    Abstract: Example embodiments of the present disclosure relate to devices, methods, apparatuses and computer readable storage media of extended bandwidth allocation. In example embodiments, a first device receives, from a second device, an indication of a reference bandwidth. The first device receives, from the second device, an indication of a bandwidth extended from the reference bandwidth and receives, from the second device, an indication of at least one frequency offset of a first set of narrowbands with respect to a second set of narrowbands associated with the reference bandwidth. Then, the first device determines, based on the reference bandwidth, the extended bandwidth and the at least one frequency offset, the first set of narrowbands for communication with the second device.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus to determine by a network node of a serving cell of a communication network signaling including at least one parameter indicating that page reception on a paging channel of a neighbor cell can be performed by a network device without system information acquisition by the network device; and send the signaling toward the network device. Further, a method and apparatus to receive by a network device of a communication network from a serving cell signaling including at least one parameter indicating that page reception on a neighbor cell by a network device can be performed by the network device without system information acquisition by the network device; and based on the signaling, listen for a paging message on a paging channel associated with the neighbor cell without system information acquisition.

    Abstract: In accordance with the example embodiments of the invention there is at least a method an apparatus to perform determining signaling comprising at least one wake-up signal to indicate an occurrence or a non-occurrence of a paging request associated with a next paging occasion of a network device; and sending the signaling comprising the at least one wake-up signal toward a network device in a communication network, wherein the at least one wake-up signal is to cause the network device to determine whether to leave at the next paging occasion an energy saving sleep mode to receive the paging request. Further, there is performing receiving by a network device in a communication network at least one wake-up signal to indicate an occurrence or a non-occurrence of a paging request, wherein the at least one wake-up signal is for use by the network device to determine whether to leave at its next paging occasion an energy saving sleep mode to receive the paging request.
