The network behavior is controlled based on the selections and decisions of the analysis by sending requests to network components for network configuration.

Abstract: A second RAN node (2) associated with a second RAT sends a radio resource configuration of the second RAT to a radio terminal (3) via a first RAN node (1) associated with a first RAT.

When the first period is finished, the network node enables CRS operation according a second configuration different from the first configuration for a second period. The network node analyzes IE in RRC Reestablishment Request messages received from UEs during the second period.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described that may enable a user equipment (UE) to monitor a shared spectrum to receive control signaling and data transmissions associated with different transmission time intervals (TTIs).

In some cases, the base station may transmit a signaling to the UE via a reference signal, downlink control channel, or radio resource control which may indicate a change from the shortened-TTI transmission mode to a transmission mode with a TTI duration that is longer than the first, shortened TTI duration.
