A mobile terminal device may include a radio processing circuit and a baseband processing circuit adapted to interact with the radio processing circuit. The baseband processing circuit may be configured to identify one or more multicast control data notification messages available for reception during a first multicast control data window, determine whether any of the one or more multicast control data notification messages are not received during the first multicast control data window, and trigger receiving of multicast control data of a second multicast control data window when a predefined quantity of the one or more multicast control data notification messages are not received during the first multicast control data window.

A communication method and a communications device are provided. In the method, a first base station receives a first message; the first base station determines, based on the first message, whether to allocate a new RNA to a terminal in an inactive state; and the first base station allocates a new RNA to the terminal in the inactive state after determining to allocate a new RNA to the terminal in the inactive state, so as to reduce signaling overheads; and/or the first base station receives a second message; the first base station determines a communication status of the terminal in the inactive state based on the second message; and after determining that the terminal needs to change the communication status, the first base station controls the terminal to change the communication status.

Embodiments of the present application provide a method, a user equipment (UE), a base station, and a readable storage medium for transmitting a wake-up signal (WUS). The method is performed by the UE, and includes: receiving configuration information of a UE group WUS; determining the WUS corresponding to the UE group to which the UE belongs according to the configuration information of the UE group WUS; and monitoring the WUS corresponding to the UE group to which the UE belongs. The solutions of the embodiments of the present application may further reduce power consumption of the UE compared with the prior art.

A system for locating an article having a finding unit attached thereto. The finding unit has a transmitter which transmits a wireless signal continuously. Through a software application in the smartphone the wireless signal is monitored continuously when the smartphone is in range of the transmitter. If a User and his or her smartphone go beyond the range of the transmitter, the smartphone sends a notification to the smartphone's display including a GPS location of the smartphone when the smartphone most recently did not receive the wireless signal. The location provides where the article was lost. A software program is provided by which a User can send a message through the smartphone to one or more contacts for assistance. The finding unit can also have a wireless receiver to receive a wireless signal from the smartphone to activate audio and visual alarms.

Various examples and schemes pertaining to narrowband reference signal (NRS) transmission on non-anchor carriers in narrowband IoT (NB-IoT) are described. A wireless network indicates a subset of one or more paging groups of user equipment (UEs) among a plurality of UEs in an NB-IoT cell. The wireless network then transmits one or more narrowband reference signals (NRSs) in one or more paging frames or one or more paging occasions associated with the subset of one or more paging groups.
