Abstract: Where a UE moves between primary and/or secondary cells, the repeated reconfiguration of a UE at the network requires repeated signalling. Where non terrestrial networks nodes provide cells it may be possible to predict which cells a UE is likely to visit and when, based on the satellite movement. Embodiments make use of this ability to predict multiple future cells by transferring configuration information for a series of target cells in a single message, in some cases along with condition information indicating when the cell is likely to be providing radio coverage for that UE. Furthermore, to reduce signalling overhead some of the information is provided as a delta information, that is as an indication of how a previous configuration will change to provide the new configuration. A UE can apply the configuration information as the conditions become fulfilled.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to small data transmission (SDT). In the embodiments, a distributed unit (DU) of a network device determines that data for small data transmission (SDT), from a terminal device comprises data for at least one signaling radio bearer (SRB), without comprising data for a data radio bearer, DRB. The DU transmits, to a control plane (CP) of a central unit (CU) of the network device, an indication that the data for SDT is associated with the at least one SRB, and without being associated with a DRB. In this way, the SDT can be optimized.

Abstract: A PRU requests registration with a cellular network, participates in a procedure to locate the PRU within the network, and associates itself as a PRU with network element(s). A repository receives information for a PRU describing at least a position of the PRU, and stores this. In response to a request by a requesting network element for positioning information of the PRU, the repository sends at least part of the information for the PRU to the network element. A network element implementing an LMF receives, from a first network element, a request for positioning of a target UE, and selects a PRU serving the target UE. The network element receives a first location of the target UE and determines a final location of the target UE considering position information of the PRU and the first location of the target UE, and provides the final location to the first network element.

Abstract: There are provided measures for location service continuity in case of mobility procedures. Such measures, for example, comprise, at a first network entity handling connection and mobility management tasks in a mobile network, receiving a first message indicative of completion of a mobility procedure with respect to a terminal in said mobile network, determining whether there is an ongoing location service session for said terminal, and transmitting, if there is said ongoing location service session for said terminal, a second message indicative of completion of said mobility procedure with respect to said terminal towards a second network entity configured to expose a location service for said terminal.
