Abstract:
Apparatus comprising means for performing: performing self-organizing network measurements to generate self-organizing network measurement information; and in response to determining that the apparatus has user data to transmit to a base station, determining whether the self-organizing network measurement information can be accommodated in a message together with the user data.
Abstract:
Various communication systems may benefit from improved random access procedures. For example, it may be helpful to improve random access procedure when changing a coverage enhancement level. A method, according to certain embodiments, may include changing a coverage enhancement level in response to a failure of a random access procedure. The method may also include determining whether early data transmission may be initiated in the changed coverage enhancement level. In addition, the method may include building at a user equipment a protocol data unit corresponding to the changed coverage enhancement level when the early data transmission is initiated in the changed coverage enhancement level. Further, the method may include transmitting the early data from the user equipment to a network entity in the built packet data unit on the changed coverage enhanced level.
Abstract:
Various communication systems benefit from suitable allocation. For example, system for vehicle to X communication may benefit from semi-persistent resource allocation mechanisms, for example, for uplink semi-persistent scheduling. A method can include configuring at least one main semi-persistent scheduling occasion to a user equipment. The method can also include configuring at least one subsequent semi-persistent scheduling occasion to the user equipment. The at least one subsequent semi-persistent scheduling occasion can depend on usage of the at least one main semi-persistent scheduling occasion.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method for data transmission are presented. The method in a base station comprises broadcasting (200) information on one or more neighboring cells supporting preconfigured uplink resources and information on request types supported by the one or more cells; receiving (202) a user terminal which performs a cell reselection to the base station; receiving (204) from a user terminal a request to utilize dedicated preconfigured uplink resources, the request comprising Physical Cell Identity of the previous base station with which the user terminal utilized dedicated preconfigured uplink resources prior camping on the base station and the User Equipment Identification of the user terminal in the previous base station; transmitting (206) to the previous base station a message requesting configuration data related to dedicated preconfigured uplink resources of the user terminal and an indication that the previous base station may release the resources; receiving (208) from the previous base station the configuration data; and restoring (210) dedicated preconfigured uplink resources for the user terminal.

A method can comprise: learning about an associated agent's context of a connected UE and said UE's capability; deciding to put the connected UE into virtual associated state; sending to said UE a message with indication of putting said UE into said virtual associated state as well as the UE's context; and maintaining said associated agent's context of the UE.
Abstract:
A method, a corresponding apparatus, and a computer program product for dynamic charging over multiple network nodes. The method comprises collecting, at a first network node which has a first connection with a user equipment, charging information with respect to a second connection established between the user equipment and a second network node, wherein the second network node is connected with the first network node. The method also comprises combining charging information with respect to the first connection and the charging information with respect to the second connection. The method additionally comprises sending the combined charging information from the first network node to a core network entity for charging the user equipment. With the claimed inventions, the core network and wireless operators could be able to bill the services based on specific offloaded bearers considering associated QoS information, regarding to the case of multi-PLMN scenarios under network sharing.

Abstract:
Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to methods, devices and computer readable storage medium for transport block size (TBS) configuration. In example embodiments, a terminal device transmits a random access preamble to a network device. The terminal device receives a random access response from the network device. The random access response includes a resource allocated for a reference TBS. Based on the reference TBS, the terminal device determines a TBS for transmitting data to the network device. Then, the terminal device transmits the data to the network device by using the determined TBS and the allocated resource. This TBS configuration is more flexible.
Abstract:
A method includes monitoring for a radio link failure associated with a secondary cell of a secondary base station. This may be a PScell. A user device may select a second secondary cell as a target secondary cell. The user device initiates a relocation procedure with the target secondary cell.
Abstract:
Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products relating to the coexistence of a first mode and second mode of vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communications. One method includes allocating, to a user equipment (UE) operating in a first mode of V2V communication that is also configured to use resources from a shared transmit (Tx) pool of a second mode of V2V communication, a pair of resources. The first of the pair of resources may be allocated from an exclusive Tx pool for the first mode, and the second of the pair of resources may be allocated from the shared Tx pool of the second mode of V2V communication.
