Methods and apparatus in a fifth-generation wireless communications, including an example method, in a wireless device, that includes receiving a downlink signal comprising an uplink access configuration index, using the uplink access configuration index to identify an uplink access configuration from among a predetermined plurality of uplink access configurations, and transmitting to the wireless communications network according to the identified uplink access configuration. The example method further includes, in the same wireless device, receiving, in a first subframe, a first Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplexing (OFDM) transmission formatted according to a first numerology and receiving, in a second subframe, a second OFDM transmission formatted according to a second numerology, the second numerology differing from the first numerology. Variants of this method, corresponding apparatuses, and corresponding network-side methods and apparatuses are also disclosed.

Network architecture, methods, and devices for a wireless communications network

A method performed by a first network node for handling a connection between a wireless device and a wireless communications network. The wireless communications network comprises the first network node. The first network node stores () data related to the connection, and further stores an identifier of the wireless device for locating the stored data related to the connection later. The first network node further provides () the wireless device with a command to transition from a connected mode into a suspended mode, in which suspended mode the connection is suspended and the wireless device stores the data related to the connection, and further stores the identifier of the wireless device for locating the stored data later in order to resume the connection.

Network nodes, a user equipment and methods therein for handling a connection between the user equipment and a wireless communications network

Methods and apparatus in a fifth-generation wireless communications network, including an example method, in a wireless device, that includes determining a reporting quality threshold for a parameter related to channel state information (CSI); performing a measurement for each of a plurality of beams from a first predetermined set of beams for evaluation; evaluating the measurement for each of the plurality of beams against the reporting quality threshold; discontinuing the performing and evaluating of measurements in response to determining that the reporting quality threshold is met for one of the beams, such that one or more beams in the first predetermined set of beams are not measured and evaluated; and reporting, to the wireless communications network, CSI for the one of the beams.

The disclosure provides methods in a network node for a telecommunications network. In one method, the network node operates as a primary network node for a wireless terminal configured with dual connectivity, and the method comprises: receiving a message indicating that a secondary network node, which provides user plane connectivity for the wireless terminal, has no data to transmit to the wireless terminal; and based at least in part on the received message, configuring the wireless terminal in an inactive mode.

Methods and apparatus relating to inactive mode in a wireless communications network

Method of performing a random access procedure between a User Equipment, UE, and a radio access network, wherein two access nodes comprise different sets of signature sequences, wherein said signature sequences are used, by said access nodes, to differentiate requests coming from different UEs, said method comprising the steps of receiving a random access request from said UE, wherein said random access request comprises a signature sequence, determining that said random access request is intended for said first radio access node based on said signature sequence comprised by said request, receiving, from a second access node, said random access request, thereby indicating that said second radio access node has also received said random access request from said UE, and sending a response based on said received random access request from said UE and based on said random access request received from said second radio access node.

Method and devices of performing a random access procedure between a user equipment, UE, and a radio access network of a telecommunication network

A method of allocating reference signals for determining radio link quality, in a source node, the method triggering or comprising the steps of: Transmitting to a candidate node information about at least one reference signal allocated for transmission in at least one beam controlled by the source node and/or information about one or more reference signals eligible to be allocated for a transmission in at least one beam controlled by the candidate node.

Allocation of reference signals

A technique for providing multiple connectivity to a terminal device by at least a first Radio Access Network, RAN entity and a second RAN entity is disclosed. The first RAN entity serves as a control plane anchor and the split bearer will be anchored at the second RAN entity. The method comprises triggering, by the first RAN entity, the second RAN entity to set up the split bearer on the user plane. The split bearer comprises at least a first bearer leg from the second RAN entity via the first RAN entity to the terminal device and a second bearer leg from the second RAN entity to the terminal device without going through the first RAN entity.

Technique for providing multiple Radio Access Network connectivity to terminal device

Method and nodes for enabling a wireless terminal configured with dual connectivity to enter an inactive mode

Embodiments herein relate to a method performed by a radio network node () for handling communication of data to a wireless device () in a wireless communication network (). The radio network node triggers a paging procedure of the wireless device from a core network node () in the wireless communication network () by transmitting, to the core network node (), an initiating indication indicating an initiation of paging from the core network node () when a criterion is fulfilled.

Radio network node, core network node and methods performed therein

A system and method is introduced for flexible user equipment ('UE') identification. In one embodiment, the method includes providing a first message from a user equipment () to a radio access node () to resume a passive user equipment context. The message includes a UE identifier () having a flag () indicating if the user equipment () is resuming connectivity to the radio access node () and a first local UE identifier () for the radio access node ().
