Abstract: Methods and apparatus are described for carrying out timing adjustments in a wireless communications network. The approach includes a user equipment (UE) that includes processor circuitry and a radio front end circuitry. The processor circuitry is configured to obtain a timing advance value for the wireless communication with a satellite base station, and to determine a transmission time for transmission of a random access channel (RACH) preamble based on the timing advance value. The radio front end circuitry transmits the random access preamble at the transmission time. Finally, the processor circuitry is further configured to receive a response to the transmitted random access preamble.

Abstract: Technology for user equipment (UE) and evolved NobeB (eNB) to support enhanced coverage is disclosed. If both the UE and eNodeB provide support for a first and second coverage enhancement (CE) mode, one or more timers of the UE, eNB and a core network (CN) can 5 be configured according to an extended timer range. However, if either the UE or the eNB does not provide support for both the first and second CE modes, the one or more timers of the UE, eNB and CN are configured according to a legacy timer range.

Abstract: Embodiments of a next generation Node-B (gNB), User Equipment (UE) and methods for communication are generally described herein. A gNB may be configurable to operate as a master gNB (MgNB). The MgNB may transmit radio-resource control (RRC) signaling to provide information for dual connectivity to allow the UE to utilize radio resources of both a master cell group (MCG) associated with the MgNB and a secondary cell group (SCG) associated with a secondary gNB (SgNB). The MgNB may transmit, to the SgNB, an SgNB release request message that indicates a partial suspension of the dual connectivity, wherein: a first portion of a configuration for the SCG is to be maintained and a second portion of the configuration for the SCG is to be released.

Abstract: A network device (e.g., a user equipment (UE), a new radio NB (gNB), or other network component) can process or generate a one-step paging reception or a two-step paging reception based on being in a sub-state of an idle mode. A UE can enter into an idle state to enable a decreased power consumption of battery, and further reduce power consumption by only monitoring a PDCCH in response to operating in a camped on any cell state, and eliminate processing a paging message when in the camped on any cell state.
