In Example 16, the UL control and feedback of any one or more of the examples herein includes channel state information, hybrid automatic repeat request feedback, and/or buffer status reports.

In Example 17, the UE-AN of any one or more of the examples herein may also be a UE-W.

In Example 18, a UE-W includes radio frequency (RF) circuitry and baseband circuitry. The RF circuitry can transmit signals to a UE-AN, the UE-AN operating in a personal area network, PAN; receive signals from the UE-AN; and receive signals from another UE-W device in the PAN. The baseband circuitry can identify information to be sent to a base station, BS to be routed through the UE-AN.

In Example 19, the UE-W of any one or more of the examples herein may also be the UE-AN.

In Example 20, the PAN and the BS of any one or more of the examples herein are different networks.

In Example 21, multiple antennas may be connected to the RF circuitry.

In Example 22, a method for implementing a PAN includes identifying, by the UE-AN, one or more UE-Ws that are connected by the PAN, identifying, by the UE-AN, a BS on a cellular network other than the PAN, for communication between the one or more UE-Ws and the BS, and managing, by the UE-AN, the controlling and signaling between the UE-Ws in the PAN and between the UE-Ws in the PAN and the cellular network.

In Example 23, the one or more UE-Ws of any one or more of the examples herein may be the UE-AN.

In Example 24, the PAN of any one or more of the examples herein is a Bluetooth?-based network.
