    Abstract: Apparatuses and methods in a communication system, are provided. The method comprises controlling (500) communication between a first user terminal and the apparatus and the communication between a second user terminal and the apparatus, wherein the first user terminal acts as a relay by relaying data packets between the apparatus and the second user terminal; determining (502) whether the first user terminal or the transmitting end of data packets in the connection between the apparatus and the second user terminal will buffer data packets addressed to but not successfully received by the receiving end and transmitting (504) an indication regarding the determination to the first user terminal.

    Abstract: Example embodiments of the present disclosure relate to devices, methods, apparatuses and computer readable storage media of signaling reduction at handover of an IAB node. The method including sending, from a first device to a second device, a request message for a handover from the first device to the second device for a third device, the request message including a first cell configuration of the third device associated with the first device; receiving, from the second device, a response message acknowledging to the request, the response message including a resource configuration for a connection between the third device and the second device and a second cell configuration of the third device associated with the second device and sending the resource configuration to the third device. In this way, the signal overhead for the handover of an IAB node may be reduced significantly.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide methods, apparatus and computer program products for providing broadcast/multicast services. A method at least partially implemented at an application server comprises transmitting a resource request message to a first broadcast/multicast control node (BM-CN), requesting an allocation of broadcast resource for delivering a multimedia broadcast/multicast service (MBMS) user service; transmitting a further resource request message to a second BM-CN, requesting a further allocation of broadcast resource for delivering the MBMS user service; receiving a first response message from the first BM-CN and a second response message from the second BM-CN, the first response message indicating a first broadcast resource allocated by the first BM-CN for the MBMS user service, and the second response message indicating a second broadcast resource allocated by the second BM-CN for the MBMS user service; and indicating information about the second broadcast resource to the first BM-CN and/or indicating information about the first broadcast resource to the second BM-CN. Methods at the BM-CN and a RAN network node, and corresponding apparatus are also provided.

    Abstract: Disclosed is a method in a mobile network providing dual connectivity with local caching at access point. The method comprises a master access node (MeNB) and a secondary access node (SeNB). The master access node and the secondary access node exchange cache capability and cache content information based on which the master access node configures a secondary cell group bearer. Packets received at the secondary access node comprising a request for cacheable content are forwarded to the master access node for content retrieval if the content is not available at the local cache of the secondary access node. Other packets are forwarded directly to a serving gateway. The invention relates also to an apparatus, a computer program product and a non-transitory computer-readable medium.
