    摘要: A method, network node wireless device for inclusion of preamble group information in a random access (RA) report are disclosed. According to one aspect, a method in a network node includes receiving a report from the WD, the report comprising at least one of: a selection of one of a first preamble group and a second preamble group by the WD; an indication that at least one of a first condition and a second condition is satisfied. The method also includes configuring at least one of a first preamble group and a second preamble group based at least in part on the report received from the WD, the radio interface being configured to transmit an indication of which of the first and second preamble groups are configured.

    摘要: The disclosure relates to a method, and User Equipment, UE, for energy efficient beam selection and re-selection for camping on a cell and for accessing the cell. The method comprises performing partial intra-cell beam measurements; selecting a beam for camping on the cell based on the partial intra-cell beam measurements; detecting a need to access the cell; and upon determining not to perform additional intra-cell beam measurements for assessment of potential beam reselection, accessing the cell using the beam selected for camping on the cell; or upon determining to perform additional intra-cell beam measurements for assessment of potential beam re-selection, performing additional intra-cell beam measurements, selecting a beam for accessing the cell based on the additional intra-cell beam measurements, and accessing the cell using the beam selected for accessing the cell.

    摘要: According to some embodiments, methods are provided to operate a base station of a wireless communication network. For example, parameters may be generated that define a plurality of potential PDCCH monitoring occasions and that define a plurality of paging occasions, wherein each one of the plurality of paging occasions includes a respective subset of the plurality of potential PDCCH monitoring occasions, wherein consecutive paging occasions are spaced apart in time with at least one of the potential PDCCH monitoring occasions therebetween not being included in any of the plurality of paging occasions. The parameters are transmitted over a radio interface to a wireless device. Related methods of operating wireless devices, related base stations, and related wireless devices are also discussed.

    摘要: Source and target service nodes and methods are described, for transferring a service session for a wireless device from the source node to the target node when the wireless device is handed over from a first base station associated with the source node to a second base station associated with the target node. A first data amount indication is obtained, which indicates how much downlink data is pending at the first base station. The first base station is requested to delete some or all pending downlink data from a downlink buffer, and the source node transfer to the target node application data and a data amount indication related to a first data amount indication. The target node can then recreate the downlink buffer at the second base station by sending a first part of the application data, corresponding to the second data amount indication, to the second base station.
