A communication device, computer program product, and method proactively implement a successful transmit antenna configuration to address antenna outages for multiple transmit carrier scenarios. A carrier of the communication device determines a first transmit carrier, of at least two transmit carriers of a multiple transmit carrier mode, that is identified as having priority among the at least two transmit carriers. The controller identifies one or more transmit antenna configurations in the transmit antenna configuration data that support the first transmit carrier. The carrier determining, for each transmit antenna configuration, an aggregate antenna outage metric that indicates the transmit performance for a corresponding transmit antenna configuration. The controller configures an antenna switching network and RF frontend of a communication subsystem of the communication device with a first transmit antenna configuration that has a better aggregate antenna outage metric than other antenna configurations.

The present invention relates to a 5G or pre-5G communication system for supporting higher data transmission rate compared to a beyond 4G communication system such as LTE. A method for using resources by an electronic device in a wireless mobile communication system can comprise the steps of: setting dedicated wireless access configuration for each service; detecting a first service request; and, on the basis of the setting, transmitting and receiving a signal using a dedicated wireless access configuration corresponding to the first service. The present invention is not limited to the embodiment and can pertain to other embodiments.

There is provided mechanisms for transmit time adjustment. A method is performed by a second network node. The method comprises obtaining an indication of a need for transmit time adjustment with a first network node during ongoing communication with the first network node. The method comprises providing a first notification to at least one third network node to adjust its receive timing for receiving a signal from the second network node as part of ongoing communication with the second network node. The method comprises adjusting transmit timing for transmitting a first signal to the first network node as part of the ongoing communication with the first network node and for transmitting at least one second signal to the at last one third network node as part of the ongoing communication with the at least one third network node.

A user equipment and apparatus receive from a base station, configuration information configuring the user equipment to provide assistance information indicating a preference of the user equipment to leave RRC connected state, and transmit to the base station, assistance information indicating that a preferred RRC state of the user equipment is an RRC state in which an RRC connection is suspended. A base station transmits to a user equipment, configuration information configuring the user equipment to provide assistance information indicating a preference of the user equipment to leave RRC connected state, and receives from the user equipment, assistance information indicating that a preferred RRC state of the user equipment is an RRC state in which an RRC connection is suspended.

Methods, apparatus and systems for determining a transmission resource for transmitting a wake-up signal in a wireless communication are described. In one embodiment, a method performed by a wireless communication node is disclosed. The method comprises: determining an initial transmission resource for wake-up signal (WUS) transmission; determining an updated transmission resource for WUS transmission based at least on the initial transmission resource and an offset; and transmitting, on the updated transmission resource, a WUS to at least one wireless communication device, wherein the offset is selected from a plurality of predetermined values based on a location of a paging occasion (PO) corresponding to the WUS.

Embodiments of the invention are directed to a system and method for generating and transmitting shareable electronic notification data via a hardware device network. A non-transitory wireless signal is broadcasted from a front-line unit in a network of front-line units, and a user determined to be in proximity to the front-line unit receives via the wireless signal reward data from a database. Electronic notification data is transmitted to the user device, whereafter the electronic notification data is displayed and an option to share the reward data to a secondary user is provided. Once shared, the secondary user's user device establishes a connection to the front-line unit to receive the reward data from the rewards database.

Provided are a communication control device, a communication control method, a communication device, and a communication method capable of changing priority of radio wave use.

A communication control device according to the present disclosure includes: an acquirer configured to acquire application data for changing a priority of radio wave use of a communication device from a second priority lower than a first priority to the first priority on the basis of a right to perform radio wave use with the first priority; a receiver configured to receive a frequency use notification notifying that the communication device is performing the radio wave use with the second priority; and a processor configured to update the priority of the radio wave use by the communication device from the second priority to the first priority in a case where the frequency use notification is received after the application data is acquired.

A resource indication method and a communications device are provided. The resource indication method includes: detecting a wake-up signal; and determining configuration information of a target resource based on the wake-up signal, where the target resource includes at least one of a measurement resource and a paging resource.

A communication method and a communications apparatus are disclosed to provide an implementation solution for measuring, in an idle state, a carrier. The method includes: initiating, in an idle state, measurement on one or more carriers when a volume of to-be-sent data exceeds a first threshold, or initiating measurement on one or more carriers when a paging message is received; and sending an obtained measurement result to a network device.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive, from a base station, control signaling that indicates one or more parameters pertaining to reception of paging early indications (PEIs). The UE may receive a PEI from the base station in accordance with the one or more parameters. The UE may determine, based on the PEI, whether the UE is scheduled to receive a multicast paging message from the base station in a subsequent paging occasion (PO). If the UE is scheduled to receive a multicast paging message, the UE may monitor for the multicast paging message in the subsequent PO. Otherwise, the UE may enter a low-power state during the subsequent PO, which may result in greater power savings at the UE. Aspects of the present disclosure may provide for improved multicast paging operations between the UE and the base station.
