    摘要: According to certain embodiments, a method performed by a wireless device includes transmitting, to a base station, a first transmission of a message, which includes user data and information to setup or resume a connection between the wireless device and the base station. DCI comprising an uplink grant indicating a plurality of transport block sizes is received from the base station. The DCI is interpreted based on previous information received in a message from the base station. One of the transport block sizes is selected for retransmission of the message. The message is retransmitted using the selected transport block size and includes either only the information to setup or resume the connection or the information to setup or resume the connection and user data. The message is retransmitted using the selected transport block size.

    摘要: A method is performed by a wireless device for performing a random access. In response to a received paging transmission, and when certain conditions are met, the wireless device randomly selects a random access resource from a plurality of available random access resources. The available random access resources may be spread in time, or in frequency, or in time and frequency. The wireless device then transmits a random access signal on the selected random access resource.

    摘要: Methods performed by wireless devices and base stations for performing GNSS-assisted measurement reporting are disclosed. A method performed by a wireless device includes: determining that a measurement reporting triggering condition has been satisfied based on at least a location of the wireless device, the location of the wireless device being determined using GNSS location measurements; determining one or more measurement quantities relating to satellite(s) for each of the plurality of surrounding cells; and reporting at least a subset of the measurement quantities. A method performed by a base station includes: signalling to a wireless device a measurement report triggering condition, the measurement reporting triggering condition being based on at least a location of the wireless device, the location of the wireless device being determined using GNSS location measurements; and receiving a measurement report from the wireless device when the measurement reporting triggering condition is satisfied.

    摘要: A method of operating a wireless device in a wireless communication network includes receiving a first reference signal at a first reception time from a first network node, receiving a second reference signal at a second reception time from a second network node, receiving a first indication of a first reference time, receiving a second indication of a second reference time, and transmitting a report to a serving network node. The indications of the first and second reference times indicate timings of frame structures of the first and second network nodes, respectively. The report is based on a first representation of a difference between the first reception time and the second reception time. The first representation is further based on the indications of the first and second reference times. Also provided are related devices and methods.
