    Abstract: It is provided a method, comprising instructing a first cell to transmit a first packet data unit to a terminal on a first active bandwidth part of a first carrier of the first cell in a first frame and to instruct a second cell to transmit a second packet data unit to the terminal on a second active bandwidth part of a second carrier of the second cell in a second frame; wherein the first and second bandwidth parts have first and second bandwidth part identifiers, respectively; if the first cell is the same as the second cell: the first and second bandwidth part identifiers are different from each other, and the first and second system frame numbers are the same; and if the first cell is different from the second cell: a frequency range of the first carrier is the same as the frequency range of the second carrier.

    Abstract: There are provided measures for enabling/realizing stationarity-based UE power saving, specifically network-assisted power saving at a terminal entity based on local stationarity monitoring and autonomous power saving mode switching. Such measures exemplarily include that a terminal entity operates in a normal power mode, including performing normal radio environment related measurements (such as regular radio resource management measurements and/or cell search measurements) and monitoring a stationarity condition with a local procedure and/or equipment, switches from the normal power mode to a power saving mode, if the locally monitored stationarity condition is satisfied, and operates in the power saving mode, including performing relaxed radio environment related measurements (such as relaxed radio resource management measurements and/or cell search measurements).

    Abstract: Disclosed are two methods, the first method comprising receiving a plurality of data packets, producing a coded data packet by coding together at least two data packets, wherein at least one of the at least two data packets is comprised in the received plurality of data packets or in a coding buffer, transmitting the at least two data packets to a first subset of legs, transmitting the coded data packets to a second subset of legs, and determining if the at least two data packets are to be duplicated based on, at least partly, one or more of the following: a notification, a condition, or a first indication. The second disclosed method comprises receiving a data packet and an indication of a coding function and parameters used for coding two or more data packets, determining if the received data packet is a coded data packet and if it is, determine if one or more internal buffers comprise a minimum set of data packets for generating the coded data packet, using sequence numbers assigned to each data packet, and if the one or more internal buffers comprise the minimum set of data packets, retrieve the minimum set of data packets from the one or more internal buffers, and decoding the coded data packet using the minimum set of data packets and the coding function and parameters indicated by the indication received.

    Abstract: An apparatus may be configured to: determine an anticipated change in a transmit power of a cell, wherein the apparatus is connected to a network via the cell; perform one or more measurements related to the cell; modify the one or more measurements based, at least partially, on the anticipated change in the transmit power of the cell; and transmit a measurement report in response to the anticipated change in the transmit power of the cell, wherein the measurement report is based, at least partially, on the one or more modified measurements. An apparatus may be configured to: determine to change a transmit power to a user equipment for a first cell; transmit, to the user equipment, at least one message; initiate the change in the transmit power over a time period; and receive, from the user equipment, a measurement report in response to the at least one message.

    Abstract: In accordance with example embodiments of the invention there is a method and apparatus to perform at least: receiving from a serving cell of a communication network information comprising a first contention based random access channel configuration and a second random access channel configuration associated with at least a first service, wherein the second random access channel configuration is inactive and whose activation is associated with at least one activation timer; transmitting a first physical random access channel message using a resource of the first contention based random access channel configuration; determining a condition holds after reception of a network message and activating a resource of the second random access channel configuration based on the at least one activation timer; and based on the determining, transmitting a second physical random access channel message using a resource of the second random access channel configuration.

    Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for user equipment (UE) context duplication. In certain embodiments, when a UE may resume at a target network node within its configured radio area, a duplication of a UE context may occur at the target network node, and the target network node may allocate an additional/secondary identifier to the UE. The secondary identifier may indicate the UE's identity within the network. When configured with a secondary identifier, the UE may retain an original/primary identifier assigned by the anchor network node. The anchor network node may retain the UE context and may maintain user plane connectivity to a core network. The UE may use this primary identifier for operations within the configured radio area, whereas the secondary identifier may be used when resuming operations to a cell that is outside of the configured radio area.
