    Abstract: Method, apparatus and computer program product where a base station broadcasts a signal indicating that at least one time-frequency region, which is unused by a data transmission in a first radio access technology, is available for a transmission, allowing the base station to maintain support for and/or extending coverage of certain legacy user equipment. Such a transmission includes system information for a second radio access technology, wake-up signal, synchronization signal, and/or extension of the data transmission. Thereafter, the base station transmits such a transmission in the at least one time-frequency region that was indicated.

    Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for a second resource set for a reduced capability user equipment or enhanced reduced capability user equipment as well as a mapping offset for frequency diversity are provided. For example, a method may include receiving from a network element in a radio access network, a first configuration for a first control resource set (CORESET) having a bandwidth that exceeds a bandwidth of the terminal device. The method may also include determining a second configuration for a second CORESET. The second CORESET may have multiple segments. Each of the segments may not exceed a bandwidth of the terminal device.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to devices, methods, apparatuses and computer readable storage media of energy harvesting information supported User Equipment (UE) scheduling. The method includes reporting, to a network device in the radio network, energy harvesting capability of the terminal device indicating a first energy value (ΔEt) collected during a first time interval (Δt) and a second energy value (EAvg) averaged over a second time interval; and communicating with the network device to transmit data according to scheduling information received from the network device and determined based on the energy harvesting capability of the terminal device. In this way, the terminal device may be scheduled by the network based on its energy harvesting capability, to maintain a trade-off between harvested energy utilization and fairness in scheduling from Passive IoT UEs.
