There is provided a method comprising, at a user equipment operating in connection with a first radio access technology network and a second radio access technology network, determining that communication using the second radio access technology is to be suspended and in response to the determining, suspending communication using the second radio access technology and storing a configuration relating to the second radio access technology such that communication using the second radio access technology can be reactivated via at least one of the first radio access technology network and the second radio access technology network.

Method, apparatus and computer program related to secondary cell group reactivation in multi-radio access technology-dual connectivity

A network node in a wireless network sends a selected BWP toward a UE, the selected BWP to be used by the UE during a connection procedure used to connect the UE to the wireless network after the UE enters an idle or inactive state. The selected BWP is different from an initial BWP that would have been used by the UE during the connection procedure. The network node receives from the user equipment a message for connection to the wireless network using the selected BWP. The UE receives the selected BWP and uses the selected BWP to send, while in one of an idle state or an inactive state, a message for connection to the wireless network using the selected BWP (e.g., and not the initial BWP).

Setting a different BWP earlier in a connection establishment process to a wireless network by a UE when transitioning from an idle or inactive state

Described are methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for bandwidth part (BWP) handling. Apparatus can receive information on limitation(s) of BWP(s) supported in a cell of the base station and inhibit a terminal from accessing the cell based on limitation(s) of the BWP(s) supported in the cell and limitation(s) of BWP(s) supported by the terminal. Apparatus can select access parameter(s) based on limitation(s) of the BWP(s) supported in the cell and limitation(s) of the BWP(s) supported by the terminal, and instruct the terminal to reselect/camp on the cell using the access parameter(s). BWP(s) supported by the terminal can include a network BWP usable for early data transmission. Apparatus can allow/inhibit cell access by terminal based on, e.g., type of access or terminal type. Apparatus can instruct base station to provide information on limitation(s) of BWP(s) provided by the base station. Each BWP can be subcarrier spacing specific.

BWP handling in idle mode and inactive mode

There is provided an apparatus, said apparatus including circuitry for receiving, at a user equipment from a network, an indication to perform radio resource management measurements at the user equipment in a first mode, wherein, in the first mode, measurement requirements are more relaxed than in a second mode and performing radio resource management measurements in the first mode.

Apparatus, method and computer program

Example embodiments of the present disclosure relate to devices, methods, apparatuses and computer readable storage medium for selection of a channel access priority. In example embodiments, a subset of data units from a set of data units is selected for multiplexing into a data packet. The selecting is at least in part based on a channel access priority associated with each of the subset of data unit. The subset of data units is multiplexed into the data packet, and then the data packet is transmitted.

Selection of channel access priority

Example embodiments of the invention provide at least a method and apparatus to perform at least identifying, by a user equipment of a communication network, a beam failure occurred over at least one dormant bandwidth part for communication with at least one secondary cell of the communication network; and based on the identifying, determining to report the beam failure to the communication network for beam failure recovery by the communication network.

Beam failure recovery for dormant bandwidth part

A UE in a wireless network determines whether it has been configured with carrier(s) to be used for secondary serving cell carriers in the wireless network. The UE performs, using a selected one of the carrier(s) as a selected secondary serving cell carrier, a request for a cell on the selected secondary serving cell carrier to become a secondary serving cell for the user equipment. The UE receives a response from the cell that the request to have the cell become the secondary serving cell for the user equipment was successful. The request is received on the carrier at a cell in the wireless network to have the cell become the secondary cell for the user equipment. The cell indicates to the UE that the request to have the cell become a secondary cell for the user equipment was successful.

Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for the configuration of user device(s) for reception of point-to-multipoint transmission are provided. One method may include receiving, at a user equipment, a configuration for point-to-multipoint reception of a group-common transport channel. The configuration may include a group-common signaling configuration for a group of user equipment. The method may also include receiving, at the user equipment, a point-to-multipoint reconfiguration message using the group-common signaling configuration on the group-common transport channel from a device (e.g., a network node). The point-to-multipoint reconfiguration message may include an updated point-to-multipoint configuration. The method may then include receiving point-to-multipoint data, from the device on the group-common transport channel, based on the updated point-to-multipoint configuration.

The method includes determining whether a periodic radio access network based notification area update timer has expired; when the periodic radio access network based notification area update timer has been determined to have expired: setting a variable to a first setting; the variable comprising a pendingPeriodicRNAUpdate variable; and determining whether an upper layer has requested resumption of a radio resource control connection, and either: initiating a radio resource control connection resume procedure with a cause value set based on information received from the upper layers, or initiating a radio resource control connection resume procedure with a cause value set to rna-Update.

Connection resume handling

Example embodiments of the present disclosure relate to channel information transmitting for dormant bandwidth part. According to embodiments, a solution for channel information transmitting for dormant bandwidth part has been proposed. A terminal device is configured a periodicity when an active downlink (DL) bandwidth part (BWP) is a dormant BWP. The periodicity is different from a further periodicity which is configured and used when the active DL BWP is a non-dormant BWP. The terminal device uses resourced configured for the active uplink (UL) BWP but with the different periodicity. In this way, it allows sounding reference signal (SRS)/channel state information (CSI) reporting without duplicating configurations of BWPs. It can configure a required longer periodicity but reduce the SRS configuration for each UL BWP.

Channel information reporting for dormant bandwidth part

According to an example aspect of the present invention, there is provided apparatus comprising at least one processing core, at least one memory including computer program code, the at least one memory and the computer program code being configured to, with the at least one processing core, cause the apparatus at least to receive, from a primary cell, a candidate secondary cell configuration which comprises at least one condition, determine that the at least one condition is fulfilled, and activate, as a response to the determining, the candidate secondary cell into a carrier aggregation or a dual connectivity session of the apparatus.
