Abstract: Various communication systems may benefit from appropriate configuration of available bandwidth. These and other communication systems, such as wireless communication systems, may benefit from resource indication for a larger channel bandwidth. One example is further enhanced machine type communication. A method can include determining, by a radio network node, a bandwidth for allocation to a user equipment. The allocated bandwidth can include resources in a single narrowband or a plurality of narrowbands. The method can also include indicating to the user equipment the single narrowband or the plurality of narrowbands and allocated resources in the single narrowband or the plurality of narrowbands.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to devices, methods, apparatuses and computer readable storage media of energy harvesting information supported User Equipment (UE) scheduling. The method includes reporting, to a network device in the radio network, energy harvesting capability of the terminal device indicating a first energy value (ΔEt) collected during a first time interval (Δt) and a second energy value (EAvg) averaged over a second time interval; and communicating with the network device to transmit data according to scheduling information received from the network device and determined based on the energy harvesting capability of the terminal device. In this way, the terminal device may be scheduled by the network based on its energy harvesting capability, to maintain a trade-off between harvested energy utilization and fairness in scheduling from Passive IoT UEs.

Abstract: At a UE configured with an idle-mode configuration for using a PUR, determining that data not associated with the PUR is to be transmitted or received via an RRC connection. The UE performs an initial access to a network for the radio resource control connection. The UE transitions from RRC idle mode to RRC connected mode. The UE performs one of suspending the idle-mode configuration or maintaining the idle-mode configuration, for at least a duration of the RRC connected mode. A base station received the initial access, determines the UE is configured with the idle-mode configuration for using a PUR and transitions the UE from RRC idle mode to RRC connected mode. The base station performs communication between the base station and the UE to perform action(s) to modify one or both of the idle-mode configuration or an RRC connection corresponding to the transition into the RRC connected mode.

Abstract: A UE is connected to a serving cell via an active BWP of a first BWP, and receives a message having criteria for switching from the first BWP to a second BWP. In response to at least one of the criteria being met, the UE waits until a first preconfigured time to switch from the first BWP to the second BWP, and switches the active BWP from the first BWP to the second BWP. The UE communicates with the serving cell and performs SSB measurements while using the second BWP as the active BWP. The UE switches from the second BWP to the first BWP after a second preconfigured time corresponding to a duration of time in the second BWP. The serving cell sends the message having the criteria, switches active BWPs accordingly, and communicates with the UE in the active BWPs.

Abstract: An apparatus includes at least one processor; and at least one non-transitory memory including computer program code; wherein the at least one memory and the computer program code are configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to: receive from a network a configuration of two or more uplink grants; transmit uplink data to the network during operating in a given time with one of the two or more uplink grants; and operate with a first operation following receiving an indication of triggering the first operation for the apparatus, or following the apparatus autonomously triggering the first operation; wherein operating with the first operation corresponds to at least using the one of the two or more uplink grants for uplink transmission.

Abstract: A network node links search spaces, used by a UE to monitor a control channel for control information for the UE, to an on-duration period of a DRX cycle. Resources of one or both of time-frequency resources or periodicity resources for the search spaces are modified via the linking over the on-duration period. The network node configures the UE so the user equipment implements the modified resources during the on-duration period as the user equipment searches the search spaces. A UE receives configuration, defined so the UE implements modification of resources during an on-duration period of a DRX cycle as the UE searches search spaces during the on-duration period. The resources are one or both of time-frequency resources or periodicity resources. The UE monitors the modified search spaces over the on-duration period, as the UE searches a control channel for control information.

Abstract: A UE is connected to a serving cell via an active BWP of a first BWP, and receives a message having criteria for switching from the first BWP to a second BWP. In response to at least one of the criteria being met, the UE waits until a first preconfigured time to switch from the first BWP to the second BWP, and switches the active BWP from the first BWP to the second BWP. The UE communicates with the serving cell and performs SSB measurements while using the second BWP as the active BWP. The UE switches from the second BWP to the first BWP after a second preconfigured time corresponding to a duration of time in the second BWP. The serving cell sends the message having the criteria, switches active BWPs accordingly, and communicates with the UE in the active BWPs.
