Wake-up signal beacon arrangement for wake-up signal coverage detection is provided. A method for wake-up signal beacon arrangement for wake-up signal coverage detection may include receiving at least one configuration for a first wake-up signal beacon and a second wake-up signal beacon. A power or energy of the second wake-up signal beacon may be lower than a power or energy of the first wake-up signal beacon. The method may also include monitoring a current cell for wake-up signal beacons during a wake-up signal mode using the received at least one configuration, and modifying the monitoring of the current cell based on a detection metric. The detection metric may be determined based on at least the second wake-up signal beacon.

Wake-up signal beacon arrangement for wake-up signal coverage detection

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to for conditionally skipping monitoring of downlink control channel in random access. A first apparatus receives, from a second apparatus, a command indicating the first apparatus to skip monitoring a downlink control channel between the second apparatus and the first apparatus for a time period. The first apparatus initiates an RA procedure towards the second apparatus. The time period at least partially overlaps with a time window associated with the RA procedure and an end of the time period is after an end of the time window. The first apparatus determines whether the RA procedure is successfully completed or contention resolution for the RA procedure is successful. Based on the determination, the first apparatus ignores or performs the command after the end of the time window.

Conditional skipping monitoring of downlink control channel

There is provided an apparatus, a method and a computer program product. In accordance with an embodiment the method comprises obtaining one or more measurement parameters; measuring signals from a radio channel; evaluating one or more measurement relaxation conditions related to the obtained one or more measurement parameters for measuring signals; and adjusting the measurement of the signals on the basis of the evaluation result.

Measurement adjustment in low mobility

An apparatus comprising: at least one processor; and at least one memory including computer program code; the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to: generate () a synchronization signal for transmission over one or more symbols, wherein the number of symbols is dependent on a subcarrier spacing.

Apparatus, method, and computer program

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

Devices, methods and computer programs for compensation of residual time-frequency error(s) in communications between a network node device and a client device are disclosed. A network node device determines an auxiliary reference signal indication comprising presence information and location information of an auxiliary reference signal in a physical downlink channel transmission. The network node device transmits to the client device the auxiliary reference signal associated with a physical downlink channel in accordance with the determined auxiliary reference signal indication. The client device uses the received auxiliary reference signal for the compensation of the residual time-frequency error(s) in the communications.

Compensation of residual time-frequency errors in communications

A network node is configured to perform the method.

Method for enabling secondary cell dormancy for user equipment power savings

There is provided a method, comprising: determining a presence indicator configuration defining how a presence indicator is to be interpreted, wherein, based on the configuration, the presence indicator indicates whether a set of one or more configured reference signal occasions of a cell carries reference signals; obtaining from a base station the presence indicator; obtaining from the base station at least one reference signal configuration, each indicating at least one configured reference signal occasion; and determining, based on the presence indicator and the obtained presence indicator configuration, whether a given reference signal occasion indicated by the at least one reference signal configuration carries a reference signal.

A method and apparatus for dynamically adapting scheduling parameter(s) to achieve power savings. A user equipment may be configured with one or more offsets between scheduled PDCCH and PDSCH transmissions. The user equipment may receive from a network an indication to dynamically change these offsets. If the user equipment sleeps through a first transmission of this indication, upon next receiving the indication the user equipment may update, for example, the offset in a time domain resource allocation table. The indication to dynamically change an offset may be an indication of an offset including fewer slots. A change to the offset, with which downlink transmission is expected by the user equipment, may be disabled. A network node may be configured to transmit downlink traffic to the user equipment according to a configured offset and/or according to an offset the network node indicated to the user equipment.
