Abstract:
A method and an apparatus are disclosed, wherein a configuration of at least one channel monitoring related timer is defined such that the effective value of the channel monitoring related timer is mapped to a coverage enhancement CE level. The apparatus performs monitoring of downlink control channel sub-frames transmitted from a network element to a terminal device, according to said configuration of the channel monitoring related timer.
Abstract:
A user equipment uses extended discontinuous reception (DRX) when the user equipment is in connected mode with a communication network. The extended DRX comprises extended DRX cycles and offsets, which are based on a value of a specific DRX cycle. The user equipment receives (S31) signaling from the communication network, the signaling comprising an extended DRX cycle indication and offset value, calculates (S32) an extended DRX cycle from the extended DRX cycle indication and an offset from the offset value, using the value of the specific DRX cycle, and executes (S33) the DRX when the user equipment is in the connected mode with the extended DRX cycle calculated and the offset calculated.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatuses for carrier aggregation with discontinuous reception is disclosed. At least two different time division duplexing configurations can be communicated from serving cells to a device, the subframes of the at least two different configurations being counted for purposes of operating at least one timer function according to a predefined rule of counting. Discontinuous communications by the serving cells with the device are controlled based on the predefined rule of counting such that at least one timer function associated with discontinuous reception from the serving cells is operated based on the counting.
Abstract:
There is provided a method including receiving, at a secondary cell, mapping information from a primary cell and using the mapping information to associate a connection request with a user equipment associated with the secondary cell.
Abstract:
Various example embodiments are disclosed herein. A technique is provided for controlling a response by a mobile station (MS) to a radio link failure detected by the MS in a dual connectivity wireless network in which the MS is connected to both a master base station (master BS) associated with a primary cell and a secondary base station (secondary BS) associated with a secondary cell. The MS may detect a radio link failure for a radio link between the MS and the secondary BS. In response to detecting the radio link failure, the MS may perform one of several preconfigured responses, or the MS may notify the master BS of the radio link failure, receive an instruction from the master BS, and then perform operations or respond to the radio link failure according to the received instruction.
Abstract:
A method including receiving information at an apparatus; and using said information for configuration of a radio resource control connection of said apparatus with a first node controlling a first cell and a second node controlling a second cell; and wherein said configuration of a radio resource control connection is made in dependence on a capability of said apparatus.
