Abstract:
Provided is a handover originating base station which transmits data to a handover destination base station, for performing mobile communication terminal handover in a mobile communication system. The handover originating base station is provided with a means for transmitting data whose transmission is not confirmed by a communication terminal, with information which indicates data transmitted just before.
Abstract:
A gNB central unit (gNB-CU) includes a transmitter and a receiver. The transmitter is configured to transmit a message to a gNB distributed unit (gNB-DU). The receiver is configured to receive from the gNB-DU, in response to the message, a list indicating User Equipments (UEs) which needs to be notified by dedicated signaling of system information.
Abstract:
A radio access network (RAN) node (11) is configured to send, to another RAN node (12), first control information regarding at least one of one or more bandwidth parts (BWPs) configured in a system bandwidth. It is thus, for example, possible to contribute to inter-radio access network (RAN) node (e.g., inter-gNB) signaling enhanced to handle bandwidth parts.
Abstract:
A second RAN node (2) sends to a radio terminal (3), via a first RAN node (1), an indication of available on-demand system information that is available in a cell of the second RAN node (2). It is thus, for example, possible to enabling notifying a UE of an indication about on-demand system information available in a cell served by a secondary gNB of Inter-RAT dual connectivity between E-UTRA and NR, or available in a cell served by a target gNB of Inter-RAT handover from E-UTRA to NR.
Abstract:
A communication system is disclosed in which a base station performs Listen-Before-Talk (LBT) communication with an item of user equipment (UE) via at least one cell. When the base station of the UE detects a failure associated with the LBT communication in at least one cell, the base station transmits a signalling message to another node (e.g., a central unit, a master node, a secondary node, or a core network node), the signalling message comprising information indicating that LBT failure has been detected. The information is used by the other node in managing the LBT communication with the UE (e.g., releasing resources, deactivating cells, etc.).

Abstract:
A system is disclosed in which a base station performs an Automatic Neighbour Relation (ANR) operation in relation to a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) and obtains, from a mobile communication device (UE) or a Mobility Management Entity (MME), the Transport Network layer (TNL) address associated with a WLAN Termination node of the WLAN for establishing a connection between the base station and the WLAN Termination node.
Abstract:
A communication system is disclosed in which an NR radio access network (RAN) node identifies resources, that the NR RAN node is to use for transmissions, for protection from interference from another RAN node. The NR RAN node sends, to the other RAN node, information indicating the identified resources for protection from interference. The information indicating the identified resources comprises a list of parameters, typically including resource bitmaps, based on which the other RAN node is able to determine the resources for protection from interference.
Abstract:
In one aspect, a method performed by a base station in a Non-Public Network includes: operating a closed access group (CAG) cell; establishing a communication connection with a user equipment (UE) in the CAG cell, wherein the CAG cell is associated with a CAG having an associated CAG identifier; suspending the communication connection; receiving, from a further base station, a first message indicating that the UE has requested resumption of the communication connection in a CAG cell operated by the further base station, the first message including a CAG identifier of a CAG which the CAG cell operated by the further base station is associated with; performing CAG membership verification for the CAG identified by the CAG identifier in the first message; and sending, to the further base station, a second message indicating a result of the CAG membership verification.
Abstract:
A communication system is disclosed in which am anchor base station receives, from a core network node, downlink data for a communication device. The base station attempts (e.g. by RAN-based paging) to initiate communication with the communication device, and when the communication device does not respond to the attempt to initiate communication, the base station sends a message to the core network node, the message requesting initiation of a paging procedure for the communication device (e.g. S1-based paging).
