Abstract: There are provided measures for enabling/realizing higher-layer beam management, e.g. beam failure detection or beam candidate detection in a higher layer such as a MAC entity. Such measures exemplarily comprise that a beam management timer is started when a (first) beam management instance indication from a lower layer is obtained, beam management is executed, wherein a beam management instance counter is incremented whenever a beam management instance indication from the lower layer is obtained and a beam management event is detected when the beam management instance counter reaches a beam management instance threshold before expiry of the beam management timer, and the beam management instance counter is reset upon expiry of the beam management timer.

Abstract: During an RRC Connection setup or resume procedure, a user equipment may explicitly identify itself to the network using Msg3. Rather than using the spare bit or including additional bits in Msg3, one or more values of the LCID field of the MAC sub-header of the MAC PDU may be used to identify a reduced capability user equipment. The one or more LCID field values that can identify a reduced capability user equipment may also be configured to identify a common control channel service data unit size. A plurality of LCID field values may be defined to identify varies types of RedCap UEs.

Abstract: Various communication systems may benefit from appropriate designation of communication mechanisms. For example, fifth generation communication systems may use refinement beam index beam identifier association. A method can include determining, by an access node, an association between at least one reported refinement beam index and at least one logical beam index based on reception of a refinement beam index report. The method can also include providing the association to a user equipment.

Abstract: Various communication systems may benefit from the appropriate handling of scheduling requests. For example, certain wireless communication systems may benefit from a scheduling request procedure involving multiple scheduling request configurations. A method can include transmitting, by a device, a first scheduling request at a first time. The method can also include setting, by the device, a timer from the first time prohibiting subsequent scheduling requests for a predetermined duration based on the transmission of the first scheduling request. The method can further include Identifying, by the device, a trigger for a new scheduling request subsequent to the first scheduling request. The method can additionally include modifying the timer based on the new scheduling request.
