Methods, systems, and deices may assist in reducing the possibility that a reduced capability NR device misses a paging message due to the termination of PTW. Methods, systems, and devices may enable a UE to dynamically turn on and off eDRX mode of operation or change eDRX configuration based on its traffic profiles.

eDRX enhancement for reduced capability device

Methods, apparatus, and systems are described for assistance information from the UE to network side, e.g., enabling faster decision-making for secondary cell group deactivation in 3GPP MR DC/CA deployments. According to some aspects, instructions for UE behavior upon MR DC/CA secondary cell group activation are provided in a secondary cell group deactivation message to reduce delays for a UE triggered secondary group activation. RRC signaling ambiguities for conditional PSCell addition/change may be resolved by a synchronization message between a main node and a secondary node to avoid delays and signaling errors.

Multicast/Broadcast Service (MBS) for user equipments (UE) in Radio Resource Control (RRC) idle/inactive modes via signally of MBS frequency ranges and/or switching between frequency ranges as required. Bandwidth Part (BWP) operation for MBS in RRC_IDLE and RRC_INACTIVE states may be implemented using a dedicated MBS BWP or by sharing a frequency range with other operations. An MBS frequency range may be wider or narrower than an initial BWP used by a UE, for example. MBS frequency range configure may be achieved in a number of ways, such as via Control Resource Set (CORESET), search space, and/or PDCCH monitoring occasions pattern settings for MBS in RRC idle/inactive. Downlink scheduling without dynamic grant for MBS in RRC idle/inactive may include configured scheduling and/or semi-persistent scheduling. Downlink repetition for MBS in RRC idle/inactive may include PDSCH repetition and/or PDCCH repetition.
