Abstract: Various communication systems may benefit from selectively monitoring alternative links. In certain example embodiments, an apparatus may comprise at least one processor and at least one memory including computer program code. The at least one memory and the computer program code are configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to determine that at least one obstacle has entered at least one predefined region and transmit to at least one network entity at least one indication comprising at least one predicted-power back off (P-PBO) value. The at least one memory and the computer program code are further configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to generate at least one predictive-PBO report (P-PBOR) and transmit the at least one P-PBOR to the at least one network entity.

Abstract: Various example embodiments provide a system for mitigating effects of a power back-off due to exposure of user's body to transmitted power. A user equipment (UE) may determine triggering of a power exposure event, for example a body of a user coming close enough to trigger a maximum permissible exposure (MPE) limit. The UE may then send an emergency signal including an indication of the triggered power exposure event to a base station. Various beneficial options for rapidly providing the emergency signal are disclosed. The UE and the base station may enter an emergency mode, where the UE may provide further information on its power back-off conditions. Based on the information received from the UE, the base station may determine to perform adaptation of the radio link to avoid radio link failure. Apparatuses, methods, and computer programs are disclosed.

Abstract: There is provided reduced power consumption in devices that use at least two identities for communications. A method comprises aligning (1302) a plurality of paging occasions across at least two identities of a communication device. The aligning is performed via requesting and receiving (1306) from a communication network a paging occasion for the communication device with at least two identities using at least one of the identities.

Abstract: Example embodiments relate to an apparatus, method and computer program for timing compensation, for example timing compensation in relation to timing information provided by one or more positioning reference units (PRUs). An example method may involve providing data representing a timing error associated with a first position reference unit located at a first known position, with respect to a second position reference unit located at a second known position. The method may also comprise modifying timing information received from the first position reference unit, the modifying being based on at least the first timing error.

Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for multi-link establishment for sidelink (SL) enhancement. A method may include transmitting, to a user equipment, a coordination request for communication over a plurality of beams. Beamformed reference signals may be exchanged with the user equipment identifying corresponding beams of the apparatus and the user equipment. Coordination information comprising at least one of preferred or non-preferred time-frequency-beam resources of the user equipment may be received from the user equipment including preferred or non-preferred radio resources of the user equipment and associated simultaneous links for their communication. At least one of preferred or non-preferred time-frequency-beam resources may be determined for their communication. At least two time-frequency-beam resources associated with different beams of the plurality of beams may be selected based on the at least one of determined preferred or non-preferred time-frequency-beam resources of the apparatus. Data in the selected at least two time-frequency-beam resources associated with different beams of the plurality of beams may be transmitted to the user equipment.
