  • Publication number: 20220256415
    Abstract: A user equipment (UE) includes at least one processor and at least one memory including computer program code. The at least one memory and the computer program code are configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the UE to obtain a conditional handover command, the conditional handover command indicating a multiple cell target for handover from a source cell and at least one performance margin, each of the at least one performance margin associated with a cell neighboring a first cell in the multiple cell target, determine whether to initiate a handover to the first cell based on the at least one performance margin, and transmit data to the first cell based on the determination of whether to initiate the handover.

  • Publication number: 20220248481
    Abstract: When there is a role switch between a first apparatus acting as a relay node towards a wireless network for one or more second apparatuses acting as remote nodes a relay context used by the first apparatus towards the wireless network is communicated to a second apparatus using sidelink communication. After that the first apparatus starts to act as a remote node and the second apparatus starts to act as a relay node using the relay context. Use of the same relay context makes the role switch transparent to the wireless network.

  • Publication number: 20220167230
    Abstract: There is provided an apparatus, said apparatus comprising means for operating using a first measurement configuration, determining that a first trigger condition related to at least a radio link failure indicator is met and in response to the determining, operating using a second measurement configuration until a second trigger condition is met, wherein operating using the second measurement configuration comprises at least one of performing measurements with a decreased periodicity, an increased number of samples and/or an increased number of reports, increasing the number of measured neighbour cells and reducing a time to trigger handover period relative to the first measurement configuration.

  • Publication number: 20220110106
    Abstract: An apparatus comprising: comprising at least a first SIM associated with a first network and a second SIM associated with the first or a second network, wherein the first SIM is configured to operate in an idle or an inactive mode of a RRC while the second SIM configured to temporarily operate in a connected mode of the RRC and vice versa; means for allocating a radio transceiver of the apparatus for a communication of the first SIM and the second SIM for alternative active periods, wherein the first SIM is configured to at least monitor paging messages during its active periods and the second SIM is configured to at least perform beam management operations during its active periods; means for monitoring a number of scheduled beam management operations of the second SIM skipped during the active periods of the radio transceiver allocated for the first SIM; means for determining, based on at least data from the performed beam management operations, a threshold value for the skipped beam management operations;

  • Publication number: 20220030549
    Abstract: There is provided reduced power consumption in devices that use at least two identities for communications. A method comprises aligning (1302) a plurality of paging occasions across at least two identities of a communication device. The aligning is performed via requesting and receiving (1306) from a communication network a paging occasion for the communication device with at least two identities using at least one of the identities.

  • Patent number: 10945175
    Abstract: In accordance with example embodiments of the invention there is at least a method and apparatus to perform at least receiving, by a network device of a communication network, information providing an indication to connect to a network node of the communication network using a Random Access Channel (RACH)-less) signaling procedure; determining that connecting to the network node using the RACH-less signaling procedure has failed; and based on the RACH-less signaling procedure failing, using at least one alternative signaling procedure for connecting to the network node using uplink (UL) resources from RACH-less procedure.
