Abstract:
Methods and apparatuses for paging are disclosed. According to an embodiment, a paging related entity obtains first information about a probability at which each of at least one terminal device is paged at a paging occasion (PO). The paging related entity obtains second information about a first power consumption and a second power consumption spent by each of the at least one terminal device for detecting a wake up signal (WUS) and a paging message respectively. The paging related entity determines, for multiple applicable WUS to PO mapping parameters, corresponding power consumptions spent by the at least one terminal device in a paging time window (PTW), based on the first and second information. The paging related entity determines, as a target WUS to PO mapping parameter to be applied to the at least one terminal device, one of the multiple applicable WUS to PO mapping parameters corresponding to a lowest power consumption in a PTW.

A method in a network device that serves a first cell with a first RAT comprises: receiving, from a network controlling device, configuration information for a second cell operating with a second RAT different from the first RAT; and broadcasting the configuration information to a terminal device, and the configuration information is encoded according to the second RAT. Embodiments of the present disclosure may enable transmitting configuration information of a cell in an efficient way.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to methods and arrangements for performing wireless device assisted handover form a source access node to a target access node. Performed in a wireless device, the disclosure presents a method for performing wireless device assisted handover from a source access node to a target access node in a wireless network. The method comprises performing (S31) one or more mobility measurements for corresponding candidate radio links and selecting (S32), from the one or more candidate radio links, an initial target link based on the performed one or more mobility measurements. A first radio link measurement report, based on the one or more mobility measurements, identifying the initial target link, is transmitted (S33) to the source target node using a first radio link reporting mechanism whereupon communication over the initial target link is initiated (S34). A second radio link measurement report for the one or more candidate radio links and based on the same one or more mobility measurements, is transmitted (S35) on the initial target link using a second radio link measurement report different from the first radio link reporting mechanism.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to methods and arrangements for configuring radio link measurement reporting in a wireless communication system supporting a plurality of radio link reporting mechanisms. Performed in an access node, the method comprises obtaining (S21) a plurality of radio link reporting configurations, each radio link reporting configuration specifying one or more of the supported radio link reporting mechanisms and wherein at least one of the plurality of radio link reporting configurations specifies a combination of a first and a second radio link reporting mechanism being mutually different. The method further comprises selecting (S22) one radio link reporting configuration from the plurality of obtained configurations; and transmitting (S23) information about the selected radio link reporting configuration to a wireless device.
Abstract:
The present disclosure provides a method (200) in a network node. The method (200) comprises: transmitting (S210) to a terminal device access configuration information required for the terminal device to receive a first random access message from the network node; and transmitting (S220) the first random access message to the terminal device based on the access configuration information.
Abstract:
The disclosure provides methods respectively implemented in a network device and a terminal device for facilitating handover of the terminal device served by the network device to a target beam and/or network device. The method in the network device comprises transmitting information on configurations for a set of candidate target beams and/or network devices to the terminal device before the handover of the terminal device is triggered. The method further comprises transmitting a handover command to the terminal device to trigger the handover of the terminal device. The handover command contains an identifier for identifying, from the transmitted information on the configurations for the candidate target beams and/or network devices, the information on the configuration for the target beam and/or network device. The disclosure also provides a network device and a terminal device that perform the above methods respectively.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the present disclosure provide an efficient solution for control information transmission applicable in a Licensed-Assisted Access scenario. Particularly there is provided a method for control information transmission. The method is performed at a first communications device operable in both a licensed spectrum and an unlicensed spectrum. The method starts by checking whether there is a granted resource on a licensed carrier of the licensed spectrum. If there is a granted resource on the licensed carrier, then control information is transmitted via the granted resource on the licensed carrier to a second communications device that is operable in both the licensed spectrum and the unlicensed spectrum; otherwise, it is checked whether there is a granted resource on an unlicensed carrier of the unlicensed spectrum. If there is a granted resource on the unlicensed carrier, then transmission of the control information to the second communications device is attempted via the granted resource on the unlicensed carrier. Correspondingly, there is also provided an apparatus for control information transmission at a communications device operable in both a licensed spectrum and an unlicensed spectrum.
Abstract:
The disclosure relates to a DRX method with TRM limitation. In one embodiment, the DRX method comprises steps of detecting a DRX wake sub-frame to be set for a first BS at least partially overlaps with a sub-frame allocated to a second BS, and removing a collision of the DRX wake sub-frame to the sub-frame allocated to the second BS without change to the sub-frame allocated to the second BS. There is also provided a user equipment using the DRX method. By removing the collision without change to the sub-frames allocated in accordance with TDM, the user equipment may work in the DRX mode well.
