Embodiments include methods for determining a movement state of a user equipment (UE) operating in a radio access network (RAN). Such methods include performing positioning measurements on signals received from a plurality of transmission points (TPs) in the RAN, including first measurements of Doppler shift of signals from a first TP, second measurements of Doppler shift of signals from a second TP that is spatially separated from the first TP, and third measurements of signals from a third TP. The third TP can be the same as the first or second TP, or spatially separated from both. Such methods include determining a UE movement state based on the positioning measurements and an interacting multiple-model (IMM) that includes a first almost-constant velocity model, a second maneuver velocity model, and a Doppler shift bias state common to the first and second models. Other embodiments include complementary methods for a RAN node.

A first radio access network, RAN, node in a communication network can determine whether to provide dual connectivity to a user equipment, UE, in the communication network based on an UL quality. The first RAN node can receive data indicating characteristics of an uplink, UL, channel of one or more UL channels for a second RAN node in the communication network. The first RAN node can estimate an UL quality of the UL channel based on the data. The first RAN node can determine based on the UL quality, whether to provide dual connectivity to the UE in the communication network by adding the second RAN node as a secondary node serving the UE.

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.
