Abstract: A technique includes receiving, by a first user device within a wireless network, an indication that the wireless network supports slice-specific grouped paging for at least a first slice-specific paging group, wherein the first user device is a member of the first slice-specific paging group; decoding, by the first user device, a received downlink control information that has been directed to the first slice-specific paging group to obtain scheduling information for a paging message for the first slice-specific paging group; receiving, by the first user device from the base station based on the scheduling information, the paging message for the first slice-specific paging group; and receiving, by the first user device, data based on the paging message.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for controlling communication with a communication device connected to a plurality of access points are described. Predefined inactivity in communications between a first access point and the communication device may be determined at the first access point. An indication of predefined inactivity in communications between the communication device and a second access point may be provided by the second access point. Connectivity state of the communication device is only changed when said predefined inactivity in communications between the first access point and the communication device has been determined and said indication has been provided.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus are disclosed, wherein a configuration of at least one channel monitoring related timer is defined such that the effective value of the channel monitoring related timer is mapped to a coverage enhancement CE level. The apparatus performs monitoring of downlink control channel sub-frames transmitted from a network element to a terminal device, according to said configuration of the channel monitoring related timer.

Abstract: A specific hyper frame to be used for paging information in a cycle is determined. The cycle includes multiple eDRX periods, and includes a number of hyper frames. Each of the multiple eDRX periods has a same duration. The determining uses at least a value corresponding to an identification of a UE and the duration to determine the specific hyper frame. An index is determined of a first paging frame and paging subframe, in multiple consecutive paging frames, in the specific hyper frame. One or more of the consecutive paging frames and corresponding paging subframes in the specific hyper frame are monitored by using the determined index of the first paging frame and paging subframe. Apparatus, methods, programs, and computer program products are disclosed.
