In accordance with an example embodiment of the present invention, a method comprising: receiving from a network node, by a user equipment of a plurality of user equipment associated with more than one communication beam of a communication network, information comprising locations in time of the user equipment during paging occasions with at least one cell of the communication network associated over more than one communication beam, wherein the information identifies any provided order of the more than one communication beam covering the locations in time of the user equipment during the paging occasions; and based on the information, identifying by the user equipment at least one communication beam and timing of at least one paging occasion, of the paging occasions, for the user equipment.

Paging on narrow beam and alignment with default DRX

Disclosed is a method comprising using a machine learning algorithm to select an antenna panel from a plurality of antenna panels. A first long-term reward value associated with the selected antenna panel is determined based at least partly on one or more first signals received on the selected antenna panel. A second signal is then transmitted or received via the selected antenna panel, if the first long-term reward value exceeds one or more second long-term reward values associated with at least a subset of the plurality of antenna panels.

Machine learning based antenna panel switching

An apparatus, provided in use in a first device comprises at least one processor and at least one memory including a computer program code, the at least one memory and computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to: receive first information about a context provided by a controller, said first information being received from a base station; and cause the first device to transmit one or more ping messages to one or more second devices, said one or more ping messages comprising information about said context which causes one or more second devices to reply to the controller.

Apparatus, method, and computer program

A method includes receiving, from a base station, network signaling including information about one or more of a timing advance scaling parameter, a processing-delay compensation parameter, and a timing advance extension parameters enabling threshold/condition; receiving a timing advance index from the base station; adjusting parameters for uplink transmissions using the received timing advance index for the one or more of the timing advance scaling parameter, the processing-delay compensation parameter, and the timing advance extension parameters enabling threshold/condition; and performing uplink transmissions according to the configured and adjusted parameters. Another method includes sending, to a user equipment, network signaling including information about one or more of a timing advance scaling parameter, a processing-delay compensation parameter, and a timing advance extension parameters enabling threshold/condition; sending a timing advance index to the user equipment; and receiving uplink transmissions according to the configured and adjusted parameters.

Method for network-assisted uplink time advance for extreme range support

An apparatus and method that may receive, at an unmanned aerial vehicle, at least one coordinate from a base station, wherein the at least one coordinate comprises one or more reference altitude values associated with at least one of an altitude of an antenna associated with the base station or a ground altitude of the base station. The method may further determine that the unmanned aerial vehicle is within a first three-dimensional zone of a plurality of three-dimensional zones based on the one or more reference altitude values. The method may further adjust mobile network settings of the unmanned aerial vehicle based on the determined first three-dimensional zone.

Providing reference altitude information to unmanned aerial vehicles for configuration differentiation

A technique comprising: transmitting one or more radio signals comprising information for use by a communication device camped in idle mode on a first node operating according to a first radio access technology or connected to said first node, which information comprises information facilitating the prioritisation at the communication device of initiating an association with a node operating according to a second radio access technology and having a capability of functioning as a slave node in a radio aggregation technique involving said first node as a master node, over initiating an association with a node operating to said second radio access technology without said aggregation capability.
