Abstract: Embodiments herein relate to a method performed by a transmitting device (120) for handling communication in a wireless communications network, wherein the transmitting device (120) comprises at least two radio link control, RLC, entities and is configured with a split bearer to a receiving device (100). The transmitting device (120) identifies that a last transmitted protocol data unit, PDU, of one of the at least two RLC entities, is lacking a poll indicator requesting a status of one or more transmitted PDUs. When identifying that the last transmitted PDU lacks the poll indicator, the transmitting device transmits to the receiving device (100), a PDU comprising a poll indicator.

Abstract: A method and device for managing establishment of a communications link between an external instrument (EI) and an implantable medical device (IMD) are provided. The method stores, in a memory in at least one of the IMD or the EI, a base scanning schedule that defines a pattern for scanning windows over a scanning state. The method enters the scanning state during which a receiver scans for advertisement notices during the scanning windows. At least a portion of the scanning windows are grouped in a first segment of the scanning state. The method stores, in the memory, a scan reset pattern for restarting the scanning state. Further, the method automatically restarts the scanning state based on the scan reset pattern to form a pseudo-scanning schedule that differs from the base scanning schedule and establishes a communication session between the IMD and the EI.

Abstract: Methods for dynamically triggering a Flow Control (FC) configuration change. The methods, which can be performed by a wireless device and/or a base station, involve determining whether there is a need to trigger the FC configuration change and triggering the FC configuration change in response to determining that the FC configuration change is needed. The FC configuration change includes switching between an FC activated state, in which FC and aggregation are enabled and Active Queue Management (AQM) is configured for a Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP) Service Data Unit (SDU) buffer, and an FC deactivated state, in which FC and aggregation are disabled and AQM is configured for a Radio Link Control (RLC) SDU buffer. By dynamically triggering the FC configuration change, it is possible to enable FC and aggregation based on traffic volume on a Radio Bearer (RB) such that the benefit of aggregation can be realized when needed.

Abstract: A method, network node, computer program, and computer program product are provided. A number of media access control, MAC, flows from the first network node that each forms a source end-point to a destination end-point is defined, wherein the first network node includes the source end-point and each destination end point node includes a second network node having one or more destination carriers. A MAC flow packet size is defined that is scaled based on carrier bandwidth where each MAC flow packet has an approximately equivalent spectrum usage and an equivalent quality of service, QoS, on a destination carrier on the second network node. A MAC flow packet is transmitted to the second network node, wherein the MAC flow packet node includes a bundle of one or more MAC sub-protocol data units, sub-PDUs.
