    Abstract: An apparatus, method and computer program is described comprising: obtaining signal measurements from a plurality of antenna panels of a user device at respective first sampling rates corresponding to each of the plurality of antenna panels, wherein a rate at which each of the plurality of antenna panels perform signal measurements is determined based on the respective first sampling rates; determining whether a first condition is satisfied or whether a second condition is satisfied, wherein at least one of the first condition or the second condition relates to a probability of an inbound handover; and increasing at least one of the respective first sampling rates to one or more respective second sampling rates in response to determining that the first condition is satisfied, or decreasing at least one of the first sampling rates to one or more respective third sampling rates in response to determining that the second condition is satisfied.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to apparatuses, methods, and computer readable storage media for master node centric reference configuration generation. In the methods, a master node receives, from at least one secondary node, respective cell configurations of one or more cells prepared as candidate primary secondary cells for a terminal device. Then, the master node generates a reference configuration for the one or more cells based on the respective cell configurations, and obtains respective delta configurations for the one or more cells. A delta configuration represents a difference between a cell configuration of a respective cell and the reference configuration. Moreover, the master node transmits the reference configuration and the respective delta configurations to at least one of the terminal device, or a serving secondary node of the terminal device. Thereby, the proposed solutions can advantageously minimize the signaling overhead.

    Abstract: A method including receiving, from a second cell, a paging message associated with a network slice supported by a first cell, wherein the paging message includes at least an indication indicating to wait for a command indicative of performing a re-direction or a handover from the second cell to the first cell before transmitting a service request to a network associated with the first cell and the second cell; performing, by the terminal device, the re-direction or the handover from the second cell to the first cell upon receiving the command; and transmitting, through the first cell, the service request upon completing the re-direction or the handover from the second cell to the first cell, wherein the service request indicates a request for establishing a protocol data unit session associated with the network slice.

    Abstract: Described herein is a source network element configured for supporting a conditional mobility procedure in a dual connectivity (DC) setup involving at least one target network element and a user equipment, UE, served by a first primary cell (PCell) of the source network element, the target network element being associated with a second PCell and a plurality of primary secondary cells (PSCells) for supporting a conditional PSCell addition and change (CPAC) procedure, the source network element comprising: at least one processor; and at least one memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the source network element at least to: receive, from the target network element, respective CPAC condition configurations for the plurality of PSCells; obtain condition information indicative of at least one criterion for one or more beams associated with respective PSCells, wherein the at least one criterion is for facilitating determination of at least one PSCell that is associated with a beam fulfilling the criterion from the plurality of PSCells; and transmit the CPAC condition configurations and the condition information indicative of the criterion to the UE for evaluation of the respective CPAC condition of the at least one PSCell.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a technique for steering a Random Access Channel (RACH) a wireless communication network supporting a set of network slices. More specifically, the technique involves generating, at a RAN node, RACH steering information for the set of network slices. The RACH steering information comprises an indication for a UE to select one of available RACH configurations with a RACH configuration-specific probability. In one embodiment, the RACH steering information may be defined based on at least one network slice-specific RACH policy or at least one network slice-specific resource sharing quota provided from a network management entity to the RAN node. In another embodiment, the RAN node may generate RACH steering information based on locally available information about the set of network slices. Once the RACH steering information is generated, the RAN node transmits it to the UE. By using the RACH steering information, it is possible to dynamically adjust a RACH load among multiple network slice-specific RACH configurations and common RACH configurations, thereby efficiently balancing the RACH load (i.e., RACH utilization rate) across the set of network slices.
