Reference signals configured for use with extension carriers and/or carrier segments are described. Reference signals for extension carriers and/or carrier segments may include demodulation reference signals (e.g., user equipment-specific reference signals), cell-specific reference signals, and channel-state information reference signals. Methods, systems and apparatuses for configuring extension carriers and/or carrier segments with one or more of the reference signals (e.g., positioning one or more reference signal symbols in extension carriers and/or carrier segments) are described.

Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, are provided for UE capability signaling. An apparatus is provided that is caused to at least: receive, from a user equipment capability management function, a message including a first restart counter value indicating a restart of the user equipment capability management function; inhibit, in response to receiving the first restart counter value, one or more old user equipment capability identifiers associated with a second restart counter value, the second restart counter value being associated to a pre-restart state of the user equipment capability management function; and send the first restart counter value indicating the restart of the user equipment capability management function. Related systems, methods, and articles of manufacture are also described.

Techniques are disclosed for performing operations in a distributed computing environment comprising a plurality of computing devices implementing a Kubernetes environment. An indication is received of one or more custom resources of the Kubernetes environment. The custom resources are grouped into a commit set. The commit set is defined as an atomic unit which either succeeds or fails atomically. It is determined that at least one of the custom resources has failed to complete. In response to the determination, the custom resources of the commit set are reverted to a previous consistent state.
