According to some embodiments, a method performed by a wireless device operating in idle/inactive mode comprises receiving assistance information from a network node, wherein the assistance information comprises a time-domain resource guarantee for a recurrent wakeup activity; and based on the assistance information, determining whether to enter a power saving mode of operation between receiving control information associated with the recurrent wakeup activity and receiving data information associated with the recurrent wakeup activity.

Recurrent data reception in idle/inactive UE

A method performed by a user equipment, UE, in a wireless communication network is provided. The method includes receiving a bandwidth part, BWP, configuration associated with a BWP of a secondary serving cell, Scell, of the UE. The UE determines whether the BWP of the Scell of the UE is a dormant BWP based on a received higher layer parameter in a Scell configuration that indicates an identifier of the dormant BWP. In response to determining whether the BWP of the Scell is a dormant BWP, the UE determines a set of actions performable by the UE based on whether the BWP is a dormant BWP; and performs the set of actions.

Embodiments herein relate to a method performed by a user equipment, UE (), for communicating in a wireless communication network. The UE () receives a wake-up signal with a multibit indication from a radio network node (), wherein the multibit indication comprises a first bit indicating to start or not to start, for a first cell, an on-duration timer at one or more of the next occurrence of an on-duration, and a second bit indicating to apply dormancy or non-dormancy behavior on a second cell at the next occurrence of an on-duration for the second cell. The UE () further performs an action related to the wake-up signal taking the received multibit indication into account.

The first set of resource elements can be in the at least one symbol of the subframe. An attempt can be made to decode the data packet in at least a second set of resource elements within the set of resource blocks. The second set of resource elements can be in the at least one symbol of the subframe. The second set of resource elements can include at least one resource element that is not in the first set of resource elements. The data packet in one of the first set of resource elements and the second set of resource elements can be successfully decoded. A data payload of the decoded data packet can be delivered to an application layer.
