Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for 5G support for time sensitive communication. One method may include sending a report of user equipment capabilities to a communication network. The method may also include receiving a propagation delay compensation configuration from a network node. The method may further include configuring a communication with the network node based on the propagation delay compensation configuration. Further, the propagation delay compensation configuration may take into consideration at least one of propagation delay compensation information from an application function or the report.

Application function influencing intra-5G propagation delay compensation

A user equipment (UE) may receive an OFDM signal having control channel elements (CCEs). The CCEs may be arranged in levels where a first level aggregates less CCEs than a second level. A processor may search for a control channel from control channel candidates that is comprised of the CCEs. A limited number of CCEs may be searched on the first level.

Searching for control channels in a wireless network

Method, apparatuses, and computer program products provide means for monitoring time sources for nodes of a network and providing timing resiliency solutions. An example method includes: establishing time synchronization within a network comprising a plurality of nodes using a time source; receiving an indication regarding at least one of degradation or failure of the time source for at least one node; receiving an indication regarding at least recovery of the time source for the at least one node; and determining, within the network, an action to be taken to upon failure at the at least one node in response to the at least one of the degradation or the failure of the time source for the at least one node, where the action to be taken comprises instructing the at least one node to leverage either hold over functionality or a backup time source.

Time source health monitoring support for network timing resiliency

Disclosed is a method comprising estimating a time synchronization accuracy associated with a plurality of base stations comprising at least a first base station and a second base station based at least partly on one or more uncertainty factors determined by the terminal device, selecting the second base station from the plurality of base stations by comparing the estimated time synchronization accuracy associated with the plurality of base stations, and synchronizing a clock based on the selected second base station.

Clock synchronization

An apparatus including at least one processor and at least one memory including computer program code. The at least one memory and the computer program code configured, with the at least one processor, to cause the apparatus at least to receive, from a serving access node, a downlink radio resource control message including reference time information for a clock provided by the serving access node and traceability information for enabling traceability of the clock to a reference time standard. The traceability information includes at least information on a clock class indicative of a current status of the clock provided by the serving access node.

UTC traceability support for terminal devices

According to an example aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method comprising, embedding information for time synchronization to a SSB, encrypting the SSB and transmitting in a cellular communication network the encrypted SSB comprising the information for time synchronization.

Time synchronization in cellular communication networks

An apparatus including circuitry configured for: transmitting a first data flow in resources of a first periodic resource configuration; and transmitting a second data flow in resources of a second periodic resource configuration, determining that there is an at least partial overlap in time between a first allocation of the first periodic resource configuration and a second allocation of the second periodic resource configuration; and in response to determining that there is the at least partial overlap, transmitting data of the first data flow and data of the second data flow in resources of at least one further periodic resource configuration.

Multi-configured grant support for multiple time-sensitive-network data flows

Various example embodiments provide efficient jitter control by means of a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) process. Abase station may transmit to a UE a forwarding time parameter for data packet(s) associated with a HARQ process. The UEmay store the data packet(s) in a HARQ buffer and determine to hold the data packet(s) in the HARQ buffer until a delivery time determined based on the forwarding time parameter. Once the delivery time has been reached, the UE may forward the data packets to higher protocol layers. This enables efficient jitter control of a data packet flow. Apparatuses, methods, and computer programs are disclosed.

Jitter control with hybrid automatic repeat request process

It is provided a method, including determining a parameter of a data flow to pass through a non-deterministic network and a buffering device; configuring the data flow in at least one of a network element of the non-deterministic network and the buffering device based on the parameter, wherein the parameter is determined based on a capability of the buffering device.

Signalling of dejittering buffer capabilities for TSN integration

Certain embodiments may relate to communication systems, and, for example, some embodiments may relate to multi-QoS level uplink grants. According to a first embodiment, a method may include transmitting, by a first network entity, one or more grants of one or more uplink resources to a second network entity. The one or more grants of one or more uplink resources includes one or more physical resource allocation parameters containing one or more logical channel groups. The method may further include receiving, by the first network entity, data from the second network entity allocated according to the one or more logical channel groups.

Systems, methods, and software of directly connecting a SIM-less device with a cellular network. In one embodiment, User Equipment (UE) includes a Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) provisioned with a plurality of subscription profiles for subscriptions to the cellular network. The UE establishes a direct communication with a SIM-less device that does not have a subscription with the cellular network. The UE selects one of the subscriptions provisioned in the SIM as a temporary subscription assigned to the SIM-less device to allow the SIM-less device to establish a direct connection with the cellular network using the temporary subscription, and transmits a message to the SIM-less device via the direct communication containing subscription credentials for the temporary subscription. The SIM-less device may therefore register with the cellular network using the subscription credentials provided by the UE, and establish a direct connection with the cellular network using the temporary subscription.

An apparatus which is able to communicate based on at least two communication methods, wherein each communication method is configured to communicate with access networks by using at least one subflow, acquires (S) information from at least one of the communication methods for at least one of the subflows and provides (S) the information to a subflow control entity at a higher layer of the apparatus. Based on the information, the subflow control entity evaluates (S) whether a change will occur in the at least one of the subflows. In case the change is evaluated to occur in the at least one of the subflows, the subflow control entity evaluates (S) when the change will occur, and evaluates (S) whether the change evaluated to occur impacts a specific requirement of delivering packets by using the at least one of the subflows. In case the change is evaluated to impact the specific requirement, the subflow control entity changes (S) usage of the subflows for delivering packets.
