    摘要: A wireless device operates with dual connectivity to a Master node and a Secondary node, which are both New Radio, NR, nodes. It receives measurement and/or reporting configuration information from a network. It determines whether the received 5 configuration information relates to a MCG or a SCG. Specifically, it is determined that the received configuration information relates to the MCG if the configuration information is received directly within an RRCReconfiguration message received via SRB1, or that the received configuration information relates to the SCG if the configuration information is received directly within an RRCReconfiguration message 0 received via SRB3, or alternatively if the configuration information is received in an RRCReconfiguration message that is embedded within an RRCReconfiguration message received via SRB1.

    摘要: A network node may be operated to support dual connectivity communication with a wireless terminal as a main network node in cooperation with a secondary network node. Dual connectivity communication with the wireless terminal may be provided in cooperation with the secondary network node. Responsive to deciding to suspend the dual connectivity communication with the wireless terminal, a connection release message may be transmitted to the wireless terminal, a suspension indication message may be transmitted to the secondary network node, and the dual connectivity communication with the wireless terminal may be suspended. While the dual connectivity communication is suspended, a page may be transmitted to the wireless terminal indicating arrival of downlink data for the wireless terminal and then a measurement report may be received from the wireless terminal providing radio link measurement information for radio links with the main network node and/or the secondary network node.

    摘要: This disclosure provides mechanisms for User Equipment, UE, capability signaling and coordination for Long Term Evolution (LTE) and New Radio (NR) tight-interworking without increasing the complexity of LTE capability reporting. This disclosure proposes a capability signaling and coordination framework in order to coordinate at least band combinations and Layer 2 buffer capabilities across the master and the secondary nodes which are of different Radio Access Technologies (RATs), such as LTE and NR.

    摘要: Systems and methods for triggering measurements before the completion of connection resumption are provided. In some embodiments, a method performed by a wireless device for performing measurements where a current Radio Resource Control (RRC) status is: IDLE or INACTIVE. The method includes monitoring for a potential reception of a downlink message in a cell that the wireless device is camping on; detecting, based upon the reception of the downlink message, information regarding performing measurements; performing measurements based on the information regarding performing the measurements; and reporting the measurement results. In some embodiments, the message is a paging message or a message multiplexed with the paging message. In this way, latency might be reduced to start performing measurements. This early availability of measurements at the target cell might increase the speed at which the wireless device acquires wireless connections such as Carrier Aggregation (CA) or Dual Connectivity (DC) connections.

    摘要: A method for dynamic link selection that comprises providing at least two wireless links between one or more network nodes and a wireless device. The at least two wireless links associated with at least two different radio access technologies. The method additionally includes obtaining control data to be sent to a first network node of the one or more network nodes. The control data is associated with a first radio access technology. The method additionally includes selecting one or more wireless links from among the at least two wireless links. The one or more links selected based on a first selection parameter. The one or more selected wireless links are to be used for the transmission of the control data to the first network node. The one or more selected wireless links comprise at least a first wireless link associated with a second radio access technology. The method further includes transmitting the control data associated with the first radio access technology to the first network node via at least the first wireless link associated with the second radio access technology. The method also includes obtaining the control data at the first network node and determining whether the received control data is duplicated control data.

    摘要: According to an aspect, a wireless device is configured to selectively operate in one of two or more previously configured bandwidth parts, BWPs, each BWP being a different subset of an available bandwidth for uplink and/or downlink operation. The wireless device receives (802) an indication to switch from use of a first BWP to a second BWP, and after switching to use of the second BWP, applies (804) a predetermined default configuration, corresponding to the second BWP, to one or more physical layer parameters and/or procedures.
