Abstract: A method of managing configuration information for SDT operation is performed by a DU of a distributed base station. The method includes receiving, from a CU of the distributed base station, a CU-to-DU message including a full SDT configuration for a UE, generating a delta SDT configuration to update the full SDT configuration, and transmitting to the CU a DU-to-CU message that includes the delta SDT configuration.

Abstract: A method of managing configuration information for SDT operation is performed by a RAN node. The method includes transmitting to a UE, while the UE is in an RRC connected state, a first message, the first message including an SDT configuration for use by the UE when the UE operates in an RRC inactive state. The method also includes, after transmitting the first message, determining to release the SDT configuration. The method also includes, in response to the determining and while the UE is in the RRC inactive state, transmitting to the UE an RRC release message including a release indication for indicating that the UE is to release the SDT configuration.

Abstract: A method, performed by a UE, of managing time alignment includes receiving a timing advance command from a RAN, starting or restarting a first time alignment timer that indicates validity of a CG configuration when the UE is in an RRC connected state with the RAN, and then receiving a first message from the RAN. The method also includes, in response to the first message, transitioning from the RRC connected state to an RRC inactive state, stopping the first time alignment timer, and starting or restarting a second time alignment timer that indicates validity of a CG-SDT configuration when the UE is in the RRC inactive state, and then receiving a second message from the RAN. The method also includes, in response transitioning to the RRC connected state, again starting the first time alignment timer, and communicating data with the RAN.

Abstract: In a method of managing a configured grant small data transmission (CG-SDT) time alignment timer that indicates validity of a CG-SDT configuration, a user equipment (UE) receives a radio resource control (RRC) release message from a radio access network (RAN). In response to the RRC release message, the UE resets a medium access control (MAC) entity of the UE and, after resetting the MAC entity, starts the CG-SDT time alignment timer.

The method also includes, in response to the determining, (i) transitioning the UE from the RRC connected state to the RRC inactive state by transmitting a first message to the UE, (ii) stopping the first time alignment timer, and (iii) starting or restarting a second time alignment timer that indicates validity of a CG-SDT configuration when the UE is in the RRC inactive state.

A method performed by a first base station may include receiving (1202), by the first base station from a second base station, an indication of one or more candidate secondary cells to which the UE can connect, subject to a condition, to communicate in dual connectivity (DC); receiving (1204), by the first base station, subsequently to the UE connecting to a secondary cell among the one or more candidate secondary cells for which the condition is satisfied, coordination information for the secondary cell, the coordinating information being usable for coordinating usage of radio resources with the second base station while the UE communicates in DC; and applying (1206), by the first base station, the coordination information to coordinate the usage of radio resources with the second base station.

Abstract: In order to maintain the white balance ratio of the mixed white light, a pixel unit is provided, which is composed of four sub-pixels of red, green, blue, and another green colors, and these sub-pixels are composed of a red LED element, a first green LED element, a blue LED element and a second green LED element. A control element is used to control the four sub-pixels of red, first green, blue and second green correspondingly by outputting control signals through the control channels. Base on the adjustment of the current, the brightness ratio of the above three colors is still maintained at the ratio of 3:6:1 of the white balance, and the ratio of the white balance of the white light after being mixed is also maintained.

Abstract: A UE communicating in DC with an MN and an SN receives a configuration related to a C-SN and at least one condition for connecting to the C-SN, determines that a radio connection between the UE and the MN has failed, and transmits a first indication of the failed radio connection to the SN to initiate a recovery procedure. The UE also releases the configuration and/or the at least one condition, or suspending a procedure, for connecting to the C-SN\.
