    Abstract: A method of operating a terminal device (101) includes configuring a data connection (189) on a wireless link (114) between the terminal device (101) and a network (100) based on a first control signal (4001-4003) native to a first layer (255) of a transmission protocol stack (250) associated with the wireless link (114). The method also includes participating in a data communication via the data connection (189). The method also includes receiving a second control signal (205) native to a second layer (251) of the transmission protocol stack (250), the second layer (251) being arranged lower in hierarchy of the transmission protocol stack (250) than the first layer (255). The method also includes in response to receiving the second control signal (205): activating a discontinuous reception (390) for the data communication.

    Abstract: Paging for a base station (12) operating in a wireless communication system and using multiple transmit beams includes transmitting a synchronization signal burst set by a beam sweep according to a first beam pattern. The base station determines an allocation of paging resources for a second beam pattern for a paging operation according to a predetermined mapping based on the first beam pattern. The base station transmits a paging message according to the second beam pattern using paging resources determined with the predetermined mapping.

    Abstract: A solution for routing data in a radio access network RAN including a first base station (10), a second base station (20), and a logical inter-node interface (X), wherein the first base station (10) has a pending active session to a core network (110), which session is associated with a terminal (1), while the terminal is suspended from RAN connection. A method comprises detecting a resume attempt from the terminal (1) in the second base station (20); detecting an indicator, received in the second base station (20) from the terminal (1), associated with a characteristic of data to send from the terminal (1); receiving data in the second base station (20) from the terminal (1); forwarding, dependent on said indication, the received data to the first base station (10) over the logical inter-node interface (X) for transmission in the pending active session.

    Abstract: A terminal device configured to receive a radio signal from which measurements can be used to assist in determining a position of the terminal device. The terminal device detects one or more system information blocks carrying position assistance information transmitted from the infrastructure equipment and estimates the position of the terminal device by combining the identified position assistance information with the radio signal received by the position detection receiver circuitry. Furthermore the terminal device receives from the infrastructure equipment an indication of relative risk that the position assistance information will change, and in response to the indication of the relative risk that the position assistance information will change to adapt the receiving of the one or more system information blocks to receive an updated version of the position assistance information in accordance with the relative risk.
