Abstract:
An apparatus comprising at least one processor, and at least one memory including computer program code, wherein the at least one memory and the computer program code are configured, with the at least one processor, to: in response to a determination of a failure of one or more communication beams between the apparatus and a second apparatus, initiate a beam recovery procedure by transmitting a message to a third apparatus, the message comprising information of the failure of one or more communication beams; start a timer in response to the transmitting a message to the third apparatus; and determine whether a beam failure acknowledgement is received from the third apparatus before the timer expires.
Abstract:
An apparatus comprises means for determining that there is data to be transmitted to a base station while the apparatus is configured such that a downlink channel which provides scheduling information is not being monitored for a period of time, and determining based on the data to be transmitted if the apparatus is to continue not monitoring the downlink channel for the period time or if the downlink channel is to be monitored before an end of the period of time.
Abstract:
An apparatus comprises at least one processor and at least one memory including computer program code, the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to: responsive to deactivation of all of a plurality of active cells associated with a duplicate link, cause said duplicate link to be deactivated.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a method for confirming uplink semi-persistent scheduling deactivation and a terminal device. In example embodiments, an indication of uplink semi-persistent scheduling deactivation is received from a base station while the terminal device stores data available for uplink transmission. Then, confirmation of the deactivation is sent to the base station. Such confirmation of the deactivation may notify the base station that the terminal device has received the indication of the uplink semi-persistent scheduling deactivation and further that the uplink semi-persistent scheduling will be deactivated at the terminal device.
Abstract:
In accordance with an example embodiment of the present invention, a method, including determining, by a user equipment, whether the user equipment is scheduled in one or more time frequency resources of a first transmission time interval or in one or more time frequency resources of a second transmission time interval, where the second transmission time interval is shorter than the first transmission time interval; and based on the determining, adjusting the monitoring of scheduling opportunities within a duration of the first transmission time interval, is disclosed.
Abstract:
A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided to receive, at a user equipment, an indication providing a cell location to which the user equipment, operating in a dual connectivity mode, should transmit a buffer status report for one or more bearers, the cell location being one of a first location, a second location, or a first location and second location and in response to being triggered, causing buffer status report to be transmitted to the location provided in the indication. In some embodiments, the bearer may be a split bearer. In some embodiments, the indication may be provided by RRC signaling, MAC signaling or physical layer signaling.
Abstract:
Disclosed are devices, methods, and computer programs for facilitating the limited logical channel identification (LCID) space. A terminal device in a communication network may comprise at least one processor and at least one memory having computer program code stored thereon and configured, with the at least one processor, cause the terminal device to perform: receiving, from a network device, a mapping configuration of at least one Logical Channel Identification (LCID) value and/or at least one extended LCID (eLCID) value configured by the network device for at least one Media Access Control (MAC) Control Element (CE), wherein the mapping configuration specifies an association between the at least one MAC CE is associated with the at least one Logical Channel Identification (LCID) value and/or the at least one extended LCID (eLCID) value.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to for conditionally skipping monitoring of downlink control channel in random access. A first apparatus receives, from a second apparatus, a command indicating the first apparatus to skip monitoring a downlink control channel between the second apparatus and the first apparatus for a time period. The first apparatus initiates an RA procedure towards the second apparatus. The time period at least partially overlaps with a time window associated with the RA procedure and an end of the time period is after an end of the time window. The first apparatus determines whether the RA procedure is successfully completed or contention resolution for the RA procedure is successful. Based on the determination, the first apparatus ignores or performs the command after the end of the time window.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a first cell activation when the cell discontinuous transmission (DTX)/discontinuous reception (DRX) is applied. In particular, a network device transmits a configuration of cell DTX and/or a configuration of cell DRX for a first cell to a terminal device. The network device also transmits an activation indication for the first cell. The terminal device monitors a set of reference signals from the network device during an activation procedure of the first cell. The terminal device further transmits a report that is based on a measurement on the set of reference signals to a cell that is a special cell or a physical uplink control channel cell. In this way, it can reduce the latency of the activation of the first cell.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to devices, methods, apparatuses and computer-readable storage medium for controlling DCCH based non-Small Data Transmission (SDT) data arrival. In some example embodiments, a terminal device transmits an indication an availability of non-Small Data Transmission (SDT) data to a network device during a SDT procedure. The terminal device monitors for a response to the indication, and performs an action comprising in response to absence of the response to the indication of the non-SDT data. The action comprises: entering an idle or inactive state and/or initiating a connection setup or resume request to the network device.
