Abstract: A terminal device selects are source indicator to be used for non-scheduled access and transmits it to an access device of the network in the non-scheduled access. If it determines based on a response to the non-scheduled access, that it has selected the same resource indicator as another terminal device, it keeps the resource indicator but selects different physical random access channel occasions by setting a time offset for a retransmission with the selected resource indicator. An initial waiting time may be determined by the access device (e.g. based on a traffic amount on the access channel) and transmitted to the terminal device for setting the time offset. Also, a layer (2) error caused by a random access channel resource collision of terminal devices may be determined at the access device and a feedback indicating a non-acknowledgement for layer (2) may be transmitted to colliding terminal devices.

Abstract: A method, apparatus and computer program product receive an application flow comprising a source flow and a supplementary flow from a core network. The method, apparatus and computer program product receive a flow payload indication from the core network. The method, apparatus and computer program product determine whether the application flow is to be transmitted via a unicast transmission or a multicast transmission. The method, apparatus and computer program product determine whether the supplementary flow is droppable based on the flow payload indication and whether the application flow is to be transmitted via a unicast transmission or a multicast transmission. The method, apparatus and computer program product cause only the source flow to be transmitted in a circumstance where the supplementary flow is droppable.

Abstract: According to an aspect, there is provided an access node for a radio access network. The access node comprises means for determining, in response to receiving a plurality of data packets associated with one or more radio bearers for scheduling to terminal devices, an over-the-air transmission mode of each radio bearer. The means are further configured to, in response to determining that the one or more radio bearers comprise one or more first explicit multi-unicast, Xcast, radio bearers using multicast and one or more second radio bearers using unicast, schedule the one or more radio bearers according to a first scheduling mechanism. The first scheduling mechanism prioritizes the one or more first Xcast radio bearers to maximize a system throughput.
