According to an exemplary embodiment, the method may include not limited to receiving a priority information of a LCH having a highest priority among a plurality of LCHs included in a BSR message which indicates a wireless resource to be needed for upstream data from a child node; determining whether a condition is met based on the priority information; and triggering a pre-emptive BSR message comprising the priority information in response to the condition having been met.
Abstract:
Embodiments of a user equipment (UE), an access node and a slice-based handover method are provided. In an embodiment of the method, a service request is sent from a UE to an access node. Multiple candidate slice instances provided by cells of the access node and its neighbor nodes that support the service request are then selected. Various measurement objects with respect to each candidate slice instance are measured and a measurement report is sent to the access node by the UE. A target cell with at least one slice instance that supports the service request is decided from the candidate slice instances according to the measurement report. Finally, a control command is sent to the UE by the access node to configure a connection between the UE and the target cell.

Abstract:
A congestion management method is provided. The radio access node detects and determining a congestion. The radio access node performs a process of a congestion mitigation decision if the congestion is detected and determined. The radio access node performs a congestion mitigation process based on a result of the congestion mitigation decision. The radio access node detects and determines a congestion relief The radio access node stops the congestion mitigation process, and the congestion control process according to the congestion is stopped accordingly.

A BSR method, adapted for UE is provided, including: receiving one or more preset configurations of one or more Buffer Size Tables (BSTs) from a network device, wherein the one or more BSTs are candidate BSTs to be selected as the target BST to the LCG; and in response to identifying the target BST used for the LCG, signalling an advanced BST indication to the network device, wherein the advanced BST indication is configured to record an advanced BST index and at least one of following information: a target LCID, and a target eLCID, wherein the network device queries a target Buffer Size (BS) range in the target BST according to the received advanced BST indication, and the network device grants a UL resource for the LCG based on the target BS range, wherein the target BS range is identified by a BS index of the target BST.
Abstract:
A PDCP SDU discard method, adapted for a UE, is provided. The method includes: setting one or more discard timers based on a RRC configuration transmitted from a network device; receiving a PDCP SDU from a upper layer, wherein the PDCP SDU corresponding to a PDU belonging to a PDU Set; and in response to receiving a PSI-based SDU discard indication from the network device, determining whether to discard the PDCP SDU or not according to a PSI of the PDU Set and a target discard timer. The step of determining whether to discard the PDCP SDU according to the PSI of the PDU Set and the target discard timer comprises: identifying the PSI of the PDU Set; determining the target discard timer corresponding to the PSI among the one or more discard timers; and discarding the PDCP SDU when the target discard timer is expired.

Abstract:
The disclosure is directed to a method and apparatuses for controlling quality of experience (QoE) based on UE assisted feedback. In one aspect, the method would include not limited to: receiving an enable indicator which indicates a first feedback signaling to be transmitted; performing a quality of experience (QoE) evaluation for fulfilling a performance requirement; and transmitting the first feedback signaling including a first preferred configuration of licensed wireless connection in response to performing the QoE evaluation, wherein the wireless connection comprises a licensed wireless connection and a licensed-assisted access connection.
Abstract:
A communication method comprises the following steps: receiving an IFOM triggering message by a packet data network gateway (P-GW); selecting one or more evolved packet system (EPS) bearers by the P-GW based on the IFOM triggering message, and making a bearer division if IP flows associated with a user equipment (UE) are not allowed to a first access network; sending a first request to the first access network in response to the bearer division; updating a mapping table if the first request is acknowledged by the first access network; and initiating a third generation partnership project (3GPP) bearer update procedure to move the one or more EPS bearers selected by the P-GW to the first access network.
