Method and apparatus for controlling commication between devices in a network

A user equipment (UE) comprising:

• a transceiver;
• and
• a controller configured to:
• measure at least one parameter related to signal quality between the first UE and a cellular network;
• identify a first event among a preconfigured set of events based on measuring of the at least one parameter;
• and
• transmit, to a second UE, first information including information related to the first event and second information related to the first UE, based on a trigger of the first event,
• wherein the first information and the second information are for a prediction of the second UE associated with a state change of the cellular network, and
• wherein an operation of the second UE is based on the prediction.

A user equipment (UE) comprising:

• a transceiver;
• and
• a controller configured to:
• receive, from a first UE, first information including information related to a first event and second information related to the first UE, based on a trigger of the first event,
• wherein the first event among a preconfigured set of events is identified based on at least one parameter related to signal quality between the first UE and a cellular network,
• determine a predicted state of the cellular network based on the first information and the second information, and
• initiate an operation based on the predicted state of the cellular network.

A method performed by a second user equipment (UE) in a vehicle to everything (V2X) communication system, the method comprising:

• receiving, from a first UE, first information including information related to a first event and second information related to the first UE, based on a trigger of the first event,
• wherein the first event among a preconfigured set of events is identified based on at least one parameter related to signal quality between the first UE and a cellular network;
• determining a predicted state of the cellular network based on the first information and the second information;
• and
• initiating an operation based on the predicted state of the cellular network.
