Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described in which a narrowband device may communicate in a wireless communications network according to frequency hopping techniques. Devices using narrowband communications and frequency hopping techniques may maintain separate radio link monitoring (RLM) processes, beam failure detection (BFD) processes, beam failure recovery (BFR) processes, or combinations thereof, for multiple bandwidth parts (BWPs) or hop regions of a full channel bandwidth. Such separate processes may provide for enhanced estimates of beam failures per BWP or hop region, which may be used to enhance communications reliability.

According to an aspect, a user equipment, UE, in a suspended state in a Radio Access Network, RAN, in response to expiration of a first timer, transmits an RRCResumeRequest message. The UE receives a reject message in response to the RRCResumeRequest message. In response to the reject message, the UE starts a second timer and subsequently transmits a further RRCResumeRequest message. The further RRCResumeRequest message is received by the network during a period bounded approximately by the lesser of a duration of the second timer and a period of the periodic UE event and the greater of the duration of the second timer and the period of the periodic UE event.

The present disclosure relates to a communication method and system for converging a 5.sup.th-Generation (5G) communication system for supporting higher data rates beyond a 4.sup.th-Generation (4G) system with a technology for Internet of Things (IoT). The present disclosure may be applied to intelligent services based on the 5G communication technology and the IoT-related technology, such as smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car, connected car, health care, digital education, smart retail, security and safety services. The present disclosure provides a method for controlling a user equipment (UE) context and a UE connection, which includes: a first node obtains resume requirement information of a UE; the first node determines whether to resume the UE context, and/or, the UE connection, based on the resume requirement information of the UE. The present disclosure also provides a device for controlling UE context and UE connection.

A first base station (BS) transmitting a secondary node (SN) Addition Request message to a second BS for a communication device; receiving a SN Addition Request Acknowledge message from the second BS, wherein the SN Addition Request Acknowledge message comprises a first plurality of configurations which configure the communication device to communicate with the second BS and configure a data radio bearer (DRB) which is a SCG split bearer; transmitting a first message comprising the first plurality of configurations to the communication device, wherein the second BS communicates with the communication device according to the first plurality of configurations; receiving a second message indicating the SCG failure from the communication device; initiating a SN Modification procedure with the second BS to recover the SCG failure, or transmitting a third message configuring the DRB to be a master cell group bearer or a MCG split bearer to the communication device.

Aspects of the present disclosure include methods, apparatuses, and computer readable media for radio link failure recovery and beam failure recovery on a secondary cell group (SCG) in dormancy state. In an example, a user equipment (UE) may determine the UE has entered a dormant state with respect to the SCG of a secondary node (SN) having a primary SCG cell (PSCell). The UE may monitor the PSCell to detect a beam failure or a radio link failure while the UE is in the dormant state with respect to the SCG. The UE may transmit, to the SN, a report based on the beam failure or the radio link failure on the PSCell being detected.

An information reporting method includes: determining that a random access problem occurs; and reporting, to a base station, a bandwidth part (BWP) on which the random access problem occurs. By determining that the random access problem occurs and reporting the BWP on which the random access problem occurs to the base station, the base station may determine the BWP on which the random access problem occurs.
