Abstract: Example embodiments of the present disclosure relate to layer interactions for flushed data in HARQ buffer. In an embodiment, an apparatus receives from a network device an indication indicating that one or more RLC entities of the apparatus are not reset or reestablished. The apparatus indicates, from a MAC entity of the apparatus to an RLC entity of the one or more RLC entities of the apparatus, information related to RLC data. The information related to the RLC data is determined based on at least one MAC PDU associated with one or more HARQ buffers that are flushed or to be flushed. In this way, the data flushed from the HARQ buffers upon LTM can be immediately retransmitted by the RLC entity without waiting for RLC status report from the network, the interruption of data communication can be reduced, and LTM is optimized.

Abstract: Example embodiments of the present disclosure relate to initiation of small data transmission (SDT). A first device determines whether SDT is allowed to be initiated at a first protocol layer of the first device. In accordance with a determination that the SDT is allowed to be initiated at the first protocol layer, the first device determines whether the SDT is allowed to be initiated at a second protocol layer of the first device. In accordance with a determination that the SDT is allowed to be initiated at the second protocol layer, the first device initiates, via the first protocol layer, a communication procedure for the SDT with a second device. Through this solution, it is possible to avoid unnecessary interactions between protocol layers as well as avoid false resume of the radio bearer when the SDT procedure cannot be performed.

Abstract: A UE receives configuration of early state handling assistance information and determines whether early state handling assistance should be reported in a request for a connection to a network. The UE requests the connection to the network, performing one of the following: reporting the early state handling assistance from the network using RRC message(s); or not reporting the early state handling assistance from the network, by the UE using RRC message(s) without an indication of early state handling assistance. A base station transmits the configuration, receives the RRC message(s), and determines whether the message(s) include reporting of the early state handling assistance. The base station performs one of the following: for the RRC message(s) including reporting of early state handling assistance, performing RRC reconfigurations with early state handling processing; or for the RRC message(s) without reporting of early state handling assistance, performing RRC reconfigurations without the early state handling processing.

Abstract: Example embodiments of the present disclosure relate to transmission in a small data transmission mode. A first device selects, based on a mode selection configuration, a small data transmission mode to be initiated from a plurality of small data transmission modes. The second device determines selection of a small data transmission mode to be initiated by a first device from a plurality of small data transmission modes. The first device performs a small data transmission procedure with the second device according to the selected small data transmission mode. Through this solution, a suitable SDT mode is selected based on the predetermined or predefined mode selection configuration.

Abstract: Various example embodiments relate to energy efficient paging of dual-mode user equipment (UE). A UE may receive paging configuration information from a first network. The paging configuration information may comprise paging parameter(s) for monitoring a paging channel of a second network. Based on the received paging configuration information, the UE may monitor the paging channel of the second network and receive a paging message associated with the first network from the second network. In response to receiving the paging message from the second network, the UE may transmit a paging response to the first network. Apparatuses, methods, and computer programs are disclosed.
