Methods of providing service continuity with respect to a service of a first network for a user equipment and a service of a second network for the user equipment, as well as a user equipment and networks being adapted to be operated according to the methods are disclosed.

Concurrent services of non-public and public networks

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to selecting random access (RA) mode. In example embodiments. The method comprises obtaining an impact factor associated with RA of a terminal device to a network device, the impact factor indicating at least one of the following: a synchronization status between the terminal device and the network device, a status of a channel between the terminal device and the network device for performing RA, a capability of the terminal device for supporting early data transmission (EDT), a predefined access category of the terminal device, or a RA mode-related indication received from the network device; selecting a RA mode at least in part based on obtained impact factor; and performing RA to the network device with the selected RA mode. In this way, the terminal device may select different RA mode according to different scenario.

Selection of random access mode

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

This document discloses a solution for managing multiple subscriber identifiers in a network node. According to an aspect, a method for a first network node comprises: storing at least two subscriber identifiers; triggering a handover procedure for a first subscriber identifier of the at least two subscriber identifiers; and transmitting, during the handover procedure, a handover message to a second network node, the second network node managing a target cell for the handover procedure, wherein the handover message comprises at least a second subscriber identifier of the at least two subscriber identifiers.

Managing multiple subscriber identities in cellular network

Aspects and embodiments relate to an apparatus and method for evaluating location of a terrestrial network node in a non-terrestrial network. In particular, one aspect provides an apparatus, comprising means for receiving an indication of propagation delay between a terrestrial network node and a non-terrestrial node in a non-terrestrial wireless communication network; means for receiving an indication of location of the non-terrestrial node; and means for evaluating location of the terrestrial network node in dependence upon the received indication of propagation delay between the terrestrial network node and the non-terrestrial node, and the indication of location of the non-terrestrial node. A further aspect provides a method of evaluating location of a terrestrial network node, and a computer program product operable, when executed on a computer, to perform that method. Aspects and embodiments recognise that having a knowledge of gNB and NTN-GW location in a non-terrestrial network can allow UE to simplify procedures in relation to the updating and tracking of forward link delay. Since it has been agreed that a network will not directly provide the gNB and/or NTN-GW location to UE, due to security and privacy reasons in some countries, apparatus can be configured to perform methods according to which a UE is operable to calculate or obtain information which can assist its ongoing operation and reduce an ongoing need to decode SIB in support of calculation of an appropriate Uplink timing advance (TA) to apply in relation to communications exchanged with a network.

Location calculation

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. A method can include determining, by a network element, which parameters according to a first standard are also applicable according to a second standard for aggregation and/or interworking. The method can also include indicating the determined parameters to a user equipment.

Optimized signaling for WLAN/3GPP aggregation

A user equipment (UE) may receive an OFDM signal having control channel elements (CCEs). The CCEs may be arranged in levels where a first level aggregates less CCEs than a second level. A processor may search for a control channel from control channel candidates that is comprised of the CCEs. A limited number of CCEs may be searched on the first level.

Searching for control channels in a wireless network

A UE, connected using a current cell served by a first satellite to a BS, receives information from the BS including assistance information for a cell switch from the current cell to a cell served by a second satellite. The information is received before a stop time indicating when the current cell will stop serving the UE. The UE performs the cell switch from the current cell to the cell served by the second satellite using at least the assistance information to find cell synchronization block(s) for the served by the second satellite. The BS sends the information from the BS including the assistance information for a cell switch from the current cell to a cell served by a second satellite. The BS shuts down the current cell at a stop time.

Use of cell switch assistance information for SSB searching during satellite switching

An arrangement for switching beams in wireless communications is based on determining an exact timing for switching from one beam to another. The determined exact timing is communicated to a user equipment requiring a beam switch. The user equipment receives the determined exact timing and is capable of switching beams in synchronicity with the base station.

Beam switching in wireless communications

There is provided an apparatus, a method and a computer program product. In accordance with an embodiment the method comprises obtaining one or more measurement parameters; measuring signals from a radio channel; evaluating one or more measurement relaxation conditions related to the obtained one or more measurement parameters for measuring signals; and adjusting the measurement of the signals on the basis of the evaluation result.

Measurement adjustment in low mobility

Example embodiments of the present disclosure relate to discontinuous reception configuration for multi-beam operations. A method includes receiving, at a first device and from a second device, configuration information indicating a first plurality of configuration settings associated with a plurality of transmission beams of the second device, the first plurality of configuration settings at least including a first plurality of scrambling identifiers. The method also includes in accordance with a determination that a first transmission beam of the plurality of transmission beams is configured for the first device as a serving beam, selecting, from the first plurality of scrambling identifiers, a first scrambling identifier associated with the first transmission beam. The method further includes monitoring for first control information transmitted by the second device via the first transmission beam using the first scrambling identifier, the first control information indicating presence of data to be transmitted by the second device.

Discontinuous reception configuration for multi-beam operations

A method comprises causing a message to be transmitted from a communications device to a transmission reception point during a random access procedure. The message comprises information identifying a plurality of different beam directions. The method further comprises receiving a response to the message from a plurality of different beam directions.

Apparatus, method, and computer program

In accordance with example embodiments of the invention there is at least a method and apparatus to perform at least detecting, by a network device of a communication network, at least one failure of network node channel access during or preceding a wake-up signal occasion, and based on the detecting, performing on-duration monitoring. In addition, there is at least a method and apparatus to perform at least determining, by a network node of a communication network, information comprising a configuration for performing on-duration monitoring if a failure of network node channel access is detected during or preceding a wake-up signal occasion; and sending an indication of the information towards the at least one network device.

Network assistance to resolve wake-up signal conflicts

Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for control of cross-bandwidth part (BWP) wake up signaling (WUS) activation are provided. One method includes configuring a user equipment with a wake up signaling (WUS) bandwidth part (BWP) and a plurality of non-wake up signaling (WUS) bandwidth part (BWPs), and transmitting a wake up signaling (WUS) indication.

Methods and apparatuses for control of cross-bandwidth part (BWP) wake up signaling (WUS) activation

A technique of performing a RACK procedure includes a framework for a two-step RACK in which a first message (MsgA) from the UE to the gNB has data carrying resources (i.e., PUSCH) is organized into a time-frequency array defined by a mapping to a plurality of preambles. Such a two-step RACK has less latency than the four-step RACK due to fewer signaling exchanges. Moreover, this two-step RACK also causes the UE to use less power due to a decreased signaling overhead.
