by a network device to establish secure communication over a maritime mesh network. The network device is in a local network of a communication system of a vessel in the maritime mesh network. The method includes receiving a communication session request from a local user device to access a remote service, determining whether the remote service is accessible via a terrestrial network available over the maritime mesh network, and establishing a secure tunnel between the network device and the terrestrial network for the communication session, in response to determining the remote service is accessible via the terrestrial network.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide methods and apparatuses for setting up and/or adjusting backhaul link in maritime network. A method in a first radio node in a first ship comprises: obtaining a first position and moving information of the first ship; receiving a second position and moving information of a second ship from a second radio node in the second ship; determining whether to connect to the second radio node to form a maritime network, based on radio measurements between the first and second radio nodes, the first position and moving information and the second position and moving information.

Abstract: The embodiments of the present disclosure provide a device and system for streaming media interaction. The device includes: a short range communication module; a wireless communication module configured to be capable of communicating with a remote server, a processor communicatively connected to the short range communication module and the wireless communication module; a memory having stored therein instructions which, when executed by the processor, enable the processor to: transmit, through the wireless communication module, a control input which is received through the short range communication module; receive a media stream responsive to the control input through the wireless communication module; and output the media stream to an external apparatus.
