Dual SIM operations with one SIM configured for Multi-radio dual connectivity. On request of a first SIM, the second SIM with dual connectivity, releases one of the two connections, by issuing an appropriate request to the network node.

Dual connectivity scenario for coordinated leave

Techniques of operating a MUSIM include providing information by a UE connected to a secondary node within a first network having a secondary cell group in a deactivated state to a second network to which the UE is connected, the information indicating that the UE is to be connected to a secondary cell group of a secondary node in the deactivated state. Specifically, the UE may send to the second network a first gap request requesting a first set of schedule gaps for performing measurements relating to the secondary cell group of the first network, the secondary cell group being in the deactivated state.

Apparatus, methods, and computer programs

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.

Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for survival time dependent flexible handover execution are provided. One method may include providing, by a network node, at least one handover execution condition to at least one user equipment. The at least one handover execution condition may include one or more delta values with respect to one or more actual handover execution conditions to allow for early and/or late execution of a handover by the at least one user equipment. The method may also include indicating, to the at least one user equipment, a transfer interval and/or a survival time information for which the at least one handover execution condition is taken into account.

Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, are provided for pi/2 BPSK initial access. In some example embodiments, there may be provided a method that includes receiving, at a user equipment, information indicating network support of an initial network access based on a pi/2 binary phase shift keying (pi/2-BPSK) modulation and coding scheme; and performing, in response to the received system information, the initial network access by at least sending a connection request based on the pi/2-BPSK modulation and coding scheme. Related systems, methods, and articles of manufacture are also described.

Pi/2-BPSK for initial access

A method comprising transmitting a configuration of a default time period, wherein the default time period is for allowing a terminal device to consider a request for leaving an active network connection to a first network as accepted by the first network if the first network does not send a response within that the default period, to the terminal device, receiving a first message, from the terminal device, indicating a request to leave the active network connection, determining an overriding condition that overrides the default time period for leaving the active network condition and transmitting, to the terminal device, a second message comprising the overriding condition.

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to device, method, apparatus and computer readable storage medium of serving cell change procedure utilizing the multiple candidate target cells. The method comprises receiving, from a second device, configuration information associated with a serving cell change procedure of the first device, the configuration information indicating at least a first candidate cell managed by a third device and a second candidate cell managed by a fourth device available for the serving cell change procedure; performing, during the serving cell change procedure, a first random access procedure to access the first candidate cell and a second random access procedure to access the second candidate cell; and accessing to a target cell determined from the first candidate cell and the second candidate cell after the serving cell change procedure is completed. In this way, the interruption time corresponding to CHO or CPC procedure when multiple candidates are available can be reduced.

According to a first embodiment, a method may include transmitting to at least one user equipment at least one configuration of channel quality indication comprising at least one indication of whether downlink transmissions associated with 16-quadrature amplitude modulation is supported. The method may further include receiving, based upon at least one condition being satisfied, from the at least one user equipment, at least one extended channel quality indication report.

A UE receives configuration from a source cell for conditional handover for target cell(s). At least one of the target cell(s) also supports DAPS handover. The UE determines that either a RLF or HOF has occurred. The UE selects one of the target cell(s) for a handover, and performs a process for handover to the selected target cell. A UE receives individual handover commands and corresponding configuration for conditional handover for target cell(s) and an indication to use DAPS handover if possible in response to a handover. The UE determined condition(s) for handover to one of the target cell(s) have triggered, wherein the one target cell supports DAPS handover. The UE performs, based on the indication to use DAPS handover if possible in response to a handover, handover by the user equipment to the one target cell without releasing the source cell while accessing the one target cell.
