    Abstract: There is provided a method in a radio communication network providing a service for a plurality of devices, the method comprising: determining a service outage probability for a device that is going to move to a sub-area of a coverage area of the network, the service outage probability associated with said sub-area; in response to determining that the service outage probability exceeds a threshold, requesting a measurement device to move to said sub-area and to perform one or more radio frequency measurements; determining whether the service outage probability exceeds another threshold based at least on the requested one or more radio frequency measurements; and triggering at least one action if the service outage probability exceeds said another threshold.

    Abstract: To efficiently use uplink resources while fulfilling latency requirements of low latency services, an access node, a resource pool allocated for contention based transmissions of low latency communication services may be used for transmissions of data services, since an access node providing the resource pool, is caused to send, in response to not being able to decode terminal device identification information from a sensed scheduling request, a stop instruction to terminal devices that are using the resource pool to transmissions of the data services. Further, the terminal device that sent the scheduling request is caused to use the resource pool for transmissions of the low latency service if a response is not received within predetermined time.

    Abstract: Various communication systems may benefit from reliable random access. For example, fifth generation (5G) wireless communication systems may benefit from a coordinated reliable random access technique based on common random access channel resources for a quality of service aware multi-connectivity link. A method can include preparing a random access message at a user equipment. The method can also include transmitting the random access message from the user equipment on a shared resource. The shared resource can include a resource, such as a random access channel, known by a plurality of access nodes or shared by a plurality of access nodes.

    Abstract: Improved systems and techniques for communication in an environment in which muting of resources is used to avoid interference between cells. If a cell, represented by a macro eNB for example, is muting resources, those resources can be made available, under appropriate conditions, to user devices, such as UEs, engaging in device to device communication. Allocation of muted resources to D2D UEs can be based on meeting of conditions, such as that the D2D UEs be outside of a specified proximity to a cell, such as a small cell, using the resources, or that the D2D UEs transmit at less than a specified power. The UEs may take measurements to determine if the conditions are met and report the measurements to their base stations, which then determine whether to allocate the muted resources and configure the UEs with resource allocation information.
