    Abstract: Described are methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for bandwidth part (BWP) handling. Apparatus can receive information on limitation(s) of BWP(s) supported in a cell of the base station and inhibit a terminal from accessing the cell based on limitation(s) of the BWP(s) supported in the cell and limitation(s) of BWP(s) supported by the terminal. Apparatus can select access parameter(s) based on limitation(s) of the BWP(s) supported in the cell and limitation(s) of the BWP(s) supported by the terminal, and instruct the terminal to reselect/camp on the cell using the access parameter(s). BWP(s) supported by the terminal can include a network BWP usable for early data transmission. Apparatus can allow/inhibit cell access by terminal based on, e.g., type of access or terminal type. Apparatus can instruct base station to provide information on limitation(s) of BWP(s) provided by the base station. Each BWP can be subcarrier spacing specific.

    Abstract: It is provided a method, comprising monitoring if an information on a limitation of a network bandwidth part is received from a cell; basing a decision on the information on the limitation and a capability of a terminal to support a terminal bandwidth part if the information on the limitation is received, wherein the decision is about at least one of whether or not the terminal camps on the cell and whether or not the terminal reselects the cell; instructing the terminal on the at least one of the camping on the cell and the reselecting the cell based on the decision.

    Abstract: Various communication systems may benefit from improved network signaling. For example, certain embodiments may benefit from an improved connection between relay nodes and network entities. A method may include receiving at a user equipment part of an integrated access and backhaul node downlink information from a donor node. The downlink information may include F1 application protocol information. The method may also include forwarding the downlink information including the F1 application protocol information from the user equipment part of the integrated access and backhaul node to a radio access network part of the integrated access and backhaul node.

    Abstract: The example embodiments of the invention provide at least a method and apparatus to measure, by a user equipment, a communication quality with at least one measured cell of a communication node while the user equipment is in an idle or inactive state; upon the user equipment transitioning to a connected state, determine by the user equipment that the communication quality with the at least one measured cell is larger than a threshold; and transmit information comprising a measurement report from the user equipment to a network equipment that the at least one measured cell meets the threshold for the network equipment to signal the user equipment to configure communication with the at least one measured cell without further measurements from the user equipment. Further, a method and apparatus to receive by a network equipment information comprising a measurement report from a user equipment which is waking from an idle or inactive state and seeking access to a sewing cell communication, wherein the measurement report comprises an identification of a cell which met a communication quality threshold with the user equipment while the user equipment was in the idle or inactive state; compare the measurement report received by the network equipment from the user equipment to a predetermined threshold value, wherein based on the comparing the network equipment is caused to configure communication with the cell without further measurements from the user equipment, wherein based on the comparing the network equipment is caused to configure communication with the cell without further measurements from the user equipment; and send a signal from the network equipment to the user equipment with instructions for the user equipment to configure communication with the cell without further measurements from the user equipment.
