Abstract: A method, apparatus, and computer program product are provided. In the context of a method, the method includes identifying a scheduled transmission interval having a beginning time and an end time, based on initial scheduling information received from a network node, where the scheduled transmission interval is longer than a threshold duration for an uplink transmission by the user equipment according to initial scheduling information, where the scheduled transmission interval includes a head end portion and a tail end portion, and the tail end portion accommodates a monitoring period. The method includes transmitting respectively, to a network node, an uplink transmission corresponding to a respective subsequent scheduled transmission interval, according to subsequent scheduling information received from the network node, within the monitoring period before the end time.

Abstract: There are provided apparatuses, methods and computer program products. In accordance with an embodiment, there is disclosed a method comprising defining at least one message length related criterium comprising at least a minimum data volume threshold; determining whether transmission of a message using a small data transmission procedure in an inactive state of the user equipment is allowed; and providing the user equipment indication of the usage of the at least one message length related criterium. There is also disclosed a method comprising obtaining at least one message length related criterium comprising at least a minimum data volume threshold; preparing at least one message to a message buffer of the user equipment to be transmitted by a small data transmission procedure in an inactive state of the user equipment; comparing a length of data in the message buffer with the at least one message length related criterium; n constructing a packet from the data in the message buffer for transmission; and transmitting the packet by the small data transmission procedure if the length fulfils the at least one message length related criterium.

Abstract: A UE acquires information about a need of additional reference signals for synchronization purposes with cell(s), and sends to the cell(s), an indication that additional reference signals are needed for synchronization. The UE receives information of additional reference signal configuration to be used in the idle state or inactive state. The UE monitors for additional reference signals according to the additional reference signal configuration and uses the additional reference signals at least for synchronization purposes to synchronize with the cell(s). A cell in a wireless network sends information of additional reference signal configuration to be used by a UE while in either an idle state or an inactive state. The cell sends additional reference signals toward the UE according to the additional reference signal 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.
