    Abstract: There is provided a solution for performing packet duplication in a wireless network. According to an aspect, a method comprises: receiving, by a terminal device from a first access node, a first message comprising at least one information element indicating activation of at least one transmission leg of a first subset of transmission legs, hosted by the first access node, to deliver a duplicate of a data packet between the terminal device and the first access node, receiving, by the terminal device from a second access node, a second message comprising at least one information element indicating activation of at least one transmission leg of a second subset of transmission legs, hosted by the second access node, to deliver a duplicate of a data packet between the terminal device and the second access node, transmitting, by the terminal device, to the first access node at least one duplicate of the data packet over the at least one transmission leg indicated in the first message, and transmitting to the second access node at least one duplicate of the data packet over the at least one transmission leg indicated in the second message.

    Abstract: A method, apparatus, and a computer-readable storage medium are provided for providing optimized multi-connectivity and/or data duplication. In one example implementation, the method may include receiving, by a user equipment (UE), packet transmission pattern information from a first network node of one or more network nodes and transmitting, by the user equipment (UE), the consecutive packets using the different radio links indicated in the packet transmission pattern information. In an additional example implementation, the method may include determining, by a network node of a set of network nodes, packet transmission pattern information for a user equipment (UE). The example method may further include transmitting, by the network node, the packet transmission pattern information to the user equipment (UE). In a further additional example implementation, the method may include determining, by a network node of one or more network nodes, packet transmission pattern information of a user equipment (UE) and transmitting, by the network node, the packet transmission pattern information to another network entity. The example method may further include transmitting, by the network node, one or more packets received from the another network entity.

    Abstract: The present invention introduces a beam-based UE mobility state estimate for power saving purposes, based on monitoring the distinct beam(s) (302) detected by the UE. In other words, the number N of distinct serving beams changed by the UE within a time window T is monitored (302) against the configured threshold values. If N is below a first threshold value “Thr1”, a low/stationary mobility state is determined (303) and the UE applies a first measurement configuration (305) associated with the low/stationary mobility state. If N is between first and second threshold values “Thr1” and “Thr2”, a medium mobility state is determined (304) and the UE applies a second measurement configuration (306) associated with the medium mobility state. If N is above the second threshold value “Thr2”, a high mobility state is determined and the UE applies a third measurement configuration associated with the high mobility state.

    Abstract: Certain embodiments provide a method of updating a security. The method can include monitoring a bearer that includes first and second radio accesses according to different radio technologies between user equipment and a communications network. One or more properties of the monitored bearer can be determined. An update of a security key utilized for securing communications over at least one of the radio accesses can be triggered in response to determining that the determined properties meet at least one triggering condition capable of indicating a need for the update.

    Abstract: An apparatus which is able to communicate based on at least two communication methods, wherein each communication method is configured to communicate with access networks by using at least one subflow, acquires (S41) information from at least one of the communication methods for at least one of the subflows and provides (S42) the information to a subflow control entity at a higher layer of the apparatus. Based on the information, the subflow control entity evaluates (S43) whether a change will occur in the at least one of the subflows. In case the change is evaluated to occur in the at least one of the subflows, the subflow control entity evaluates (S44) when the change will occur, and evaluates (S45) whether the change evaluated to occur impacts a specific requirement of delivering packets by using the at least one of the subflows. In case the change is evaluated to impact the specific requirement, the subflow control entity changes (S46) usage of the subflows for delivering packets.
