    Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for reducing latency in 5G/NR are provided. One method may include determining, by a network node, to apply selective reordering of one or more data units received at a user equipment, and indicating the decision to apply selective reordering to the user equipment. The selective reordering temporarily alters packet data convergence protocol window behaviour in the user equipment such that a packet data convergence protocol layer in the user equipment is caused to deliver, to upper layer(s), the stored data units with an associated count value that is less than the count value associated with a data unit at the user equipment and/or the stored data units with consecutively associated count values starting from the count value associated with a data unit at the user equipment.

    Abstract: An apparatus for use by a communication element or function communicating in a first network area of a communication network, the first network area being controlled by first communication network control element or function, the apparatus comprising at least one processing circuitry, and at least one memory for storing instructions to be executed by the processing circuitry, wherein the at least one memory and the instructions are configured to, with the at least one processing circuitry, cause the apparatus at least: to conduct a processing for a conditional handover procedure of the communication element or function served by the first communication network control element or function, to receive and process, in the processing for the conditional handover procedure, handover configuration information defining how the conditional handover procedure is to be executed at the communication element or function, wherein the handover configuration information includes instructions for the communication element or function, to determine whether a radio link or physical layer issue is present, and in case the presence of the radio link or physical layer issue for the communication connection to the first network area is determined, to conduct a conditional handover preference processing in which an execution of a conditional handover of the communication element or function to another network area is prioritized in comparison to other measures for keeping the communication element or function in connection with the communication network.

    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.
