Abstract

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a random access procedure. A terminal device obtains, a parameter for determining a minimum time between reception of Message 2 (Msg2) and transmission of Message 3 (Msg3) in a random access procedure between the terminal device and a network device. Then, the terminal device determines the minimum time based on the parameter. Moreover, the terminal device performs the random access procedure based on the minimum time. As a result, it is possible to control access latency and improve system access performance.

Abstract

Systems, methods, and software of performing a UE parameters update (UPU) of user equipment. In an embodiment, an AUSF receives a UPU protection request message from a UDM regarding the UE parameters update, where the UPU protection request message includes UPU information containing UPU data and a UPU header. The AUSF determines whether the user equipment supports UPU header protection in derivation of message authentication codes based on a UPU header protection indicator in the UPU protection request message. The AUSF derives a message authentication code based on the UPU header when the user equipment supports UPU header protection, and sends a UPU protection response message to the UDM that includes the message authentication code.

Abstract

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to CG operation. In one aspect, a first device receives, from a second device, a first CG configuration and a second CG configuration. The first CG configuration is associated with the second CG configuration. If the first device determines that a set of occasions associated with the first CG configuration is to be deactivated for a period of time, the first device activates the second CG configuration. In this way, fast re-activation of a CG configuration may be achieved, and communication latency may be reduced.

Abstract

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to devices, methods, apparatuses and computer readable storage media of subband configuration for subband non-overlapping full duplex (SBFD). The method comprises receiving, from a second device, an indication indicative of a start of a resource allocated for a transmission from the first device to the second device, the indication comprising an offset relative to a predetermined subband of a control resource set; and performing the transmission at least based on the indication. In this way, less bits may be used for indicating the UL subband frequency position on SBFD slots and the signalling overhead may be further reduced for both SIB and RRC.

Abstract

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to QoE report continuity with slice remapping. A terminal device obtains a QoE measurement configuration for continuity of QoE measurement reporting. The QoE measurement configuration is indicative of a first network slice scope and a second network slice scope. The first and second network slice scopes are indicative of one or more first network slices and one or more second network slices associated with the QoE measurement reporting, respectively. At least one of the one or more first network slices is to be remapped to at least one of the one or more second network slices in an event of slice remapping. Responsive to an occurrence of the event of slice remapping, the terminal device performs the QoE measurement reporting based on the QoE measurement configuration. In this way, preservation of normal QoE measurement reporting with the introduction of slice remapping may be enabled.
