    Abstract: Communication is implemented between at least one access node of a wireless network and a terminal attached to the wireless network. The communication is on at least one narrowband carrier (311-1, 311-2) comprising resources (308) in a first spectrum (301) and operating according to a first radio access technology, e.g., Narrowband Internet of Things, NB-IoT. The first spectrum (301) is arranged at least partly within a second spectrum (302) on which communication between the at least one access node and a second terminal is executed on a wideband carrier (312). The wideband carrier (312) comprises resources (308) in the second spectrum (302) and operates according to a second radio access technology different to the first radio access technology, e.g., Machine-Type Communication, MTC, or evolved UMTS radio access, E-UTRA. In some examples, the first spectrum (301) and the second spectrum (302) both may comprise a shared spectrum.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a communication device and to a method arranged to execute at least one positioning function in a communication network. According to the present invention, a positioning function execution time is determined, at which a transmission medium will be used for executing position transmissions, according to a positioning function execution time information. Further, the at least one positioning function is executed at the determined positioning function execution time by executing the at least one positioning function transmission via the transmission medium. The present invention relates also to a correspondingly arranged computer program product and to a correspondingly arranged computer-readable recording medium.

    Abstract: A plurality of payload messages (502, 505, 508) is communicated on a radio link of a cellular network between a terminal (130) and an access node (112) of the cellular network. Each one of the plurality of payload messages (502, 505, 508) includes a data packet (501) encoded according to a given redundancy version (371-373). The number of the plurality of payload messages (502, 505, 508) may be dynamically and flexibly adjusted in some embodiments. Examples are given which may be applied for coverage enhancement in the Internet of Things or Machine Type Communication domain.
