Abstract: An interface between a vehicle control system and a communication system is provided. The interface comprises an input configured to receive data from at least one of the vehicle control system and the communication system. The interface comprises a conversion layer configured to translate the received data into a format that is comprehensible to the other of the vehicle control system and the communication system. The interface also comprises an output configured to output the translated data to the other of the vehicle control system and the communication system. This enables both the vehicle control system and communication system to understand the other while still retaining their individual autonomy.

Abstract: A quality of service (QoS) class indicator (QCI) structure is provided, wherein the QCI structure is arranged to control communication in a communication network and to classify data flows in the communication network, and wherein the QCI structure comprises: an identifier of a provider of an industry vertical and/or of a service in the communication network; and a QoS parameter set for the provider of the industry vertical and/or of the service. A QoS central controller is configured to manage QoS classes in the communication network according to the QCI structure. Each one of one or more QoS sub-network controllers is arranged to configure devices in a respective sub-network of the communication network according to the QCI structure.

Abstract: The invention relates to a base station, including a first and a second communication service, in a wireless communication network on the basis of a plurality of communication resources, the base station comprising: a processor configured to allocate a first physical downlink control channel associated with the first communication service to a first service-specific control region of the plurality of communication resources and a second physical downlink control channel associated with the second communication service to a second service-specific control region of the plurality of communication resources, wherein the first service-specific control region is associated with a first service-specific user data region of the plurality of communication resources and the second service-specific control region is associated with a second service-specific user data region; and a communication interface configured to transmit to a user equipment a radio frame comprising plurality of communication resources.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to user equipment (UE) (700), comprising: a transceiver (701) configured to transceive radio resource control (RRC) messages between the UE (700) and a radio access network (RAN); and a radio resource controller (702) configured to activate an operation mode of the UE (700) responsive to processing a first sequence (328) of RRC messages when a non-congestion situation is indicated by the RAN, wherein the radio resource controller (702) is configured to activate the operation mode of the UE (700) responsive to processing a second sequence (525, 625) of RRC messages when a special situation, in particular a congestion situation or a power saving situation to reduce the energy consumption, is indicated by the RAN, wherein a latency for processing the second sequence (525, 625) of RRC messages is less than a latency for processing the first sequence (328) of RRC messages.
