A system, apparatus, method, and non-transitory computer readable medium for system information acquisition for reduced capability NR devices may include a UE device which is caused to, determine a plurality of physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) candidates from a control resource set (CORESET), monitor a PDCCH from the plurality of PDCCH candidates, determine reduced capability (REDCAP) scheduling information from a downlink control information (DCI) received on the PDCCH, and receive REDCAP system information based on the determined REDCAP scheduling information.

System information acquisition method for reduced capability nr devices

A method may include monitoring, by a user equipment, a first wake up signal prior to a paging occasion during a discontinuous reception cycle. The method may also include decoding a physical downlink control channel based on the paging occasion in response to detecting the first wake up signal. The method may also include determining that the decoding failed. The method may further include switching to a common paging occasion to decode the physical downlink control channel after determining that the decoding failed.

Enhancements for warning/alert system notification with wake up signal

According to an example embodiment, an example method may include determining, by a network node in a wireless network, whether a size of a data packet is greater than a threshold size; transmitting, by the network node, the data packet via a frequency interlace if the size of the data packet is less than or equal to the threshold size; transmitting, by the network node, the data packet via contiguous wideband frequency resources if the size of the data packet is greater than the threshold size.

Data transmission via frequency interlace for wireless networks

An apparatus is provided comprising at least one processor; and at least one memory including computer program code. The at least one memory and the computer program code are configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to perform transmitting a data transmission while the apparatus is in a radio resource control idle state or radio resource control inactive state; receiving a monitoring configuration for use by the apparatus subsequent to transmission of the data transmission; and monitoring at least one downlink channel based, at least in part, on the received monitoring configuration.

Downlink channel monitoring

Example embodiments of the present disclosure relate to devices, methods, apparatuses and computer readable storage media for counting of devices. In example embodiments, a first device receives, from a second device, a first configuration associated with an event to trigger transmission of a counting signal from the first device to the second device. When the event occurs, the first device transmits, to the second device, at least the counting signal to enable the second device to count the number of devices for determining a type of signals.

Counting of devices

An apparatus comprising: at least one processor; and at least one memory including computer program code, the at least one memory and computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to perform: determining at least one condition; and based on the at least one condition, transmitting a data packet to a first access node using one of a first early data transmission type in a first mode of operation and a second early data transmission type in a second mode of operation of the apparatus.

Method and apparatus for switching of data transmission between radio access technologies for early data transmission

Techniques of preserving UE and network resources while performing a paging procedure during cell congestion includes a network node informing a UE if the cell to which the UE is attempting to access is too congested to serve the UE. When a gNB, serving a cell, receives a paging request for the gNB to serve a UE, the gNB first performs a pro-active admission control operation to determine whether there are sufficient resources to serve the UE. When there is too much congestion, the gNB may not admit the UE to the cell and sends RAN raging with a paging flag indicating that the gNB will not serve the UE. The UE in response does not trigger a service request, but rather sends an ACK paging over RRC to the gNB, which in turn notifies the AMF of non-service and that the UE is present.

Energy-efficient and RRC state aware radio resource allocation

A method including receiving, at a user equipment, one or more location related information, where the location related information comprises information based upon location related to one or more satellite; determining, by the user equipment, timing advance, where the determining is at least partially based upon the location related information; determining, by the user equipment, to perform a preconfigured uplink resource transmission; and performing, based at least partially upon the determined timing advance, the preconfigured uplink resource transmission.

UE location validation for PUR in LEO networks

Certain example embodiments provide systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for associating sensing information with a user (e.g., a cellular user) by, for example, determining information from both a sensing node and a communication node, then associating the a sensed object and the communication node based on the information. Additionally, or alternatively, some embodiments provide systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for radar and sensing-based positioning.

Associating sensing information with a user

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to devices, methods, apparatuses and computer readable storage media of energy harvesting information supported User Equipment (UE) scheduling. The method includes reporting, to a network device in the radio network, energy harvesting capability of the terminal device indicating a first energy value (ΔE) collected during a first time interval (Δt) and a second energy value (E) averaged over a second time interval; and communicating with the network device to transmit data according to scheduling information received from the network device and determined based on the energy harvesting capability of the terminal device. In this way, the terminal device may be scheduled by the network based on its energy harvesting capability, to maintain a trade-off between harvested energy utilization and fairness in scheduling from Passive IoT UEs.

Energy harvesting information supported user equipment scheduling

At a UE configured with an idle-mode configuration for using a PUR, determining that data not associated with the PUR is to be transmitted or received via an RRC connection. The UE performs an initial access to a network for the radio resource control connection. The UE transitions from RRC idle mode to RRC connected mode. The UE performs one of suspending the idle-mode configuration or maintaining the idle-mode configuration, for at least a duration of the RRC connected mode. A base station received the initial access, determines the UE is configured with the idle-mode configuration for using a PUR and transitions the UE from RRC idle mode to RRC connected mode. The base station performs communication between the base station and the UE to perform action(s) to modify one or both of the idle-mode configuration or an RRC connection corresponding to the transition into the RRC connected mode.

Maintaining, suspending, or modifying existing PUR configuration in response to a UE entering into RRC connected mode

The indication may be a physical random access channel (PRACH) preamble.

Improving reliability of mobile-terminated (MT) early data transmission (EDT)

A UE is connected to a serving cell via an active BWP of a first BWP, and receives a message having criteria for switching from the first BWP to a second BWP. In response to at least one of the criteria being met, the UE waits until a first preconfigured time to switch from the first BWP to the second BWP, and switches the active BWP from the first BWP to the second BWP. The UE communicates with the serving cell and performs SSB measurements while using the second BWP as the active BWP. The UE switches from the second BWP to the first BWP after a second preconfigured time corresponding to a duration of time in the second BWP. The serving cell sends the message having the criteria, switches active BWPs accordingly, and communicates with the UE in the active BWPs.
