    Abstract: A method, apparatus, and non-transitory program storage device for handling of a resumption in connection is described. The method includes determining whether a periodic radio access network based notification area update timer has expired; when the periodic radio access network based notification area update timer has been determined to have expired: setting a variable to a first setting; the variable comprising a pendingPeriodicRNAUpdate variable; and determining whether an upper layer has requested resumption of a radio resource control connection, and either: initiating a radio resource control connection resume procedure with a cause value set based on information received from the upper layers, or initiating a radio resource control connection resume procedure with a cause value set to rna-Update.

    Abstract: Example embodiments of the present disclosure relate to handling emergency access. A method comprises: at a first apparatus, in accordance with a determination that an access to a cell by the first apparatus is barred, monitoring an indication related to an emergency access in the cell; determining, based on a result of the monitoring, whether the first apparatus is allowed to perform emergency access in the cell.

    Abstract: This disclosure presents solutions for allowing a transmitter of multicast broadcast services (MBS) to select a mapping algorithm for mapping synchronization signal block (SSB) beams to slots with PDCCH monitoring occasions (MOs) of a multicast control channel (MCCH) window duration. The transmitter can be a communication node. In some example embodiments, the transmitter can receive assistance information from one or more UEs and utilize that assistance information to determining the mapping algorithm to utilize. The transmitter can determine whether across MCCH window duration mapping is enabled or disabled. The transmitter can determine the pattern of repetition of SSB beams when there are more slots with PDCCH MOs in the MCCH window duration than there are SSB beams in a set of SSB beams where each SSB beam has at least one UE interested at MBS. The SSB beam mapping can be communicated to MBS receivers, allowing them to optimize operations by listening to their respective appropriate monitoring occasions.
