    Abstract: A BS generates a test configuration of wireless signals for testing the BS for compliance with one or more criteria. The BS supports NB-IoT signals and NR signals, and is configured to support multiple carriers and to support operation within an RF bandwidth. The test configuration includes: a NB-IoT test signal placed as an outermost carrier at one or both edges of the RF bandwidth but not within a new radio minimum guard band, wherein for NB-IoT operation in new radio in-band, the NB-IoT test signal is placed as an outermost resource block within a NR transmission bandwidth configuration plus 15 kHz at an edge but not within the NR minimum guard band; and further test signal(s), comprising NR signals, in the RF bandwidth. The BS transmits the test configuration of wireless signals.

    Abstract: A method may include determining, by a base station, a switching occasion during which at least one connected user equipment will be in a connected off cycle and at least one idle user equipment will be in an idle off cycle, instructing the at least one connected user equipment and at least one idle user equipment to switch, during the switching occasion, from communicating with the base station via a source carrier frequency to communicating with the base station via a target carrier frequency, and switching, during the switching occasion, from communicating with the at least one connected user equipment and the at least one idle user equipment via the source carrier frequency to communicating with the at least one connected user equipment and the at least one idle user equipment via the target carrier frequency.

    Abstract: Various communication systems may benefit from an improved signaling protocol. For example, communication systems may benefit from an improved network support for a narrowband internet of things in a hosting long term evolution carrier. A method, in certain embodiments, includes shifting a frequency of a downlink long term evolution channel by a pre-determined amount. The shift causes a duplex distance between the downlink long term evolution channel and an uplink long term evolution channel to change. The method includes blanking at least one overlapping radio resource in at least one of the uplink long term evolution channel or an uplink narrowband internet of things channel. The uplink narrowband internet of things channel and the uplink long term evolution channel at least partially overlap. In addition, the method includes receiving data on the uplink narrowband internet of things channel and an additional uplink narrowband internet of things channel at a network entity from a user equipment.
