A method and apparatus () for beam failure management for a user equipment (UE) () are described. A beam failure instance counter (BFI_counter) is determined, that is indicative of a number of consecutive beam failure instances occurred at the UE (), at a time instance. A location of the UE () is determined at the time instance. A beam failure probability factor is determined, based at least on the location of the UE () at the time instance and the BFI_counter. The beam failure probability factor is indicative of a probability of occurrence of a beam failure at the location of the UE (), after a plurality of further time instances. Further, the beam failure probability factor is compared with a beam failure threshold probability (beamFailureThresholdProb). Thereafter, a beam failure is declared if the beam failure probability factor is higher than the beamFailureThresholdProb.

Method and system for beam failure management

Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for positioning support are provided. One method may include receiving, by a UE configured with power saving feature(s), positioning performance requirements for a positioning session. The method may also include estimating an impact of one or more power saving or reduced capability features on positioning measurements associated with the positioning session and, based on the accuracy and latency requirements and the estimated impact, determining the power saving or reduced capability features that the UE can implement while still achieving the accuracy and latency requirements for the positioning session. The method may then include signaling, to a network node, information on the determined power saving or reduced capability features that the UE can implement while still achieving the required accuracy and latency requirements for the positioning session.

Methods and apparatuses for mitigating reduced complexity features impact on positioning performance

A method comprising receiving a first indication, from a terminal device, indicating that the terminal device is capable of supporting carrier aggregation, obtaining information regarding a battery level of the terminal device, estimating battery consumption per one carrier component, and based, at least partly, on the estimated battery consumption and information regarding the battery level, determining a number of additional carrier components to be activated for the terminal device.

Battery aware carrier activation

According to an aspect, there is provided an apparatus for controlling a terminal device. The apparatus monitors a current charge level of a rechargeable energy storage device of the terminal device and a current energy harvesting state of an energy harvesting device of the terminal device. When the current energy harvesting state corresponds to an energy harvesting state indicative of no energy being harvested, the apparatus causes the terminal device to operate in one of a first, second and third operating modes depending on a value of the current charge level relative to first and second thresholds. The first, second and third operating modes and the first and second thresholds are defined so that the uplink transmission functionality of the terminal device is disabled when the current charge level drops below the first threshold and the downlink transmission functionality of the terminal device is disabled when the current charge level drops below both thresholds.
