  • Patent number: 12323936
    Abstract: Example embodiments of the present disclosure provide a solution for handling expiry of at least one time alignment timer (TAT) of multiple timing advance groups (TAGs) associated with a serving cell. In an example method, the terminal device receives determines at least two TAGs for a serving cell, wherein the at least two TAGs comprise a primary TAG and a secondary TAG. The terminal device determines whether at least one TAT of the at least two TAGs has expired and maintain, based on determining that the at least one TAT has expired, one of the primary TAG and the secondary TAG. In this way, only a single TAG is maintained once the terminal device has single TAT/no TAT running removing ambiguities in RA procedure/UL signal transmissions. Since the network is aware of the TAT expiry, it knows behaviour of the terminal device and can act accordingly.

  • Publication number: 20250151152
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a solution on cell off indication via DCI. In particular, a group common DCI format is used to indicate an activation/deactivation of the cell off for entering network energy saving mode. DCI in the group common DCI format may include separate bits for a first indication regarding the activation/deactivation of the cell off for entering network energy saving mode and a second indication regarding the activation/deactivation of cell DTX/DRX. Alternatively, the DCI may include common bits for the first and second indications with a flag to indicate which indication. In this way, the cell off for entering network energy saving mode can be indicated more efficiently.

  • Patent number: 12294465
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to devices, methods, apparatuses and computer readable storage media of the resource selection for the transmission of a pending data unit. The method comprises in accordance with a determination that a data unit is not successfully transmitted using a resource associated with an original Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request, HARQ, process, determining a set of allowed HARQ processes for transmitting the data unit based on at least one condition; selecting a further resource associated with a target HARQ process from the set of allowed HARQ process and transmitting the data unit using the further resource to the second apparatus. In this way, a scheme for conditional HARQ switching is proposed, such that the pending MAC PDU could be retransmitted rapidly. Meanwhile, the retransmission of the pending MAC PDU may not influence other scheduled traffics.
