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.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relates to estimating downlink size for a multicast traffic. According to embodiments of the present disclosure, a first device receives downlink control information (DCI) for a multicast traffic. The first device determines field size(s) in the DCI based on one or more parameters which are associated with the field size estimation for the multicast traffic. The first device decodes the DCI based on the determined field sizes(s). In this way, the DCI can be blindly decoded correctly.

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: Disclosed are example embodiments of method and apparatus supporting narrowband system information modification indications based on synchronization raster positions. A terminal device may comprise at least one processor and at least one memory including computer program code. The at least one memory and the computer program code may be configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the terminal device to determine a first frequency position of a synchronization signal, and apply a first scheme to decode at least a part of system information received from a network, responsive to the determined first frequency position of the synchronization signal. The first frequency position is different from a second frequency position, and the first scheme is different from a second scheme which is applicable for decoding the part of the system information when the synchronization signal is at the second frequency position.

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: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to communications with preconfigured uplink resources (PUR). A method implemented at a terminal device comprises identifying a need to change a transmission configuration of the terminal device, the terminal device being in a transmission mode with a set of preconfigured uplink resources (PURs) allocated for the terminal device to transmit user data to a network device; and in response to identifying the need to change the transmission configuration, transmitting control information to the network device using a first PUR in the set of PURs, the control information comprising information relevant to the change of the transmission configuration. In this way, it is possible to enable the terminal device to save power, time, and resources by bypassing a full random access procedure when the transmission configuration is needed to be changed.
