Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to communications with preconfigured uplink resources (PUR). A method implemented at a terminal device comprises identifying a need to change a transmission configuration of the terminal device, the terminal device being in a transmission mode with a set of preconfigured uplink resources (PURs) allocated for the terminal device to transmit user data to a network device; and in response to identifying the need to change the transmission configuration, transmitting control information to the network device using a first PUR in the set of PURs, the control information comprising information relevant to the change of the transmission configuration. In this way, it is possible to enable the terminal device to save power, time, and resources by bypassing a full random access procedure when the transmission configuration is needed to be changed.

Communications with preconfigured uplink resources

A method of detection of a status of cells within a cell culture is described. The method is based on comparing an IR spectrum of a test sample obtained from the cell culture with an IR spectrum of a control sample or samples or with an IR spectrum of a sample or samples obtained at an earlier time point in the cell culture and correlating differences between the spectra with the status of the cells. The status may be classified into healthy or unhealthy. The test sample may or may not contain cells. The test sample may contain cell fragments, cell components or cell media, or may be cell supernatant. The comparison may be performed using a predictive model based on pattern recognition algorithms, such as support vector machines SVM, linear discriminant analysis LDA, principal component discriminant function analysis PC-DFA, neural networks, or random forests). The analysis results may be used to monitor and/or control the cell culturing process.

IR spectroscope cell culture analysis

A sample container () for use in a ATR-FTIR spectrometer, comprises an internal reflection element 'IRE' (), the IRE comprising a first surface () and a second surface (). The first surface () is configured to receive a sample () and the second surface () is an infrared beam-receiving surface. The IRE () forms at least a portion of a wall of the sample container (), such that in use, when a sample () is provided on the first surface () of the IRE (), the sample () is provided within the sample container ().

Sample container with integrated internal reflection element

Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, are provided for increasing uplink beamforming gain. In one aspect there is provided a method of identifying user equipment which makes use of the proposed new beam-sweeping random access channel procedure that enables the base station to identify the best uplink transmit beam rather than the first beam that the base station managed to detect. Related apparatus, systems, methods, and articles are also described.

Methods for UL RACH coverage extension

One or more embodiments described herein disclose methods and systems that are directed at providing enhanced privacy and security to distributed ledger-based networks (DLNs) via the implementation of zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs) in the DLNs. ZKPs allow participants of DLNs to prove ownership of accounts on the DLNs without having to necessarily reveal private information such as the private key of the account publicly. As such, the disclosed methods and systems directed at the ZKP-enabled DLNs provide privacy to participants of the DLNs while still allowing the DLNs to remain as consensus-based networks.

Methods and systems for identifying anonymized participants of distributed ledger-based networks using zero-knowledge proofs

Method, apparatus and computer program product where a base station broadcasts a signal indicating that at least one time-frequency region, which is unused by a data transmission in a first radio access technology, is available for a transmission, allowing the base station to maintain support for and/or extending coverage of certain legacy user equipment. Such a transmission includes system information for a second radio access technology, wake-up signal, synchronization signal, and/or extension of the data transmission. Thereafter, the base station transmits such a transmission in the at least one time-frequency region that was indicated.

Method for standalone MTC operation

A determination is made, for a base station that transmits on an operating frequency, whether a radiation pattern of each of one or more neighboring frequencies is correlated with a radiation pattern of the operating frequency. In response to a determination that the radiation pattern of each of the one or more neighboring frequencies is correlated with that of the operating frequency, a computation is made of a total radiated power estimate of each of the one or more neighboring frequencies by performing a beam-based directions procedure for the base station. The total radiated power estimates of each of the one or more neighboring frequencies are output.

Total radiated power measurements of in-band channel frequencies based on beam directivity

According to an example aspect of the present invention, there is provided an 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 first beam, information concerning frequency adjustment of a second beam, the second beam being different from the first beam, and apply the information when synchronizing with the second beam, and/or in transmitting to the second beam in an uplink transmission.

Frequency control

There is provided an apparatus, said apparatus including circuitry configured for causing a plurality of data packets to be transmitted, in at least a first mode, determining at least one of the plurality of data packets based on at least one criterion based on at least one transmission parameter of at least one part of one of the plurality of data packets and causing a duplicate of the at least one determined data packet to be transmitted.

Apparatus, method and computer program

A sample slide () for use in a spectrometer (), wherein the sample slide comprises a plurality of sample-receiving portions (-) provided on a sample side () of the slide, and a plurality of beam-receiving portions (-) provided on a beam-receiving side () of the slide, each beam-receiving portion being arranged opposite a respective sample-receiving portion, and wherein each beam-receiving portion is configured to act as an internal reflection element (IRE). A device () for use with a spectrometer () comprises a stage () configured to receive a sample slide (); and a moving mechanism () configured to move the sample slide relative to a sample-measuring location () of the device. Associated methods for preparing a sample and measuring a sample are also disclosed.

A user equipment, user equipment method, location server, location server method and computer program are disclosed. The method performed at the user equipment comprises: monitoring for a position reference signal broadcast by a network node; measuring a time of arrival of a peak in a received signal indicative of receipt of said position reference signal and measuring a time of arrival of at least one further peak in said received signal; transmitting a time offset signal indicative of a time difference between said arrival of said at least one further peak and said peak as part of an enhanced reference time difference signal.
