    Abstract: There are provided measures for enabling/realizing higher-layer beam management, e.g., beam failure detection or beam candidate detection in a higher layer such as a MAC entity. Such measures exemplarily comprise that a beam management timer is started when a (first) beam management instance indication from a lower layer is obtained, beam management is executed, wherein a beam management instance counter is incremented whenever a beam management instance indication from the lower layer is obtained and a beam management event is detected when the beam management instance counter reaches a beam management instance threshold before expiry of the beam management timer, and the beam management instance counter is reset upon expiry of the beam management timer.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to random access in a communication system. A first device receives a criterion to select a random access type for performing random access to a second device. The first device further determines whether the first device is allocated a contention-free random access resource for a certain random access type, and then performs the random access to the second device based on the determination and conditionally based on the criterion. As such, in the case where contention-free random access resource has been allocated for a certain random access type, the device can conditionally apply the criterion for selection of the random access type and can thus perform random access with improved efficiency.

    Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, and computer program products where a user equipment in a wireless communications network determines a measure of signal quality for a restricted set of beam recovery candidates, compares the measure of signal quality of contention free random access candidates reference signal in the restricted set or a subset of contention free random access candidates to a signal quality based recovery threshold, and selects the at least one candidate signal with signal quality above that threshold from a candidate beam reference signal list; where the user equipment measures a reference signal received power for contention free random access candidate beam, selects candidates above a reference signal received power threshold, determines signal quality for the selected contention free random access candidates above that threshold, and selects one candidate in response to multiple contention free random access candidates being above that threshold or the one with highest measure of signal quality.

    Abstract: Apparatuses, methods and software for configured grant operation are provided. The first apparatus comprises at least one processor; and at least one memory including computer program codes; the at least one memory and the computer program codes are configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the device at least to transmit a transport block of a HARQ process on preconfigured resources for an uplink transmission to a second apparatus while starting a first timer and a second timer for the HARQ process, wherein the first timer indicates a time period during which the transport block is able to be retransmitted, and wherein the second timer is configured to expire before the first timer; monitor a response associated with the transport block from the second apparatus; and in response to the second timer expiring before receiving the response and before expiry of the first timer, retransmit the transport block while restarting the second timer.

    Abstract: Various communication systems may benefit from an enhanced radio link control status report. A method may include determining a negative acknowledgment sequence number range. The negative acknowledgment sequence number range may include a plurality of consecutive radio link control missing sequence numbers. The method may also include determining at least one of a en negative acknowledgment end sequence number when the plurality of consecutive radio link control missing sequence numbers exceeds the negative acknowledgment sequence number range. In addition, the method may include sending a radio link control status report comprising at least one of a negative acknowledgment sequence number, the negative acknowledgment sequence number range, or the negative acknowledgment end sequence number when the plurality of consecutive radio link control missing sequence numbers exceeds the at least one negative acknowledgment sequence number range.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to determination of terminal device's identify. A terminal device determines an identity (ID) of the terminal device based on configuration status of extended Discontinuous Reception (eDRX) and current Radio Resource Control (RRC) state of the terminal device; and determines one or both of paging frame (PF) and paging occasion (PO) based on the determined ID of the terminal device. In this way, paging in the eDRX can work well in RRC idle state or RRC inactive state, and the network and the UE may be synchronized with UE's PF and PO for paging in the eDRX.

    Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for reducing latency in 5G/NR are provided. One method may include determining, by a network node, to apply selective reordering of one or more data units received at a user equipment, and indicating the decision to apply selective reordering to the user equipment. The selective reordering temporarily alters packet data convergence protocol window behaviour in the user equipment such that a packet data convergence protocol layer in the user equipment is caused to deliver, to upper layer(s), the stored data units with an associated count value that is less than the count value associated with a data unit at the user equipment and/or the stored data units with consecutively associated count values starting from the count value associated with a data unit at the user equipment.
