Abstract: The application relates to beam management for a client device in a power saving state. When the client device is in the power saving state, the client device monitors serving beams of a network access node based on a serving beam configuration. The serving beam configuration indicated the serving beams to be monitored by the client device in the power saving state. If the client device detects a beam failure during the serving beam monitoring in the power saving state, the client device performs a beam reconfiguration procedure. The beam reconfiguration procedure informs the network access node about the change in serving beam status and allows the network access node to update the serving beam configuration.

Abstract: This application provides a client device, a method, and a computer program. The client device obtains a first parameter associated with a radio link failure timer. The first parameter indicates a first time period during which the radio link failure timer is reset and thereafter started. The client device further obtains a second parameter associated with the radio link failure timer. The second parameter indicates a second time period during which the radio link failure timer is started and thereafter reset. Based on the first parameter and the second parameter, the client device determines a value of the radio link failure timer.

Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure relate to a coordinator network node and one or more network access nodes interworking in a wireless communication system. The coordinator network node determines a joint resource allocation area (?UE) based on measurement messages from network access nodes. The determined joint resource allocation area (?UE) is thereafter transmitted to the network access nodes. Thereby, the coordinator network node enables to determine the portion of the first or the second service areas that are free from interference from neighbouring network access nodes where each network access node can perform resource allocations independently. It further enables to determine/identify the joint resource allocation area where neighbouring network access nodes significantly interfere each other. Therefore, e.g. resource allocation in the system can be improved. Furthermore, the disclosure also relates to corresponding methods and a computer program.
