Abstract: According to an aspect, there is provided a terminal device comprising means for performing the following. The terminal device transmits a tethering request for setting up a tethering cell over at least one communications network to at least one tethering terminal device capable of setting up a tethering cell. Then, the terminal device performs tethering cell discovery for discovering tethering cells set up by any of said at least one tethering terminal device. In response to discovering a tethering cell provided by a tethering terminal device of said at least one tethering terminal device, the terminal device accesses the tethering cell.

Abstract: The example embodiments of the invention provide at least a method and apparatus to measure, by a user equipment, a communication quality with at least one measured cell of a communication node while the user equipment is in an idle or inactive state; upon the user equipment transitioning to a connected state, determine by the user equipment that the communication quality with the at least one measured cell is larger than a threshold; and transmit information comprising a measurement report from the user equipment to a network equipment that the at least one measured cell meets the threshold for the network equipment to signal the user equipment to configure communication with the at least one measured cell without further measurements from the user equipment. Further, a method and apparatus to receive by a network equipment information comprising a measurement report from a user equipment which is waking from an idle or inactive state and seeking access to a serving cell communication, wherein the measurement report comprises an identification of a cell which met a communication quality threshold with the user equipment while the user equipment was in the idle or inactive state; compare the measurement report received by the network equipment from the user equipment to a predetermined threshold value, wherein based on the comparing the network equipment is caused to configure communication with the cell without further measurements from the user equipment, wherein based on the comparing the network equipment is caused to configure communication with the cell without further measurements from the user equipment; and send a signal from the network equipment to the user equipment with instructions for the user equipment to configure communication with the cell without further measurements from the user equipment.

Abstract: A technique includes establishing, by a user device, a first connection with a first base station that is associated with a first radio access technology; sending, to the first base station, user device capability information including at least information indicating a first stand-alone peak data rate supported by the user device for the first radio access technology and information indicating a second stand-alone peak data rate supported by the user device for a second radio access technology; establishing a second connection between the user device and a second base station as part of a multi-radio access technology dual connectivity session with the user device; and receiving, by the user device from the second base station, resources for the second connection in accordance with a configured peak data rate for the second connection that is less than a stand-alone peak data rate for the second radio access technology.
