Abstract:
There is provided a method in a node in a first access network, the method comprising sending (710) a first set of thresholds and/or conditions to a terminal, the first set of thresholds and/or conditions defining situations in which (a) the terminal should send a measurement report to the first access network with respect to a second access network, or (b) the terminal should connect to the second access network and/or steer at least some traffic to the second access network; and sending (720) a second set of thresholds and/or conditions to the terminal, the second set of thresholds and/or conditions defining situations in which, (c) the terminal should send a measurement report to the first access network regarding at least the second access network or (d) the terminal should disconnect from the second access network and/or connect to the first access network and/or steer at least some traffic to the first access network.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus in a fifth-generation wireless communications, including an example method, in a wireless device, that includes receiving a downlink signal comprising an uplink access configuration index, using the uplink access configuration index to identify an uplink access configuration from among a predetermined plurality of uplink access configurations, and transmitting to the wireless communications network according to the identified uplink access configuration (18210). The example method further includes, in the same wireless device, receiving, in a first subframe, a first Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplexing, OFDM transmission formatted according to a first numerology and receiving, in a second subframe, a second OFDM transmission formatted according to a second numerology, the second numerology differing from the first numerology (18220). Variants of this method, corresponding apparatuses, and corresponding network-side methods and apparatuses are also disclosed. (Figure 8)

Abstract:
Methods performed by a wireless device, such as a user equipment, operating in a dormant mode comprise performing a measurement on each of a plurality of resources from a predetermined set of resources or demodulating and decoding information from each of a plurality of resources from a predetermined set of resources, such as a set of beams. The methods further include evaluating the measurement or the demodulated and decoded information for each of the plurality of resources against a predetermined criterion, and then discontinuing the performing and evaluating of measurements, or discontinuing the demodulating and decoding and evaluation of information, in response to determining that the predetermined criterion is met, such that one or more resources in the predetermined set of resources are neither measured nor demodulated and decoded. The methods further comprise deactivating receiver circuitry, further in response to determining that the predetermined criterion is met. The method further comprises receiving, in a first downlink subframe, a first Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplexing transmission formatted according to a first numerology and receiving, in a second downlink subframe, a second OFDM transmission formatted according to a second numerology, the second numerology differing from the first numerology.
Abstract:
The present disclosure generally relates to the field of Radio Resource Control, RRC. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to techniques of supporting and initiating RRC connection establishment in a wireless communication network. A method embodiment relates to supporting RRC connection establishment in a wireless communication network and comprises setting up context information during a first RRC connection establishment procedure to establish a first RRC connection towards a radio access network element (200) of the wireless communication network implementing a first Radio Access Technology, RAT. The context information is associated with a wireless communication device (100) of the wireless communication network and is usable for a second RRC connection establishment procedure to establish a second RRC connection towards a radio access network element of the wireless communication network implementing a second RAT.
