Abstract: Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, are provided for increasing uplink beamforming gain. In one aspect there is provided a method of identifying user equipment which makes use of the proposed new beam-sweeping random access channel procedure that enables the base station to identify the best uplink transmit beam rather than the first beam that the base station managed to detect. Related apparatus, systems, methods, and articles are also described.

Abstract: Method, apparatus and computer program product where a base station broadcasts a signal indicating that at least one time-frequency region, which is unused by a data transmission in a first radio access technology, is available for a transmission, allowing the base station to maintain support for and/or extending coverage of certain legacy user equipment. Such a transmission includes system information for a second radio access technology, wake-up signal, synchronization signal, and/or extension of the data transmission. Thereafter, the base station transmits such a transmission in the at least one time-frequency region that was indicated.

Abstract: A determination is made, for a base station that transmits on an operating frequency, whether a radiation pattern of each of one or more neighboring frequencies is correlated with a radiation pattern of the operating frequency. In response to a determination that the radiation pattern of each of the one or more neighboring frequencies is correlated with that of the operating frequency, a computation is made of a total radiated power estimate of each of the one or more neighboring frequencies by performing a beam-based directions procedure for the base station. The total radiated power estimates of each of the one or more neighboring frequencies are output.

Abstract: A method is provided including receiving, by a user equipment, a signal either before or during a paging occasion comprising an indication indicating whether the user equipment is to skip decoding of at least one subsequent channel of a plurality of subsequent channels associated with a paging message. The plurality of subsequent channels include: a first channel carrying downlink control information for the paging message, and a second channel carrying the paging message. In response to the indication indicating that the user equipment is to skip decoding of the at least one subsequent channel, skipping decoding of the at least one subsequent channel.

Abstract: Certain embodiments may relate to wireless communication systems. For example, some embodiments may relate to non-terrestrial networks (NTN). A method, in certain embodiments, may include receiving, by a user equipment (UE), at least one resynchronization message from at least one first network entity (NE). The method may also include resynchronizing, by the UE, with at least one second NE after at least one time period with at least one parameter based upon the at least one resynchronization message.
