    摘要: There is provided a method, computer program, and apparatus for causing an apparatus for a first access node to perform: establishing a connection towards a user equipment via a serving cell supported by the first access node; instructing the user equipment to obtain a first timing advance value for a target cell supported by a second access node, wherein the first timing advance value indicates a timing for transmitting uplink transmissions to the target cell; receiving, from the second access node, an indication that the first timing advance value is or will soon be invalid; and determining whether to instruct the user equipment to obtain a second timing advance value for the target cell in dependence on the received indication, the second timing advance value being obtained later in time than the first timing advance value.

    摘要: There is provided a method, computer program, and for an apparatus for causing an apparatus for a user equipment to perform: receiving, a first timing advance value for a target cell supported by a second access node, wherein the first timing advance value indicates a timing for transmitting uplink transmissions to the target cell; receiving, an indication of when the first timing advance value will be invalid; using the indication of when the first timing advance value will be invalid to determine that the first timing advance value is or will soon be invalid; and determining whether to autonomously initiate obtaining a second timing advance value for the target cell in dependence on the determination of whether the first timing advance value is or will soon be invalid, the second timing advance value being obtained later in time than the first timing advance value.

    摘要: Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for a synchronization signal block beam sweep enabled smart meter. A method may include receiving information on an allocation of a plurality of synchronization signal blocks from a network element. One or more synchronization signal blocks may be received from the network element. The one or more synchronization signal blocks may be configured with corresponding random access channel opportunities. The one or more synchronization signal blocks may be repeated in specific angular directions. A correct synchronization signal block beam may be configured at a correct time based on the random access channel opportunities. An indication may be received from the network element of which user equipment within a sector of a repeater element has connected on which random access channel opportunities.
