Abstract: The present invention provides a method and a controller to control not only cellular radio connections in a cell of a cellular communication system but also direct device-to-device communication links established between terminal devices within the cell. Particularly, the controller selects portion of the terminal devices to function as relay terminals for the other terminals to enable relayed communication links between the terminal devices and the base station through the relay terminals. The relay terminals link device-to-device connections to the cellular radio connections between the relay terminals and the base station.

Abstract: A method and apparatus may include receiving, by a user equipment from a first access point which supports a first radio access technology, a radio-resource-control (RRC) reconfiguration message including an RRC configuration information of a second access point, after an initiation of a slave RRC at the second access point has been determined. The second access point supports a second radio access technology, and performing, by the user equipment, a random access procedure with the second access point based on the RRC reconfiguration message. The user equipment is configured to have an RRC connection with the first access point and the first access point is a master node.

Abstract: Various communication systems may benefit from differentiated quality of service management. For example, specific applications run on a user equipment in a 5G radio access network may benefit from the flexible differentiated quality of service management. A method includes determining a service flow setup, and mapping traffic through the service flow by a common convergence sublayer entity to at least one radio convergence sublayer entity. The method also includes controlling the traffic through the service flow.
