    Abstract: Example embodiments of the present disclosure relate to bandwidth part selections of random access procedure. According to embodiments of the present disclosure, a terminal device receives configuration information from a network device. The configuration information indicates a set of BWPs and configurations of the set of BWPs. When a random access procedure is triggered for a certain feature combination, the terminal device determines whether a condition for switching to a target BWP is fulfilled. If the condition is fulfilled, the terminal device switches to the target BWP. In this way, it improves resource efficiency.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to devices, methods, apparatuses and computer-readable storage medium for monitoring of a Paging Early Indication (PEI). In some example embodiments, there is provided a method implemented in a terminal device. In the method, the terminal device receives a first indication of a total number of subgroups of terminal devices from a network device. In accordance with a determination that a first value of the first indication equals to a reference value in a first set of reference values or the first indication is absent, the terminal device determined whether a Paging Early Indication (PEI) for a Paging Occasion (PO) is to be detected by the terminal device based on one or more predefined conditions.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to determination of terminal device's identify. A terminal device determines an identity (ID) of the terminal device based on configuration status of extended Discontinuous Reception (eDRX) and current Radio Resource Control (RRC) state of the terminal device; and determines one or both of paging frame (PF) and paging occasion (PO) based on the determined ID of the terminal device. In this way, paging in the eDRX can work well in RRC idle state or RRC inactive state, and the network and the UE may be synchronized with UE's PF and PO for paging in the eDRX.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to methods, devices, apparatuses, and computer readable medium for small data transmission (SDT). A first device, in response to first data to be transmitted via a SDT corresponding to a first set of resources for a random access procedure and a second set of resources for a configured grant procedure, determine a target resource for at least a part of the first data based on a logical channel restriction on the SDT; and transmit, to a second device, at least the part of the first data on the target resource. In this way, the SDT procedure can be performed with logical channel restrictions, which allows a better isolation of services through specific resource selection. The communication efficiency and network performance can also be improved.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to methods and apparatus for device capability indication. A terminal device obtains a medium access control (MAC) protocol data unit (PDU) comprising a MAC subheader. The MAC subheader comprises a reduced capability (RedCap) bit for indicating that the terminal device supports enhanced RedCap. The terminal device transmits the MAC PDU to a network device. In this way, an indication of the enhanced RedCap can be provided efficiently, for example, without consuming more values of the short logical channel ID (LCID) field in the MAC subheader.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to devices, methods, apparatuses and computer readable storage media of paging enhancement mechanism. The method comprises: in accordance with a determination that no early paging indication is received from a second device during a set of indication occasions, determining, at a first device, whether a paging-related condition is met, the early paging indication addressing a set of paging occasions, the second device serving the first device; in accordance with a determination that the paging-related condition is met, refraining from monitoring for paging message on the set of paging occasions; and in accordance with a determination that the paging-related condition is not met, monitoring for the paging message on the set of paging occasions. As such, the paging mechanism performed between the terminal device and the network device can be adapted to the network conditions, reliability, power consumption and so on.
