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.

Uplink aware dual connectivity

Systems and methods for using response times of one or more Radio Access Network (RAN) nodes for cell or beam selection or reselection are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a method performed by a User Equipment (UE) for cell or beam selection or reselection in a cellular communications system comprises receiving response times from one or more RAN nodes. The method further comprises performing a cell or beam selection or reselection procedure that takes into consideration the response times received from the one or more RAN nodes. Corresponding embodiments of a UE are also disclosed. Embodiments of a method performed by a RAN node and corresponding embodiments of a RAN node are also disclosed.

A wireless terminal () capable of operating in a discontinuous mode comprising and method for operating such wireless terminal () facilitate measurements pertaining to position of the wireless terminal (). The method includes receiving a message from the radio access network (). The measurement request message is configured to indicate that measurements are to be performed by the wireless terminal on downlink signals transmitted by the base station or by the base station on downlink signals transmitted by the base station. The method further comprises, as a result of or after receiving the message, changing operation of the wireless terminal () from a discontinuous mode to a modified mode to facilitate performance of the measurements. Relative to the discontinuous mode at least one of following are shortened or eliminated in the modified mode: (i) the non-reception periods, and (ii) the non-transmission periods. 'Changing from a discontinuous mode . . . to a modified mode' includes one or more of: (1) changing mode of the wireless terminal (e.g., changing from a discontinuous mode [such as discontinuous reception (DRX) or discontinuous transmission (DTX)] to a continuous transmission mode); (2) changing from the discontinuous mode (a first discontinuous mode) to a modified discontinuous mode (a second discontinuous mode).

The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for requesting scheduling of resources to be used for uplink communication of data in a communications system. If the repeated transmission by a user equipment of scheduling requests on an uplink control channel is determined to be unsuccessful, a random access transmission on a random access channel is initiated as a fallback procedure.

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.

The at least one DL TEID associated with the DRB is then sent to the CU-UP.
