    摘要: A first network node and method therein for handling an operation mode change of a second network node for a communication device in a wireless communication network are disclosed. The communication device is configured with multi-radio dual connectivity (MR-DC) with the first network node having a first cell group and the second network node having a second cell group. The first network node receives (913) a request from the second network node for a change of operation mode and/or a change of configuration of the second network node and determines (914) whether to accept or reject the request for the change of the operation mode and/or a change of configuration. The first network node transmits (915) to the communication device a message including a reconfiguration or command to change the second cell group configuration and/or the operation mode of the second cell group, if it is determined that the change of operation mode of the second cell group and/or change of the second cell group configuration is accepted; or transmits (917) a response to the second network node with an indication indicating a rejection reason, if it is determined to reject the request for the change of the operation mode.

    摘要: According to some embodiments, a method for use in a user equipment of performing cell reselection to a cell providing multimedia broadcast multicast service (MBMS) comprises: receiving a system information message comprising an indication of whether one or more carrier frequencies support MBMS carrier type or further enhanced MBMS (FeMBMS) carrier type; selecting, based on a capability of the user equipment and the carrier type of the one or more carrier frequencies, a carrier frequency for cell reselection; and camping on the selected carrier frequency. In particular embodiments, the system information message further comprises, for each of the one or more carrier frequencies, an indication of a percentage (e.g., 100%, 80%, etc.) of available multicast broadcast single frequency network (MBSFN) subframes in each radio frame.

    摘要: Embodiments include methods for a UE to perform mobility operations in a wireless network based on conditions related to data traffic. Such methods include receiving, from a network node, one or more conditional reconfigurations. Each includes a reconfiguration message associated with a candidate target cell and one or more execution conditions that need to be fulfilled to apply the reconfiguration message when performing a mobility operation, including at least one first execution condition related to UE data traffic and/or to one or more UE applications. Such methods include monitoring for the execution conditions in the conditional reconfigurations and based on detecting fulfillment of one or more execution conditions in a particular conditional measurement configuration, performing a mobility operation towards the candidate target cell associated with the reconfiguration message in the particular conditional measurement configuration. Other embodiments include complementary methods by a network node, as well as UEs and network nodes
