Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to codec bitrate adaptation. A terminal device negotiates, with a second terminal device, a first codec bitrate supported by the first terminal device for voice communicating with the second terminal device. The terminal device receives, from the second terminal device, a second codec bitrate supported by the second terminal device for voice communicating with the first terminal device. Based on the second codec bitrate, the terminal device determines a third codec bitrate supported by the first terminal device for voice communicating with the second terminal device, the third codec bitrate being less than or equal to the second codec bitrate. In this way, the unnecessary access network bitrate recommendation (ANBR) procedure may be avoided, thereby reducing the latency of codec adaptation as well as the voice packet loss in the case of bitrate increase considering the pathloss change trend in NTN system.

Abstract: Example embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a terminal device, a method, an apparatus and a computer readable storage medium for QoE continuity during an intra-5GC inter-RAT handover process. In some embodiments, a first layer of a terminal device may receive a mobility command from a source network device. The first layer may provide, to an upper second layer of the terminal device, an AT command informing the second layer to release at least one configured QoE measurement and associated RRC ID. As such, the second layer may release the at least one configured QoE measurement and associated RRC ID. Therefore, the QoE continuity may be kept in an inter-RAT handover from NR to LTE, and thus the communication between the terminal device and a target network device may be guaranteed.

Abstract: This disclosure presents solutions for a IoT/eMTC over NTN communication system of a non-terrestrial network (NTN) node and a user equipment (UE) to determine whether and how scheduling information can be sent in the resources for a HARQ feedback, when the HARQ feedback is disabled. In some example embodiments, the UE can signal a buffer size. e.g., buffer status, by encoding the HARQ feedback and scheduling request (SR) utilizing two bits to provide the fast scheduling information. The NTN node can specify to the UE a set of HARQ parameters to provide an indication of HARQ feedback status, which can be disabling or enabling of HARQ feedback, and to provide an indication of the resources for transmission of HARQ feedback when the indication of HARQ feedback status is disabling.

The method comprises: receiving, at a first device and from a second device, a configuration for determining a target offset associated with a contention resolution timer for a random access procedure; determining the target offset based on the configuration; transmitting, to the second device, a message associated with the random access procedure, the message comprising an identity of the first device for random access; and controlling a starting and termination of the contention resolution timer based on the target offset and the transmission of the message. In this way, the blind retransmission of MSG3 can be supported in the random access procedure through controlling a starting and termination of the contention resolution timer based on the transmission of the message and an offset, which is beneficial to the NTN.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a solution on data transmission in feedback disabled hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ). According to some example embodiments of the present disclosure, a terminal device determines whether data scheduled by DCI is an initial transmission or a retransmission based on a new data indicator (NDI) and a redundancy version in the DCI. In this way, the terminal device is able to determine if the incoming DCI schedules new data or retransmission after missing the previous DCI with a toggled NDI. Further it can avoid subsequent packet error arising from a DCI detection failure when HARQ feedback is disabled.

Abstract: A base station, in communication with a UE using a first serving cell, determines a need to perform a security update for the UE and sends a command including information to perform the security update and indication of a time to execute the security update to change to a new security configuration.

The UE receives the information and the indication and performs, without performing a random-access procedure, the security update to the new security configuration to use for communication with the second serving cell.
