Abstract:
Example embodiments of the invention provide at least a method and apparatus to perform at least identifying, by a user equipment of a communication network, a beam failure occurred over at least one dormant bandwidth part for communication with at least one secondary cell of the communication network; and based on the identifying, determining to report the beam failure to the communication network for beam failure recovery by the communication network.
Abstract:
An apparatus for use by a communication network control element or function configured to conduct a communication control for a communication with a communication element or function in a communication network, the apparatus comprising at least one processing circuitry, and at least one memory for storing instructions to be executed by the processing circuitry, wherein the at least one memory and the instructions are configured to, with the at least one processing circuitry, cause the apparatus at least: to prepare the communication element or function to conduct measurements for establishing a secondary connection during a random access procedure conducted for establishing a primary connection, wherein the measurements for establishing the secondary connection are to be based on a reference signal to be transmitted by at least one secondary communication network control element or function enabling the establishment of the secondary connection, to receive and process a random access related signaling from the communication element or function regarding the primary connection, to determine a timing for initiating a transmission of the reference signal by the at least one secondary communication network control element or function, and to cause transmission of the reference signal by the at least one secondary communication network control element or function on the basis of the determined timing.
Abstract:
In some example embodiments there is provided a method. The method may include determining, by a user equipment, whether at least one wireless local area network access point allows aggregation with cellular; and selecting, by the user equipment based on the determination, to couple to the at least one wireless local area network access point to enable the aggregation with cellular. Related systems, methods, and articles of manufacture are also described.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, are provided for allowing cell access. In one aspect there is provided a method, which may include determining, by a user equipment whether a cell allows a communication type, wherein the determining is based on at least one of a scheduling information included in a first type of broadcast message received by the user equipment or a receipt of a second type of broadcast message by the user equipment; and initiating, by the user equipment based on at least the determining, a connection to cell, when at least one of the scheduling information or the second type of broadcast message indicates the communication type is allowed in the cell. Related systems, articles of manufacture, and the like are also disclosed.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, are provided for use of bi-directional slots of a subframe. In some example embodiment, there may be provided an apparatus that includes at least one processor and at least one memory including computer program code, the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to at least determine a threshold indicative of downlink symbol availability in at least one bi-directional slot of a subframe and monitor for an occasion covering the at least one bi-directional slot, when the threshold indicates the availability of downlink symbols in the at least one bi-directional slot. Related systems, methods, and articles of manufacture are also described.
Abstract:
A method, apparatus and computer program product are therefore in order to enable efficient management of multiple communication channels. In this regard, the method, apparatus, and computer program product may utilize a user equipment (UE) (208), such as a mobile terminal, to communicate a plurality of networks. The UE (208) may identify that multiple communication networks are available or in use, and notify a network node (204, 206) associated with one of the networks of the communication status. In response to receiving a notification that UE (208) is communicating across an alternate channel, the network node (204, 206) may reconfigure the channel with which the network node (204, 206) communicates with the UE (208), or instruct the UE (208) to do the same.
