- 5G enables using, many more base stations or nodes or corresponding network devices than the LTE (a so-called small cell concept), including macro sites operating in co-operation with smaller stations and employing a variety of radio technologies depending on service needs, use cases and/or spectrum available.
- 5G mobile communications supports a wide range of use cases and related applica- tions including video streaming, augmented reality, different ways of data sharing and various forms of machine type applications (such as (massive) machine-type communications (mMTC), including vehicular safety, different sensors and real- time control.
- 5G is expected to have multiple radio interfaces, namely below 6GHz, cmWave and mmWave, and also being integradable with existing legacy radio ac- cess technologies, such as the LTE.
- Integration with the LTE may be implemented, at least in the early phase, as a system, where macro coverage is provided by the LTE and 5G radio interface access comes from small cells by aggregation to the LTE.
- 5G is planned to support both inter-RAT operability (such as LTE- 5G) and inter-RI operability (inter-radio interface operability, such as below 6GHz - cmWave, below 6GHz - cmWave - mmWave).
- inter-RAT operability such as LTE- 5G
- inter-RI operability inter-radio interface operability, such as below 6GHz - cmWave, below 6GHz - cmWave - mmWave.
- One of the concepts considered to be used in 5G networks is network slicing in which multiple independent and ded- icated virtual sub-networks (network instances) may be created within the sub- stantially same infrastructure to run services that have different requirements on latency, reliability, throughput and mobility.
- the current architecture in LTE networks is fully distributed in the ra- dio and fully centralized in the core network.
- the low latency applications and ser- vices in 5G require to bring the content close to the radio which leads to local break out and multi-access edge computing (MEC).
- MEC multi-access edge computing
- 5G enables analytics and knowledge generation to occur at the source of the data. This approach requires leveraging resources that may not be continuously connected to a network such as laptops, smartphones, tablets and sensors.
- MEC provides a distributed computing environ- ment for application and service hosting. It also has the ability to store and process content in close proximity to cellular subscribers for faster response time.
- Edge computing covers a wide range of technologies such as wireless sensor networks, mobile data acquisition, mobile signature analysis, cooperative distributed peer- to-peer ad hoc networking and processing also classifiable as local cloud/fog com- puting and grid/mesh computing, dew computing, mobile edge computing, cloud- let, distributed data storage and retrieval, autonomic self-healing networks, remote cloud services, augmented and virtual reality, data caching, Internet of Things (massive connectivity and/or latency critical), critical communications (autono- mous vehicles, traffic safety, real-time analytics, time-critical control, healthcare applications).
- technologies such as wireless sensor networks, mobile data acquisition, mobile signature analysis, cooperative distributed peer- to-peer ad hoc networking and processing also classifiable as local cloud/fog com- puting and grid/mesh computing, dew computing, mobile edge computing, cloud- let, distributed data storage and retrieval, autonomic self-healing networks, remote cloud services, augmented and virtual reality, data caching, Internet of Things (mass
- the communication system is also able to communicate with other net- works, such as a public switched telephone network or the Internet 106, or utilise services provided by them.
- the communication network may also be able to sup- port the usage of cloud services, for example at least part of core network opera- tions may be carried out as a cloud service (this is depicted in Figure 1 by "cloud" 107).
- the communication system may also comprise a central control entity, or a like, providing facilities for networks of different operators to cooperate for exam- ple in spectrum sharing.
- Edge cloud may be brought into radio access network (RAN) by utilizing network function virtualization (NVF) and software defined networking (SDN).
- Us- ing edge cloud may mean access node operations to be carried out, at least partly, in a server, host or node operationally coupled to a remote radio head or base sta- tion comprising radio parts. It is also possible that node operations will be distrib- uted among a plurality of servers, nodes or hosts.
- Application of cloudRAN archi- tecture enables RAN real time functions being carried out at the RAN side (in a dis- tributed unit, DU 102) and non-real time functions being carried out in a central- ized manner (in a centralized unit, CU 104).
- 5G (or new radio, NR) networks are being designed to sup- port multiple hierarchies, where MEC servers can be placed between the core and the base station or nodeB (gNB). It should be appreciated that MEC can be applied in 4G networks as well.
- 5G may also utilize satellite communication to enhance or complement the coverage of 5G service, for example by providing backhauling.
- Possible use cases are providing service continuity for machine-to-machine (M2M) or Internet of Things (IoT) devices or for passengers on board of vehicles, or ensuring service availability for critical communications, and future railway/maritime /aeronautical communications.
- Satellite communication may utilise geostationary earth orbit (GEO) satellite systems, but also low earth orbit (LEO) satellite systems, in partic- ular mega-constellations (systems in which hundreds of (nano) satellites are de- ployed).
- At least one satellite 103 in the mega-constellation may cover several sat- ellite-enabled network entities that create on-ground cells.
- the on-ground cells may be created through an on-ground relay node 102 or by a gNB located on- ground or in a satellite.
- the depicted system is only an example of a part of a radio access system and in practice, the system may comprise a plurality of (e/g)NodeBs, the user device may have an access to a plu- rality of radio cells and the system may comprise also other apparatuses, such as relay nodes, for example distributed unit (DU) parts of one or more IAB nodes, or other network elements, etc. At least one of the (e/g)NodeBs or may be a Home(e/g)nodeB. Additionally, in a geographical area of a radio communication system a plurality of different kinds of radio cells as well as a plurality of radio cells may be provided.
- DU distributed unit
- Radio cells may be macro cells (or umbrella cells) which are large cells, usually having a diameter of up to tens of kilometers, or smaller cells such as micro-, femto- or picocells.
- the (e/g)NodeBs of Figure 1 may provide any kind of these cells.
- a cellular radio system may be implemented as a multilayer network including several kinds of cells. Typically, in multilayer networks, one access node provides one kind of a cell or cells, and thus a plurality of (e/g)NodeBs may be needed to provide such a network structure.
- a network which is able to use “plug-and-play" (e/g)Node Bs includes, in addition to Home (e/g)NodeBs (H(e/g)nodeBs), a home node B gate- way, or HNB-GW (not shown in Figure 1).
- HNB-GW HNB Gateway
- a HNB Gateway (HNB-GW) which is typ- ically installed within an operator’s network may aggregate traffic from a large number of HNBs back to a core network.
- Subscription identities are used to access wireless network services.
- a user device may comprise one or more subscriber identity mod- ules, a module per a subscription identity, for example.
- a universal sub- scriber identity module (USIM) is a software application residing in a hardware part, called a universal integrated circuit card.
- the universal integrated circuit card may contain multiple universal subscriber identity modules, thereby supporting multiple subscription identities.
- subscription identities may be from different network operators and/or two or more of them may be from the substantially same network operator.
- a user device configured to support mul- tiple subscription identities may use common radio network operator.
- a user device configured to support mul- tiple subscription identities may be implemented to allow one, or some, of corre- sponding multiple subscription identity entities to be in an active state, while the other/others is/are in an inactive state or in an idle state.
- the user device implementation may be based on use of common radio and baseband com- ponents shared among the multiple subscription identity entities.
- a user device configured to support multiple subscription identities is called in 5 G a multi-USIM device, or an MUSIM-device.
- Figure 2 illustrates an example of information exchange between a user device, denoted by UE in Figure 2, and an access node, denoted by gNB in Figure 2, providing radio access to a network to user devices having subscriptions, identified by subscription identities, that allow access to the network.
- UE user device
- gNB access node
- the user device UE has multiple subscription identities and corre- sponding entities, a subscription identity entity being denoted by US1M in Figure 2, and called below a subscription entity. Further, there are several timers, examples of which are given below with Figure 7, configured in the user device to run for an subscriber entity in the active state.
- a first subscription entity is in an active state, having a first connection via the access node gNB to a network corresponding with the first subscription entity, and one or more timers for the connection may be running.
- the user device, or its first subscription entity is served by the access node.
- one gap configuration is used as an example.
- two or more gap configura- tions may be determined for the user device (for the first subscription entity).
- the user device request a scheduled gap from the first connection by sending message 2-1 over the first connection to the access node.
- the gap is intended for one or more inactive or idle state subscription iden- tities (identity entities) to perform a procedure/activity that is short enough to al- low the first subscription entity to stay in the active state during the gap without leaving the first connection.
- Message 2-1 may be a MUS1M Gap Request.
- the sched- uled gap may be requested to be a periodic gap, for example for fixed time activities (procedures) for the other subscriber identities, or a non-periodic gap for non- fixed time activities (procedures).
- a non-limiting list of examples of the fixed time activities for an idle subscription entity include paging related procedures (moni- toring for paging downlink control information, receiving a paging message, re- sponding to the paging message, etc.) and receiving updated system information blocks.
- a non-limiting list of examples of the non-fixed time, flexible activities in- clude performing radio resource management measurement for cell reselection, performing mobile originated signaling (for registration, for tracking area updates, for routing area updates, for sending busy indication, etc.), and receiving an on- demand system information block.
- the access node gNB determines, in the illustrated example, in block 2-2 a gap configuration for the first subscription entity to be used during one or more gaps.
- two or more gap configurations may be determined.
- at least one gap configuration is determined in block 2-2). More precisely, at least one or more parameters defining information for processing (e.g., how to process) one or more events relating to the first subscription which remains in the active state during the gap are determined in block 2-2.
- the gap configuration it is possible to address issues relating to possible configured grants for uplink and/or downlink transmissions to/from the first subscription that may occur during the gap and/or to timers configured to control functionality in the active state. For example, a run- ning timer expiring during a gap may result in a false evaluation, for example to detection of a radio link failure.
- the gap configuration may configure uplink data transmissions during the gap to use enhanced or more robust transmission and disabling reception feed- back.
- the more robust transmission allows disabling the reception feedback. This addresses an issue that when a scheduled gap collides in time with a reception feedback of a transmission transmitted using configured grant to uplink, the feed- back, like acknowledgement, cannot be received during the gap.
- a more detailed example is described with Figure 4.
- the gap configuration may configure an offset to downlink data trans- mission for initial feedback to the user device (first subscription entity), which are scheduled with configured grant to downlink.
- first subscription entity the user device
- the offset it is also ensured that the feedback is received since it is not transmitted during the gap.
- the gap configuration may configure the user device (first subscription entity) to handle possible various timers during the gap. For example, actions may be given for timers, for example per a timer class, as will be described in more detail with Figures 6 and 7.
- Message 2-3 may be a radio resource control (RRC) reconfiguration message, which may include, as information elements, for gap configuration configuring uplink configured grants operation during a gap, downlink configured grants operation during the gap and timers during the gap, for example following: MusimGapConfigParams ⁇ rrc-ConfiguredUplinkGrantParamsDuringGap ⁇ precodingAndNumberOfLayers INTEGER (0..63), mcsAndTBS INTEGER (0..31), disableHARQ BOOL
- RRC radio resource control
- TimerHandlingDuringGaps Sequence of TimerClass ⁇ prohibitTimer, Inactivity Timer, FailureDetectionan- dRecoveryTimer,DrxTimer,periodicBSRTimer etc. ⁇
- the more robust uplink transmission is config- ured by setting values for parameters defining precoding, a number of layers, a modulation coding scheme (MCS), a transport block size (TBS], and by disabling hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ).
- MCS modulation coding scheme
- TBS transport block size
- HARQ hybrid automatic repeat request
- the user device monitors after transmitting data as scheduled by a configured grant, a new data indicator (NDI) bit in the physical downlink control channel(PDCCH) (The new data indicator bit set as one to indicates HARQ NACK (negative acknowledge- ment), i.e. that a transmission failed.
- NDI new data indicator
- NDI new data indicator
- HARQ NACK negative acknowledge- ment
- message 2-3 may comprise one or two of the sets, or any of the sets may be sent in a separate message.
- message 2-3 may configure mere uplink configured grant operations during one or more gaps, and contain following information elements: MusimGapConfigParams ⁇ rrc-ConfiguredUplinkGrantParamsDuringGap ⁇ precodingAndNumberOfLayers INTEGER (0..63), mcsAndTBS INTEGER (0..31), disableHARQ BOOL

- Message 2-3 may also configure mere timers, i.e. one or more timers, and contain following information elements:
- TimerClass choice prohibitTimer, Inactivity Timer, FailureDetectionan- dRecoveryTimer,DrxTimer,periodicBSRTimer etc.
- the access node gNB may have determined in point 2-2 to configure timers in general to continue running during the gap with existing timer values with one or more exception.
- message 2-3 may contain for the gap configuration following timer con- figuration for timers belonging to a prohibit timer class to run with existing values, except for a timer called sr-ProhibitTimer, which is provided with an offset to the timer value.
- the information elements in message 2-3 may be: timerHandlingDuringGaps Sequence of TimerClass ⁇
- the gap configuration may also comprise information defining when a gap starts, duration of the gap and periodicity of the gaps.
- the user device After receiving message 2-3, the user device (first subscription entity] uses (block 2-4 ⁇ the gap configuration during one or more gaps, depending on whether the request (message 2-1 ⁇ scheduled periodic gaps or one gap. Corre- spondingly, the access node uses (block 2-5 ⁇ the gap configuration during the one or more gaps.
- the user device has received (block 300 ⁇ a configured grant configuration for uplink and/or down- link transmissions and a gap configuration.
- block 301: yes ⁇ with data to be transmitted or scheduled to be received it is checked in block 302, whether the transmission occasion is during a scheduled gap. In other words, it is checked whether the transmission occasion is within the gap or collides with the gap. If the transmission occasion is during the scheduled gap (block 302: yes), the gap configuration is used in block 303 for the transmission. Then the pro- cess returns to block 301 to monitor when the next transmission occasion occurs. If the transmission occasion is not during the scheduled gap (block 302: no), the configured grant configuration is used in block 304 for the transmission. Then the process returns to block 301 to monitor when the next transmission occasion oc- curs.
- Figure 4 illustrates a more detailed example relating to uplink config- ured grant operations in 5G environment.
- a radio resource control (RRC) reconfiguration message with an uplink configured grant (UL CG) configuration sending a gap re- quest for multiple subscription entities (MUSIM gap request) is caused in step 402.
- RRC radio resource control
- a response to the request is received in block 403, the response being a radio re- source control (RRC) reconfiguration message with uplink (UL) gap configuration, i.e. gap configuration for uplink. Examples of such a gap configuration are given above with Figure 2.
- the gap configuration configures an enhanced or a more ro- bust configured grant to avoid a need for hybrid automatic repeat request, i.e.
- a scheduled transmission (tx) occasion i.e. a scheduled uplink transmission according to the uplink configured grant
- tx a scheduled uplink transmission according to the uplink configured grant
- feedback (downlink transmission) on the uplink transmission collides with the gap, when the gap is for downlink infor- mation.
- the data is transmitted in block 406 using the gap configuration, and the hy- brid automatic repeat request is disabled in block 406 for this data transmission. Then the process proceeds to block 404 to wait the next scheduled transmission to be detected. If the scheduled transmission occasion does not collide with the gap (block 405: no), the data is transmitted in block 407 using the configured grant (CG) configuration with the hybrid automatic repeat request. Then the process pro- ceeds to block 404 to wait the next scheduled transmission to be detected.
- CG configured grant
- the user device avoids resending the uplink data mere because no feedback was received because of the feedback colliding with the gap. (Correspondingly, the access node does not in vain try to send the feedback.)
- Figure 5 illustrates a more detailed example relating to downlink con- figured grant operations in 5G environment.
- the user device when the user device (a subscription entity in an active state) receives in block 501 a radio resource control (RRC) reconfiguration message with a downlink configured grant (DL CG) configuration, sending a gap request for multiple subscription entities (MUS1M gap request) is caused in step 502.
- the downlink configured grant configuration may configure semi persistent scheduling (SPS) in downlink, the configuration defining the periodicity of down- link transmissions, i.e. reception occasions in view of the user device, while a phys- ical downlink control channel targeted (addressed) to the subscription entity in the active state may activate or deactivate the configured downlink transmission.
- SPS semi persistent scheduling
- a re- sponse to the request is received in block 503, the response being a radio resource control (RRC) reconfiguration message with an offset to the semi persistent sched- uling, the offset defining the number of slots after the end of the gap, the number of slots defining where the next downlink transmission in a physical downlink shared channel is.
- RRC radio resource control
- the offset configures a new location for the downlink data. The reason is that during the gap the downlink path (reception path) is not available for the subscription entity in the active state since it is reserved for one or more subscription entities in the idle or inactive state.
- a scheduled reception occasion i.e. a scheduled assignment for downlink transmission according to the semi persistent scheduling for downlink (DL) configured grant is detected in block 504, it is checked in block 505, whether it is during the gap. In other words, it is checked, whether downlink transmission collides with the gap, when the gap is for downlink information.
- DL downlink
- the physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) is received in block 506 using the gap configuration, by receiving downlink based on the end of the gap and the offset (SPS offset). Then the process proceeds to block 504 to wait the next scheduled occurrence of downlink assignment to be detected.
- PDSCH physical downlink shared channel
- the physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) is received in block 507 as scheduled in the semi persistent scheduling (SPS). Then the process proceeds to block 504 to wait the next scheduled transmission to be detected.
- PDSCH physical downlink shared channel
- the gap configuration Thanks to use of the gap configuration, a collision of downlink data and the gap is avoided and the downlink data can be transmitted and received earlier than would be the case if the configuration received in block 501 would be used.
- Figures 6 and 7 illustrate different examples of timer operations that are configured to take into account gaps.
- Figure 6 illustrates an example in which there exists default timer actions to be used during gaps
- Figure 7 illustrates an example how the timer operations may be implemented during a gap.
- one or more or all timers may be clas- sified to a timer class.
- a timer may be classified to one of the following classes: a prohibition timer, an inactivity timer, a failure detection and recovery timer, a discontinuous reception timer, and a buffer status timer.
- timers that can be classified to be a prohibition timer include, using the terminology in the new radio, include following timers: sr-Pro- hibitTimer, logicalChannelSR-DelayTimerApplied, bitRateQueryProhibitTimer, phr-PeriodicTimer, delayBudgetReportingProhibitTimer, overheatinglndica- tionProhibitTimer, drx-PreferenceProhibitTimer, maxBW-PreferencePro- hibitTimer, maxCC-PreferenceProhibitTimer, maxMIMO-LayerPreferencePro- hibitTimer, minSchedulingOffsetPreferenceProhibitTimer; ReleasePreferencePro- hibitTimer; onDemandSIB-RequestProhibitTimer-rl6.
- timers that can be classified to be an inactivity timer include, using the terminology in the new radio: bwp-Inactivity- Timer, and datalnactivityTimer.
- timers that can be classified to be a failure detection and recovery timer include following tim- ers: bt-FailureDetectionTimer, and beamFailureRecoveryTimer.
- Timers having one or more timer actions configured in the gap configu- ration (block 602: yes) are run (block 603) during gaps as defined in the received timer action configuration.
- Timers having no timer action configured in the gap configuration are run (block 604) during the gaps according to default timer ac- tions.
- the default timer actions may be defined per a timer (timer type), and/or per a timer class, and/or a common timer may be used for timers.
- a default action may be to continue running, for timers belonging to the inactivity timer class, a default action may be to suspend, for timers belonging to the failure detection and recovery timer class, a default action may be to stop and restart after the gap, and for timers belonging to the discontinuous reception timer class, a de- fault action may be to run with a specific condition that the user device starts with an on-duration timer after the gap.
- a default action for a timer may be overridden by the gap configuration comprising definitions configuring the timer to perform another action.
- Figure 7 illustrates an example how to implement timer actions during a gap.
- a gap configuration with timer actions have been received (block 700).
- timers are pro- Switchd in a serial manner.
- timers may be processed, using the substantially same principles, in a parallel manner as well.
- the timers are timers running for a subscription entity that is in the active state and which has requested the gaps.
- an unprocessed timer is taken in block 702 to be processed.
- step 703 it is checked, whether there is an individual gap configuration for the timer.
- the timer class of the timer and corresponding configured action for the timer class is determined in block 704. If the action is to suspend (block 705: yes), the timer is stopped in block 706 with an indication to restart after the gap with the current value of the timer (i.e. with the value at the time the gap starts).
- the timer continues to run in block 712 with its cur- rent value. In other words, the gap does not affect to the timer.
- block 714 When the action has been determined (i.e. after block 706, or after block 708, or after block 710, or after block 712 or after block 713), it is checked in block 714 whether an action has been determined for timers to which an action is to be determined (i.e. whether such timers have undergone the process). If not (block 714: no), the process continues to block 702 to take another timer to be processed.
- the process checks in block 715, whether the timer is a timing advance (TA) timer. If not (block 715: no), the process proceeds to block 705 to determine the action configured for the timer.
- TA timing advance
- the parameters in the gap configuration may define a condition when to continue running with an offset and when without an offset.
- the offset if any, may depend on downlink measurement results. Therefore, depending whether there is a condition, and whether the condition is fulfilled, the timing advance timer continues to run in block 716 with a possible offset to its current value, or with the current value.
- a user device may request a gap configuration when a subscription identity transits from the idle or inactive state to the active state, and the first gap configuration may de- fine when a gap is started, a duration of the gap and a periodicity of the gap, and when a configured grant is received, the user device requests an updated gap con- figuration, the updated gap configuration comprising one or more parameters de- fining information for processing (e.g., how to process) one or more events, as de- scribed above.
- the access node is configured to determine whether the gap configuration is a first one or an updated one, and provide corre- sponding gap configurations.
- the first gap configuration may configure timer ac- tions, and the updated configuration may configure further timer actions and/or parameters for more robust transmission and disabling feedback.
- the access node may send a configured grant with updated gap configu- ration, i.e. without a specific request for updated gap configuration from the user device, based on an earlier received gap request and an existing gap configuration (the first or updated) for the user device.
