Abstract: In LTE a measurement configuration message, which instructs a terminal (10, 11, 12) on when to transmit a measurement report, is per frequency carrier dependent. A measurement object configuration for 5G/NR wireless communication is provided which is independent of carrier frequency, allowing multiple measurement objects to be configured for one particular carrier frequency. Each measurement object can be defined over a particular time duration (T1, T2, T3), frequency range, time/frequency grid, beam, and/or a particular frequency carrier (Layer 1, Layer 2) in order to satisfy various requirements on RRM measurement of NR. Thus, for a particular terminal (10, 11, 12) and a particular carrier frequency, a base station (20, 21, 22, 23) can define multiple measurement objects over different time/frequency grids.

Abstract: A buffer status reporting scheme for a terminal (10) wishing to transmit data simultaneously in multiple RATs of a wireless communication network, which enables the co-ordination of multiple base stations (12, 14) of different RATs (e.g. LTE eNB, UMTS base station, WiFi access point, etc.) with the assistance of the terminal (10) in order to achieve efficient radio resource scheduling for multi-RAT multi-flow aggregation in uplink. A radio bearer is configured for multi-RAT multi-flow aggregation by the network, and multiple logical channel IDs are assigned to this RB that may be associated with different RATs. Logical channels associated with a certain RAT (or a given set of RATs) may be grouped into one logical channel group for radio resource scheduling reason. The terminal (10) performs buffer status reporting, according to the configuration, on all involved RATs and sends reports/indications to one or more involved base stations (12.14).

Abstract: An access method of a device (10) such as an MTC device to a network (20, 30, 40) which allows the transmission of small data packets without the need to read all the System Information normally required to make an initial network access. The device (10) may notify the network that an access request is occurring from a device that was either specifically allowed to use a stored access configuration or is accessing the cell using modified system information being broadcast by the cell. Such notification may be implicit in the characteristics (choice of preamble, timing, frequency and/or repetition) of the access request. The network, preferably having knowledge of the method being used by the device to access the network, can either reject this access or accept it depending on whether the access was from a stored configuration or read from System Information.
