    Abstract: Apparatuses, methods and software are provided. The first apparatus comprises at least one processor; and at least one memory including computer program codes; the at least one memory and the computer program codes are configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the device at least to transmit a transport block of a HARQ process on preconfigured resources for an uplink transmission to a second apparatus while starting a first timer and a second timer for the HARQ process. The first timer indicates a time period during which the transport block is able to be retransmitted, and wherein the second timer is configured to expire before the first timer; monitor a response associated with the transport block from the second apparatus; and in response to the second timer expiring before receiving the response and before expiry of the first timer, retransmit the transport block while restarting the second timer.

    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method including determining that buffered data associated with a first sub-set of logical channel groups from a set of logical channel groups is available for transmission; generating a buffer status report, the buffer status report comprising information identifying the first sub-set of logical channel groups from a set of logical channel groups; and, associated with a second sub-set of logical channel groups, information identifying the amount of buffered data available for transmission, the second sub-set of logical channel groups being a proper sub-set of the first sub-set of logical channel groups; and transmitting the buffer status report.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to methods and devices for transmission by selecting between uplink resources. According to a method implemented by a terminal device in a communication system, a configuration of a first resource is received from a network device, the first resource being a grant-free resource. An uplink grant is received from the network device, indicating a second resource for use in a transmission time interval. The terminal device determines, based on the configuration of the first resource, whether the first resource is available in the transmission time interval. In response to determining that the first resource is available and possibly in response to a predefined condition associated with a logical channel for the terminal device is met, the terminal device transmits uplink data to the network device using the first resource.

    Abstract: In accordance with the example embodiments of the invention there is at least a method and apparatus to performing determining, by a device of a communication network, that at least one PDCP PDU of a PDCP sublayer is duplicated for transmission over at least one logical channel; signaling to an RLC sublayer an indication of the at least one PDCP PDU that is duplicated; and based on the signaling, controlling duplication of the at least one PDCP PDU for transmission over the at least one logical channel. Further, performing receiving, at a device of a communication network, an indication through a received signaling indicating that at least one PDCP PDU of a PDCP sublayer is to be duplicated; determining to duplicate the at least one PDCP PDU; duplicating the at least one PDCP PDU based on the determination; and transmitting the duplicated PDCP PDU over at least one logical channel.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to random access in a communication system. A first device determines whether a contention-free random access resource is allocated from a second device for a first random access type. In accordance with a determination that the contention-free random access resource is allocated, the first device compares a target transport block size corresponding to the contention-free random access resource with a first transport block size configured for a first group of preambles available for the first random access type, and performs random access to the second device based on a result of the comparison.

    Abstract: While a transmission time interval (TTI) length of other than 1 ms is in effect for communication between mobile and network nodes, at least one timer related to discontinuous reception (DRX) is implemented according to a rule that defines a time duration of the timer different from a time duration of the same timer implemented when the TTI length is defined as 1 ms. There are a plurality of such DRX-related timers, and in certain embodiments each is associated with one rule of a set of rules for implementing the respective timer when the TTI length is other than 1 ms; and in particular examples the timers are associated with groups for this purpose and all the timers of at least one of the groups is implemented according to the same rule of the set. Thus new DRX parameters need not be sent anytime the TTI length changes.
