Abstract:
In a network including a macrocell and a femtocell, a terminal measures a current mobility state indicating a base station that is currently associated with the terminal and a future mobility state indicating a base station that is to be associated with the terminal in the future, and calculates expectation rewards for the base stations in consideration of information on neighbor base stations provided from a serving base station. In addition, the terminal selects a base station providing the largest expectation reward.
Abstract:
An operation method of a first communication node in a communication system including an evolved packet core (EPC), a plurality of base stations, and a communication network connecting the EPC and the plurality of base stations may comprise transmitting a first message requesting a packet data network (PDN) connection to a second communication node included in the communication network; receiving a second message including an internet protocol (IP) address-related information from the second communication node; and dynamically assigning IP addresses to the plurality of base stations connected to the first communication node based on the IP address-related information.
Abstract:
A method of a first terminal may include: identifying first RB set(s) to be used for SL communication among consecutive RB sets through an LBT procedure; identifying a first subchannel group included in the first RB set(s) and a second subchannel group including a first PRB in the first RB set(s), the first PRB being not included in the first subchannel group; configuring the first PRB within the second subchannel group as an SL communication resource; and transmitting, to a second terminal, control information indicating that the first PRB is configured as the SL communication resource.
Abstract:
A method of a transmitting terminal may include: determining a beam candidate set including two or more beams usable for sidelink communication with a receiving terminal from among a plurality of beams that can be beam-formed; determining a resource set for each beam within the beam candidate set through resource sensing, such that the resource set has candidate resources equal to or greater than a predetermined number of candidate resources; selecting a beam and a resource to be used for sidelink communication with the receiving terminal based on the beam candidate set and the resource set; and transmitting sidelink data to the receiving terminal using the selected beam and the selected resource.
Abstract:
In a mobile communication network, after a target beam is determined based on signal intensity of a serving beam and a candidate beam, when the serving beam and the target beam are operated in the same base station, a terminal performs a beam switching procedure in a layer 2.
