Abstract:
Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for joint operation of two or more radio access technologies (RATs) is provided. One method includes determining, by a network node of a first radio access technology, that a user equipment is about to connect with a second radio access technology. The method may further include informing the second radio access technology that the connection with the user equipment is a dual-radio access technology connection. The second radio access technology is one of a master or slave radio access technology, and the slave radio access technology has restricted mobility management functionality compared to the master radio access technology.
Abstract:
A method includes receiving information on a requested transmission time interval length for use by a user equipment, determining if said requested transmission time interval length can be used, and if not causing a different transmission time interval length to be used by said user equipment.
Abstract:
An apparatus includes multi-flow communicating means adapted to perform a communication with a UE including a portion of a multi-flow communication to the UE; evaluating means adapted to evaluate the communication with the UE; and providing means adapted to provide a DTX/DRX information based on the evaluation. The DTX/DRX information is related to at least one of a discontinuous transmission state and a discontinuous reception state of the UE. The instructing means is adapted to instruct the multi-flow communicating means to send DTX/DRX activation request with respect to the at least one of the discontinuous transmission state and the discontinuous reception state according to the DTX/DRX information to the UE. The storing means is adapted to store a status information, wherein the status information includes the at least one of the discontinuous transmission state and the discontinuous reception state corresponding to the instruction by the instructing means.
