Abstract: To establish a multi-AP RRC connection with a user device UD the UD in the coverage area of multiple APs selects suitable ones as cluster set candidates and reports this list to a temporary serving AP the UD chooses. The multi-AP connection itself is setup by the cluster set manager CSM. The CSM collects information from each AP about control channels and load in order to choose which APs will be in the cluster, which will be the serving AP, and to setup the multi-AP connection with the UD. Multiple message exchanges are described for this purpose. Once the multi-AP connection is established, if the UD's connection with the serving AP fails the UD can handover to another AP of the cluster set without having to re-establish a new RRC connection. This is particularly useful for networks subject to severe shadowing effects such as mmWave 5G.

Abstract: A method is provided including determining, for each of a plurality of user equipments, a null cyclic prefix length for communication in a wireless network using null cyclic prefix single-carrier modulation; and communicating with at least one of the user equipments based at least partially on the determined null cyclic prefix length of the at least one user equipment.

Abstract: In accordance with an example embodiment of the present invention, a method comprising: receiving, by a user equipment of a communication network, a request from a network node to use at least two beam configurations of multiple different beam configurations for the user equipment; measuring, by the user equipment, downlink received power on at least one reference signal using the at least two beam configurations; sending, by the user equipment on an uplink, information of at least two downlink received powers and at least one reference signal using the at least two beam configurations; receiving, by the user equipment, signaling from the network node comprising an indication of beam correspondence assessment from the network node; and adjusting, by the user equipment, uplink beam with reference to a downlink beam based on the received indication of beam correspondence assessment.

Abstract: A method including transmitting an uplink access request message by a user device (UD) for an access point (AP) in an access point cluster set of the UD; and monitoring a downlink control channel by the user device (UD) to determine, based at least partially upon the transmitted uplink access request message, if a subsequent uplink communication is to be transmitted by the user device (UD) to a serving access point and/or a stand-by access point of the access point cluster set.
