Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method performed by a UE for handling mobility information in a communications network. The UE predicts mobility information related to the UE's predicted mobility in the communications network. The UE determines whether one or multiple conditions are fulfilled for one or multiple cells. At least part of the predicted mobility information is used as input to the one or multiple conditions. The UE transmits a message to a network node when it has been determined that the one or multiple conditions are fulfilled.

Abstract: Method and system for enabling user equipment pairing for duplex communication networks based on machine learning. Based on a reinforcement learning mechanism, an uplink user equipment (UE) and a downlink UE are determined from a plurality of UEs for transmitting and receiving data at a first transmission time interval and in a first frequency channel. The base station transmits to the uplink UE a first scheduling grant and first configuration information and transmits to the downlink UE a second scheduling grant and second configuration information.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method performed by a UE (103) of a wireless communications network (100). The UE (103) predicts information related to at least one of the following failures: a failure during operation with a serving cell; and a failure accessing a neighbour cell. The UE (103) transmits a message to a network node (101). The message indicates the predicted information.

Abstract: An aspect of an embodiment provides a method for controlling channel quality monitoring in a wireless communication system that utilises beamforming, whereby a plurality of signals are transmitted from a base station to a user equipment and the quality of a received signal is measured at the user equipment for each of the plurality of signals, each of the plurality of signals being transmitted by the base station utilising a different frequency sub-band and beam pairing. The method includes: identifying plural frequency sub-band and beam pairings for which the received signal quality is correlated; and, for each frequency sub-band and beam pairing within a group of plural frequency sub-band and beam pairings for which the received signal quality is correlated, evaluating the periodicity of a received signal quality analysis process, and determining whether or not to adjust the periodicity.
