Abstract: Various techniques are provided for a method including receiving, at a network device from a user equipment (UE), an indication of a UE capability to support a per-band maximum power for a radio band combination (BC) used by the UE, determining whether the UE supports per-band maximum power for the radio BC based on the indication of the UE capability, and in response to determining the UE supports per-band maximum power for the radio BC, determining a total UE transmission power based on a sum of a maximum power of each band in the radio BC.

Abstract: A control apparatus configured to allow a communication device supporting a first frequency setting to enter a system providing a communications facility based on a second frequency setting, wherein the first frequency setting provides only a partial support for communications in the system is disclosed. The control apparatus may be co-operative with a second control apparatus. The second control apparatus is configured to determine based on frequency setting information received from the system if it is possible to transmit to the system based on the first frequency setting supported by the communication device.

Abstract: In a system, apparatus, method, and non-transitory computer readable medium for implementing dynamic uplink (UL) gaps for maximum permissible exposure (MPE) detection, a user equipment (UE) device include a wireless antenna array, a memory storing computer readable instructions and a UL gap configuration, and processing circuitry configured to execute the computer readable instructions to cause the device to, determine estimated distance information between a user and the device using the wireless antenna array during at least one first scheduled UL gap of the UL gap scheduling in accordance with the UE maximum transmission power limit, the UL gap scheduling based on a default UL gap periodicity value and a default UL gap duration value, transmit a MPE-related message to the node based on the estimated distance information and a desired MPE threshold, and adjust the UL gap configuration based on the transmitted MPE-related message.

Abstract: There is provided method comprising: transmitting by a first entity a first carrier signal of a plurality of carrier signals, the first carrier signal being centered at a first frequency offset from a first channel raster point by an amount which is greater than 0 and less than a first threshold, wherein a second carrier signal is adjacent the first carrier signal and centered at a second frequency at or within a second threshold of a second channel raster, both the first carrier signal and the second carrier signal comprising a plurality of subcarriers of a defined bandwidth, and the first frequency and the second frequency differ by an amount substantially equal to a multiple of the defined bandwidth.

Abstract: A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided in which the network is informed of a connection break with a device having multiple SIMs. In this regard, from the perspective of the device, information regarding a connection break with the device is provided to a network entity associated with a first network, the device communicating with the first network via a first subscription. The method may also cause the connection break to be initiated and causing another connection to be established with the device via a second subscription. From the perspective of the network, a method, apparatus and computer program product are provided in which the network receives information regarding the connection break and, based on the information, performs one or more network optimization actions.
