    摘要: In one aspect, a first device inserts, in a time synchronization Information Element (IE), location information for a transmitter associated with one or more cells, the location information indicating two or more transmitter locations for the transmitter. The first device transmits the time synchronization IE to a second device. The second device receives the location information in the IE indicating a location for the transmission point. The second device determines the two or more transmitter locations from the location information, determines an estimated location for the transmitter and an accuracy for the estimated location based on the two or more transmitter locations, and determines synchronization timing for transmissions based on a synchronization signal received from the transmitter, the estimated location, and the accuracy.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a method in a node of a cellular network for supporting mobility, to a method in a user equipment for supporting mobility to in the cellular network, and to corresponding devices. According to one aspect, a method for supporting mobility in a cellular network is provided. The method runs in a node for the cellular network. According to the method, the node receives from a user equipment, an information of a radio link failure of a radio link between the user equipment and the cellular network and the node receives information related to a mobility of the user equipment. Based on the received information, the node adjusts at least one mobility parameter to increase robustness of mobility. The present invention improves robustness of mobility functions in a cellular network.

    摘要: Systems and methods for inhomogeneous slice support are provided. In some embodiments, a wireless device: signals an indication that it supports non-uniform slice availability and receives an information on how it may act based on the indicated slice support. In this way, some embodiments allow the Radio Access Network (RAN) and/or CN to correctly handle legacy and new UE types in a system where new UEs may be able to support non uniform slice availability. These may enable the CN to manage the legacy UEs in a way that their legacy behavior does not create unnecessary slice requests, e.g., for slices that are not available in a given cell. These systems and methods may allow new UEs to be configured with information for allowed slices that are not uniformly available, and that the UE may access upon detection of information expressing availability of such slices in a given cell/Tracking Area.

    摘要: Systems and methods for handling of heterogeneous support for Slice Maximum Bit Rate (S-MBR) enforcement are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method performed in a core network of a cellular communications system comprises, at an Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF), obtaining information about whether a Radio Access Network (RAN) node supports S-MBR enforcement and sending, to a Session Management Function (SMF), a message that comprises an indication of whether the RAN node supports S-MBR enforcement. The method further comprises, at the SMF, sending, to a Policy and Control Function (PCF), a message that comprises an indication of whether the RAN node supports S-MBR enforcement. The method further comprises, at the PCF, making a determination of whether to apply a mechanism to enforce S-MBR for Protocol Data Unit (PDU) session of a wireless communication device on a network slice based on the received indication, and operating accordingly.

    摘要: Embodiments include methods for beam-level mobility load balancing, MLB, in a radio access network, RAN. Optionally, such methods include receiving (1810) measurement reports from a plurality of user equipment, each measurement report comprising radio measurements related to a source beam associated with a source node and target beams associated with one or more target nodes. Such methods include exchanging (1820) beam-level load information with the target nodes and, based on the beam-level load information and (optionally) the reports, selecting (1830) one or more target beams, associated with a particular target node, for MLB operations with the source beam. Such methods include transmitting (1840), to the particular target node, a request including one or more handover offsets to be applied during MLB operations between a group of source beams associated with the source node, including the source beam, and a group of target beams associated with the particular target node, including the selected target beams.
