Abstract: The present disclosure relates to techniques for adaptively controlling and optimizing radio configuration parameters by using a dual control algorithm. The dual control algorithm includes first and second control algorithms, each of which is executed independently whenever certain one or more trigger events occur. The first control algorithm is used for obtaining one or more User Equipment (UE) clusters and a Key Performance Indicator (KPI) requirement for each UE cluster based on UE information, while the second control algorithm is used for obtaining optimized radio configuration parameters for each UE cluster in accordance with the KPI requirement. The second control algorithm is also configured to monitor its performance and, if its performance degrades, send an associated signal to the first control algorithm. The occurrence of such a signal is among the trigger events that cause the execution of the first control algorithm.

Abstract: A method comprising receiving a first indication, from a terminal device, indicating that the terminal device is capable of supporting carrier aggregation, obtaining information regarding a battery level of the terminal device, estimating battery consumption per one carrier component, and based, at least partly, on the estimated battery consumption and information regarding the battery level, determining a number of additional carrier components to be activated for the terminal device.

Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for positioning support are provided. One method may include receiving, by a UE configured with power saving feature(s), positioning performance requirements for a positioning session. The method may also include estimating an impact of one or more power saving or reduced capability features on positioning measurements associated with the positioning session and, based on the accuracy and latency requirements and the estimated impact, determining the power saving or reduced capability features that the UE can implement while still achieving the accuracy and latency requirements for the positioning session. The method may then include signaling, to a network node, information on the determined power saving or reduced capability features that the UE can implement while still achieving the required accuracy and latency requirements for the positioning session.

Abstract: According to an aspect, there is provided an apparatus for controlling a terminal device. The apparatus monitors a current charge level of a rechargeable energy storage device of the terminal device and a current energy harvesting state of an energy harvesting device of the terminal device. When the current energy harvesting state corresponds to an energy harvesting state indicative of no energy being harvested, the apparatus causes the terminal device to operate in one of a first, second and third operating modes depending on a value of the current charge level relative to first and second thresholds. The first, second and third operating modes and the first and second thresholds are defined so that the uplink transmission functionality of the terminal device is disabled when the current charge level drops below the first threshold and the downlink transmission functionality of the terminal device is disabled when the current charge level drops below both thresholds.

Abstract: Apparatuses and methods in a communication system are disclosed. Data on error between the location of more than one user terminal and the estimated location of the more than one user terminal is obtained, the estimated location obtained utilising radio frequency fingerprinting. It is evaluated whether the error is greater than a given threshold, and if so it is determined whether the error is due to radio frequency fingerprinting or not. Based on the determination decision is made on initialising update of radio frequency fingerprinting map.
