Abstract:
For a source stream of input data where FEC scheme(s) have been used to create a repair stream, transmitting by a network node packet(s) comprising data of the source stream or the repair stream packaged as at least part of PDU(s). An ARQ or HARQ process is applied to the PDU(s). The network node receives feedback information as part of the process corresponding to the PDU(s), including positive ACK/NACK response for the PDUs. The retransmissions of the negatively acknowledged PDU(s) are controlled when the FEC scheme is known not to be able to compensate for loss(e)s of packet(s) contained in the PDU(s) indicated as being negatively acknowledged. A UE receives packet(s), determines loss(es), and, in response to a determination the FEC scheme is known to be able to recover from the loss(es), sends at least one ACK for any lost packets that correspond to the one or more loss(es).
Abstract:
Various communication systems may benefit from the appropriate control of the timing of communication. For example, certain wireless communication systems may benefit from packet data convergence protocol windows, for example in the case of split bearers being in use. A method can include transmitting a plurality of protocol data units over a bearer mapped to a plurality of logical channels. The protocol data units can be transmitted in a radio link control unacknowledged mode. The method can also include managing at least one transmission characteristic of the transmitted plurality of protocol data units.
Abstract:
Handover failure modes are identified by logging information associated with at least one of a handover failure or a radio link failure. The information identifies whether or not a user equipment was engaged in an exchange of at least one of data traffic or control traffic with a network at the time that the handover failure or radio link failure occurred. The information is stored in a non-transitory computer-readable medium, and the information is reported to the network. The information is reported using a radio link failure or connection failure information signaling message. The severity of the handover failure or radio link failure is evaluated based upon the information.

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:
According to an example embodiment, a network device is configured to: generate an indicator based on at least one of an activation status of a multicast session or a data inactivity status; and transmit the indicator to a client device, wherein the indicator indicates to the client device whether the client device should wait for a paging message for the multicast session and stop monitoring data of the multicast session while the client device is in an inactive state.
