    摘要: Method performed by a network node in communication with a first wireless device. The network node and the first wireless device operate in a wireless communications network. The network node determines whether or not a random access procedure for the first wireless device was successful. The determining is performed after the following actions in the random access procedure: a) a first Physical Downlink Control Channel, PDCCH, order indicating a non-reserved signal has been sent to the first wireless device, the signal being one of: a preamble, a tone and a subcarrier, and b) an L2/L3 message has been received after the sending of the first PDCCH order. The determining is based on verifying whether or not the L2/L3 message originated in the first wireless device.

    摘要: A user equipment is configured for use in a wireless communication system. The user equipment in particular is configured to receive from a base station one or more configuration messages that indicate a pattern of downlink transmission gaps in time. The user equipment is further configured to receive from the base station a scheduled downlink transmission that comprises a downlink data block and one or more repetitions of the downlink data block. The scheduled downlink transmission is received with downlink transmission gaps therein according to the indicated pattern. Alternatively or additionally, the user equipment is configured to transmit a scheduled uplink transmission that comprises an uplink data block and one or more repetitions of the uplink data block. In this case, the scheduled uplink transmission is transmitted with uplink transmission gaps therein according to an uplink transmission gap pattern that specifies a pattern of uplink transmission gaps in time.

    摘要: According to some embodiments, a method for use in a user equipment (UE) comprises receiving a plurality of weights for assigning paging physical resource blocks (PRBs) to a plurality of UEs. Each weight is associated with a respective paging PRB. The method further comprises determining a paging PRB for the UE using at least one weight of the plurality of weights, and receiving paging on the determined paging PRB. In particular embodiments, determining the paging PRB for the UE comprises assigning the UE to an artificial paging PRB of a set of artificial paging PRBs, and mapping the artificial paging PRB to an actual paging PRB of a set of actual paging PRBs using at least one weight of the plurality of weights. The set of actual paging PRBs includes a smaller number of paging PRBs than the set of artificial paging PRBs.

    摘要: A wireless device (14A) is configured for use in a wireless communication system (10) for performing random access. The wireless device (14A) supports random access on a non-anchor carrier. The wireless device (14A) is configured to obtain configuration information (20) that governs on which carrier within a set (16) of carriers the wireless device (14A) is to perform random access, where the set (16) of carriers includes an anchor carrier (14A) and a non-anchor carrier. The configuration information (20) may for instance indicate a probability value (20A) that is assigned to each of one or more of the carriers in the set (16). Regardless, the wireless device (14A) is configured to select, from among the carriers in the set (16), a carrier on which to perform random access, in accordance with the configuration information (20). The wireless device (14A) is also configured to perform random access on the selected carrier.
