    摘要: An apparatus and method for data transmission are presented. The method in a base station comprises broadcasting (200) information on one or more neighboring cells supporting preconfigured uplink resources and information on request types supported by the one or more cells; receiving (202) a user terminal which performs a cell reselection to the base station; receiving (204) from a user terminal a request to utilize dedicated preconfigured uplink resources, the request comprising Physical Cell Identity of the previous base station with which the user terminal utilized dedicated preconfigured uplink resources prior camping on the base station and the User Equipment Identification of the user terminal in the previous base station; transmitting (206) to the previous base station a message requesting configuration data related to dedicated preconfigured uplink resources of the user terminal and an indication that the previous base station may release the resources; receiving (208) from the previous base station the configuration data; and restoring (210) dedicated preconfigured uplink resources for the user terminal.

    摘要: Apparatuses and methods in a communication system are provided. User equipment maintains (300) a primary capability to be used when one subscription identity of the user equipment is active and a secondary capability to be used when more than one subscription identity of the user equipment is active and transmits (302), based on Radio Resource Connection status of one or more subscription identities of the user equipment, to a Radio Access Network node the user equipment is connected to, an indication as to which capability selected from the primary or secondary capability is to be used.

    摘要: Methods, apparatuses, and computer program products are disclosed for contention based shared preconfigured uplink resource configuration. An example method includes receiving an assignment of contention based shared preconfigured uplink resources; receiving an assignment of a common radio network temporary identifier for monitoring downlink control information indicating a negative acknowledgement for contention based shared transmission, and a dedicated radio network temporary identifier for monitoring downlink control information indicating an acknowledgement of transmission of uplink data; transmitting the uplink data using a physical uplink shared channel allocated for the contention based shared preconfigured uplink resource transmission; in response to the downlink control information indicating the negative acknowledgement and uplink grants for multiple physical uplink shared channel resources, retransmitting the uplink data on a selected one of the received uplink grants; and in response to the downlink control information indicating the acknowledgment, not retransmitting the uplink data.

    摘要: Various communication systems may benefit from improved random access procedures. For example, it may be helpful to improve random access procedure when a network entity does not have any downlink data to transmit. A method, according to certain embodiments, may include receiving at a network entity from a user equipment a short contention resolution identifier. The method may also include transmitting from the network entity to the user equipment downlink control information comprising at least the short contention resolution identifier on a physical downlink control channel.

    摘要: 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.
