Indication for small data transmission

Example embodiments of the present disclosure relate to applying timing advance during random access procedure. The first apparatus transmits, to a first apparatus, a channel state information (CSI) report configuration comprising a first sub-configuration and a second sub-configuration; and receives, from the first apparatus and based at least in part on the first and second first priority reporting levels, a CSI report associated with at least one of the first sub-configuration or the second sub-configuration. Impacts to the other CSI reporting caused by introducing the sub-configuration would be minimized.

Channel state information reporting

An apparatus, method and computer program product for: performing channel availability monitoring on an operating channel for transmitting uplink control information for transmitting a data packet, in response to determining that the operating channel is available for transmitting the uplink control information, determining delay information relating to the channel availability monitoring, and transmitting the uplink control information and the delay information to the radio access network.

Delay information

Inter-alia, a method is disclosed comprising: receiving a paging information from a mobile communication network; based on the received paging information, determining whether at least one pre-configured resource of a mobile communication network is to be utilized for responding to the paging information; and based on the determining, initiating at least one transmission via at least one of a random access procedure or on the at least one pre-configured resource. It is further disclosed an according apparatus, a computer program and a system.

Paging response on pre-configured resources

Wake-up signal beacon arrangement for wake-up signal coverage detection is provided. A method for wake-up signal beacon arrangement for wake-up signal coverage detection may include receiving at least one configuration for a first wake-up signal beacon and a second wake-up signal beacon. A power or energy of the second wake-up signal beacon may be lower than a power or energy of the first wake-up signal beacon. The method may also include monitoring a current cell for wake-up signal beacons during a wake-up signal mode using the received at least one configuration, and modifying the monitoring of the current cell based on a detection metric. The detection metric may be determined based on at least the second wake-up signal beacon.

Wake-up signal beacon arrangement for wake-up signal coverage detection

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to for skipping monitoring of downlink control channel in random access. A first device receives from a second device a command indicating the first device to skip monitoring a downlink control channel between the second device and the first device for a time period. In response to the random access procedure being triggered by a first trigger condition, the first device determines whether the time period overlaps with a time window associated with a random access procedure. The first device ignores or performs the command based on the determination.

Skipping monitoring of downlink control channel during random access procedure

There are provided measures for enabling/realizing stationarity-based UE power saving, specifically network-assisted power saving at a terminal entity based on local stationarity monitoring and autonomous power saving mode switching. Such measures exemplarily comprise that a terminal entity operates in a normal power mode, including performing normal radio environment related measurements (such as regular radio resource management measurements and/or cell search measurements) and monitoring a stationarity condition by means of local procedure and/or equipment, switches from the normal power mode to a power saving mode, if the locally monitored stationarity condition is satisfied, and operates in the power saving mode, including performing relaxed radio environment related measurements (such as relaxed radio resource management measurements and/or cell search measurements).

Stationarity-based UE power saving

Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for improved signaling of small data transmission (SDT) are provided. One method may include storing, at a first target network node, a user equipment (UE)-specific uplink (UL) small data transmission (SDT) context for a user equipment (UE) in a non-connected radio resource control (RRC) state that previously had initiated a small data transmission (SDT) procedure without anchor relocation via the first target network node or a second target network node. The method may also include performing radio link control (RLC) processing of the radio link control (RLC) protocol data units (PDUs) received from the user equipment (UE) using the stored user equipment (UE)-specific uplink (UL) small data transmission (SDT) context.

Techniques are disclosed for verification of user equipment (UE) for small data transmission (SDT) when the user equipment is in an inactive state with respect to a communication network. For example, the UE is verified at a selected target gNB upon an SDT resume request initiated by the UE, i.e., a returning UE with respect to the selected target gNB, or otherwise prior to UE data resuming transmission to an anchor gNB from the selected target gNB.

Inactive user equipment verification for data transmission in communication network

Various communication systems may benefit from the appropriate aggregation of multiple radio access technologies. For example, certain communication systems may benefit from optimized signaling for wireless local area network and third generation partnership projection aggregation.
