Methods and apparatus in a fifth-generation wireless communications, including an example method, in a wireless device, that includes receiving a downlink signal comprising an uplink access configuration index, using the uplink access configuration index to identify an uplink access configuration from among a predetermined plurality of uplink access configurations, and transmitting to the wireless communications network according to the identified uplink access configuration. The example method further includes, in the same wireless device, receiving, in a first subframe, a first Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplexing (OFDM) transmission formatted according to a first numerology and receiving, in a second subframe, a second OFDM transmission formatted according to a second numerology, the second numerology differing from the first numerology. Variants of this method, corresponding apparatuses, and corresponding network-side methods and apparatuses are also disclosed.

Methods and apparatus in a fifth-generation wireless communications network, including an example method, in a wireless device, that includes determining a reporting quality threshold for a parameter related to channel state information (CSI); performing a measurement for each of a plurality of beams from a first predetermined set of beams for evaluation; evaluating the measurement for each of the plurality of beams against the reporting quality threshold; discontinuing the performing and evaluating of measurements in response to determining that the reporting quality threshold is met for one of the beams, such that one or more beams in the first predetermined set of beams are not measured and evaluated; and reporting, to the wireless communications network, CSI for the one of the beams.

A method of operating a wireless communication device () includes transmitting (), to a first communication network (-), a request () for one or more communication gaps () in a communication along a data connection () associated with a first identity () of the wireless communication device () and monitoring (), in accordance with a timing of the one or more communication gaps (), for one or more paging signals () from a second communication network (-), the one or more paging signals () being associated with a second identity () of the wireless communication device ().

Communication gaps for paging of multi-subscriber identity wireless communication devices

A method of operating a wireless communication device () connectable to a cellular network () includes obtaining information () indicating whether a wake-up signaling operation is activated for the wireless communication device () in individual cells (-) of the cellular network (). The method also includes determining, based on the obtained information () and a current cell of the cellular network (), whether the wake-up signaling operation is activated for the wireless communication device () in the current cell. The method further includes, upon determining that the wake-up signaling operation is activated in the current cell: monitoring for a wake-up signal () prior to a paging occasion () in accordance with the wake-up signaling operation.

Activation of wake-up signaling operation

A method performed by a wireless device for determining a timing advance (TA) offset in a new radio (NR) network is described herein along with associated network devices and systems. An exemplary method includes obtaining an indication of whether a carrier frequency of the NR network coexists with a carrier frequency of a long term evolution (LTE) network, determining, based on whether the carrier frequency of the NR network coexists with carrier frequency of the LTE network, a TA offset for uplink transmission; and transmitting an uplink transmission using the determined TA offset.

Methods performed by a wireless device operating in a dormant mode comprise performing a measurement on each of a plurality of resources from a predetermined set of resources or demodulating and decoding information from each of a plurality of resources from a predetermined set of resources, such as a set of beams. The methods further include evaluating the measurement or the demodulated and decoded information for each of the plurality of resources against a predetermined criterion, and then discontinuing the performing and evaluating of measurements, or discontinuing the demodulating and decoding and evaluation of information, in response to determining that the predetermined criterion is met, such that one or more resources in the predetermined set of resources are neither measured nor demodulated and decoded. The methods further comprise deactivating receiver circuitry, further in response to determining that the predetermined criterion is met.

Dormant mode measurement optimization

According to various examples, a method for operating a wireless communication device () connectable to a cellular network () comprising a plurality of cells (-) is provided. The method comprises receiving (), from the cellular network (), configuration information for delaying a transmission of a paging area update request that triggers a paging area update of a paging area of a paging operation of the wireless communication device (). Furthermore the method comprises, when operating in a disconnected mode associated with the paging operation, determining () that the paging area update is required, and upon determining () that the paging area update is required, delaying () the transmission of the paging area update request in accordance with the configuration information.

Paging area update

In some embodiments, a network node (e.g., a base station) collects information pertaining to components that form a Maximum Received Timing Difference (MRTD). For instance, the network node determines TAE. The network node then evaluates, for a particular UE, whether a certain MRTD requirement (MRTDR) for a specific coordinated service (CS) can be fulfilled. If the requirement can be met, then the network node may initiate the specific CS for the UE (or continue providing the CS), and if the requirement cannot be met, then the network node may stop or modify the CS for the UE.

Optimizing usage of a coordinated service

A method of adapting radio resources based on physical conditions in a device for wireless communication is disclosed. The method comprises determining radio conditions, mapping the radio conditions to a metric, reporting the radio conditions to a handler of radio resources, and using the reported radio conditions and their mappings to the metric by the handler for radio resource operations. A device for wireless communication and a computer program are also disclosed.

Method of adapting radio resources, device and computer program

A network node in a wireless communication network generates configuration information that configures an extent to which a wireless communication device autonomously adapts a number of different receiver components that the wireless communication device uses under different conditions at the wireless communication device. In some examples, the different conditions may be associated with correlation of propagation channels received at the wireless communication device. The network node transmits the configuration information to the device. Correspondingly, the device autonomously adapts the number of different receiver components that the wireless communication device uses in accordance with the configuration information.
