Patent number: 11963104Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to mechanism for interactions for entering into the sleep mode. According to embodiments of the present disclosure, the network device transmits the information of go-to-sleep, GTS, to the terminal device on a lower layer (for example, the physical layer).

Patent number: 11800557Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to methods, devices and computer readable storage media for determining a transport block size (TBS) for Contention Free Random Access (CFRA) in a random access procedure. In example embodiments, a CFRA request is transmitted by a terminal device to a network device during a random access procedure. The terminal device receives a random access response to the CFRA request from the network device. The random access response indicates a TBS granted by the network device for use in transmission. Based on the granted TBS, the terminal device transmits, to the network device, a first data block with the granted TBS or a second data block to be transmitted and stored in a buffer. In this way, the data loss may be avoided, and the data transmission efficiency may be improved.Type: GrantFiled: June 21, 2018Date of Patent: October 24, 2023Assignee: NOKIA TECHNOLOGIES OYInventors: Chunli Wu, Samuli Turtinen, Benoist Sebire, Haitao Li
