The present subject matter relates to a transmitter that is configured for receiving a sequence of datasets of a low-latency application, each dataset of the datasets comprising a succession of a first sub-dataset and a second sub-dataset; successively transmitting radio frequency signals in an order of the sequence of the datasets such that the number of radio frequency signals is equal to the number of datasets, each radio frequency signal of the radio frequency signals comprising a dataset of the datasets; wherein the transmitting of the radio frequency signals is performed such that: a minimum fraction of starting points of time of the radio frequency signals is in an earliest scheduling time slot or in an earliest but one scheduling time slot of a transmission period of the transmission periods.

Low-latency application data transmission

In accordance with the example embodiments of the invention there is at least a method an apparatus to perform determining signaling comprising at least one wake-up signal to indicate an occurrence or a non-occurrence of a paging request associated with a next paging occasion of a network device; and sending the signaling comprising the at least one wake-up signal toward a network device in a communication network, wherein the at least one wake-up signal is to cause the network device to determine whether to leave at the next paging occasion an energy saving sleep mode to receive the paging request. Further, there is performing receiving by a network device in a communication network at least one wake-up signal to indicate an occurrence or a non-occurrence of a paging request, wherein the at least one wake-up signal is for use by the network device to determine whether to leave at its next paging occasion an energy saving sleep mode to receive the paging request.

Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for a modified multi-slot random access channel (RACH) transmission, such as an extended coverage RACH (EC-RACH) transmission, are provided. One method includes transmitting, by a mobile station associated with a network, a dual slot hybrid random access channel including a long burst followed by one access burst or including one access burst followed by one long burst. Two consecutive time slots may be used for the random access channel transmission.

A method and apparatus may include configuring, by a base station, a synchronization signal. The synchronization signal may be aligned with a sub carrier spacing grid of a radio access technology. The synchronization signal may be positioned at a frequency location that is the same or about the same as a frequency step of a channel raster. The synchronization signal may be transmitted to a user equipment so that the center of the synchronization signal is transmitted with a frequency offset with respect to the center of the radio-access technology bandwidth.

It is described a method for reporting, in a link quality report, link quality information from a link quality report sending station to a link quality report receiving station. The link quality report receiving station is capable of using different modulation schemes for communicating to the link quality report sending station. Depending on a priority of each of at least two of said different modulation schemes, at least one of said at least two modulation schemes are selected for inclusion of corresponding link quality information in said link quality report. According to an embodiment, the priority of each of said at least two modulation schemes is determined depending on a link quality parameter value.

Link quality reporting for a communication system capable of using different modulation schemes

In order to compensate for a frequency offset or a change in the phase of the transmission channel over time during mobile radio transmission of data symbols, the data symbols are transmitted by way of carrier-frequency, modulated data bursts. Sample values of the received signal, which are known in advance and correspond to first and second symbols, are evaluated in order to estimate the frequency offset or the change in the phase of the transmission channel over time. These first and second symbols are transmitted with a defined phase angle by way of the data burst, and are arranged separated from one another in the data burst. Edge symbols in a data burst are advantageously used as first and second symbols, or as a symbol pair, for estimation.
